The: `vessel enjoyed much popularitysas an I excursion steamer for years. But many circumstances combined to in- jure the excursion business,` as the rnotor boat-and the motor car came ' -into use,land when the war came in ` .1914 it gave the final stroke. The Islay was beached in the summer of E 1915, to await the-time when the`; Trent canal wouldtbe finished, and 3 }she `could be got out to the big lakes, *` where Captains Mclnnes and his son had long been anxious to take hen!` But before the completion" of the ] locks large .enough`to _let her get ` throug-h, shevfell a victim to fire,i` either from carelessness or incen.- diarism. She was always a staunch ` boat, said Mr. Mclnnes to the Pack- ` et Reporter who visited the Park ` wharf` on Monday. a I never knew 3 'a sea on Simcoe in which we hesi- 1 tated to go out.

CHILDREN'S vsrdiiiiri HOUR 59:1: Yea? BARN; CANADA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1922. ` No. 1:3. ' "`'*'"" THIS WEEK In his History of Simcoe county, the author, A; F. Hunter, refers at different places to some of the. stir- ring events which took place on the! ;.Nottawasaga river during the war of l 3 1812-14. In one instance he chron- icles the aruival in these `parts of a ,military expedition which was des- {patched from Kingston to Fort Mich- ilimackinac to prevent its "re-capture ;'by Americans who had lost thevFort 1 to the Canadians on July 17th, of the; opening year of the war. The Bri-| tish party left Kingston in February, 1814. It consisted of ten officers and two hundred picked ` men, twenty artillerymen and twenty jack tars from the Royal Navy, under the com- mand of Lieut.-Col. McDouall, of the , Glengarry Light'Brigade. Mr. Hunter says; _A large part of the route lay through territory .but little known. To this must be added another hard- ship-th e severity of the winter in which the march was-made. From Kingston they proceeded to `Little York , which was still `suffering from the grim experiences of. its capture. They next advanced`north- ward by Yonge street_ to Holland Landing after which they passed en- tirely. out of the` settlements, and crossed `the frozen surface of Lake Simcoe. .Beyond this lake the for- est was still unbroken except by an Indian portage, which for the passage of their supplies they widened as they advanced. This road, leading from the head of.Kempenfeldt Bay to Willow Creek, a branch of the Not- tawasaga River, was called the Nine- 1 5 I Mile" Portage and afterwards be- ~ came an important colonization road. At its northerly end, near Willow Creek, a wooden fort was subsequent- lv erected, and a hamlet flourished there for several years, but it has long since disappeared, and its site is marke only by a few hillocks of earth and ones. ' Engineer_ McCu'bbin s survey will `take place over scenes familiar. to} history over one hundred `years`ago,; when the Nottawasaga river was Ideeper and..broader than it is at the ,present day. At any` rate the water-' way was used extensively during the war of 1812-14 and for several years afterwards,-and boats and barges of fair size were used as a means of I transportation. - -- - ~. \lvIAIAuJ LLEECDWI-95 ' It is believed that Engineer Mc-1 Cubbin s report may bring the coun- ties of Grey and Dufferin into the scheme, since two large branches of the ,Nottawasaga river have their source in these counties, and both` pbranches, it is said, are responsible for part of theflooding of the lower `stretches. i `I113:-g The Nottawasagz dminage scheme is one that has been discussed off and |on for the last half. century or so `according to Daniel Quinlan. But it remained` to the present county coun- ,cil to take the bull by the horns, as _5it were, and the project has been pressed by a; committee appointed fby the council last June, which com- !mit_tee is composed of Couns. Moore, iMartin,. Wilson, Drysdale and the lCounty Treasurer. ` `IL 3... L_,'l:____ .1 LL -4 1.1,, . ' , If I Of course, there really isn't much; left of the old Islay, which was burnt to the water's edge in January, 1919. But the machinery is there, and that is what Mr. Mclnnes wants to sal- vage. The boiler alone cost $5,500 before the war, and is worth more than that to-day. The engine, `too, was a good one, and Mr. Mclnnes believes it can ~be.made useful again at comparatively slight expense. And he has proved that he knows more about the boat than the wiseacres who have scoffed at him. Certainly According to .a survey made of the lNot_tawasaga river by Elihu Stewart, oflOttawa, formerly of Collingwood, there is a fall of only 10 -feet 6 inches in the 19% miles which lies between Edenvale bridge and the mouth of the Nottawasaga. This survey was made about twenty years ago and !_ it is believed that conditions are ;practically the same today _.as they` were then. Most of the presen.t .s.nr- vey work will likely `take place be- tweenthese two points but it will also be carried farther south. There -is practically novflooded land in this northern area but most of `the dredg- ` -my----an uva\;.av4va.Ln.n ing difficulties are believed to liel` I there. `V .. mcmnm STARTS AONLWASAGA SURVEY (Continued from page 1) Biggs about the middle of August when -the project was presented to- him by a deputation composed of the following: Warden Banting, Reeve Moore of Alliston, Reeve Wilson of `Vespra, Reeve Martin of Sunnidale, !and Daniel- Quinlan, County Treas- urer.

Practically single handed, he got the hull pumped out, with the help of a gasoline pump which he vrigged up for the `purpose. Itvtook weeks of preparation, but only a few hours of } pumping, and on Friday last, Mr. Mc- Innes called on John and George Whitton to give him a hand in bring`- .ing the boat over to the wharf. A few turns on windlass brought her clear of the mud, and then a few ex~ ' citing moments, as the big hull swung in the fresh breeze, and it was made fast to the wharf. , ' t (Continued froin page 1) points counted.
