Captain Lewis knew that his company must winter on the east side of the mountains, and there were a dozen traders Hudson Bay and Nor'westers on the ground practising all the unscrupulous tricks of rivals, Nor'westers driving off Hudson Bay horses, Hudson Bay men driving off Nor'-westers', to defeat trade; so Captain Lewis at once had a fort constructed.
His life lasted almost to the end of these ingenious tortures, but his fortitude lasted as long as his life. In the next year, Titelmann caused one Robert Ogier, of Ryssel, in Flanders, to be arrested, together with his wife and two sons.
