[BRYCE] LORD SELKIRK’S DIARIES 9 
Dec. 15th, 1804. Speaks of Baldoon and Chenal Ecarté. (Bal- 
doon was Lord Selkirk’s settlement on Bear Creek, near Lake St. Clair, 
Upper Canada, to which he had invited British settlers from the United 
States. It was for 8 or 10 years a constant trouble to him, and did 
not succeed as a settlement. In Lord Selkirk’s visit through New York 
State, of which those diaries give an account, it is plain that his Lord- 
ship gave much thought and took great trouble to repatriate in Canada 
settlers who had gone from Britain to the United States. Ed.).
