It is for you and me to answer to civilization and justice. We must begin at once, Captain Begg, without any loss of time," says he. I answered him a little sharply, perhaps, being not over-pleased that he should make so light of my own part in the matter. "Sir," said I, "what a seaman can do I have done already, or you would not be here to speak of it. Let that go by.
Davidson in his Coast and Survey work, and his Alaska Boundary, identify many of Vancouver's landfalls, and illustrate the tremendous difficulties overcome in local topography. It is hardly necessary to refer to Begg and Mayne, and other purely local sketches of British Columbian coast lines; as Begg's History simply draws from the old voyages. Of modern works, Dr.
