INTRODUCTION xxxiii 



Many of the methods used bv Cartwris-ht in the 

 capture of birds, beasts and fishes are still em- 

 ployed on the Labrador coast, and many of the 

 local names for these methods and for the game 

 still remain. Some of the methods have been im- 

 proved, but in agricultui'e Oartwright seems to 

 have been far in advance of the Labrador dwellers 

 of the present day, and the^^ could learn a lesson 

 from his experiences. 



The names bestowed bv Cartwrio^ht on the is- 

 lands and harbours of the Labrador coast still 

 remain. One of his chief seats of residence there. 

 Caribou Castle, near the entrance of Sandwich 

 Bay, perpetuates his name as the Hudson's Bay 

 Company's Post of Cartwright. At the little 

 graveyard at this post is a stone erected by Miss 

 F. D. Cartwright to the memory of the two broth- 

 ers George and John. Tliis reads as follows:
