Meat clouds the senses, and simple food, and little of it, is necessary for those who would enter the inner brotherhood."
Oxley.# After the passage over the Blue Mountains had been discovered in 1813 and the beautiful pasture land round Bathurst had been opened up to the enterprise of the squatters, it was natural that the colonists should desire to know something of the nature and capabilities of the land which stretched away to the west. In 1817 they sent Mr.
Lord BATHURST spoke next, to the effect following: My lords, whatever measures may be practised by the people for eluding the purposes of the bill now before us, with whatever industry they may invent new kinds of senatorial brandy, or by whatever artifices they may escape the diligence of the officers employed to collect a duty levied upon their vices and their pleasures, there is, at least, no danger that they will purchase from the continent those liquors which we are endeavouring to withhold from them, or that this bill will impoverish our country by promoting a trade contrary to its interest.
How far the early deposits extended to the north of the Laurentian Hills, as well as the outline of that portion of the continent in those times, remains still very problematical; but the investigations thus far undertaken in those regions would lead to the supposition that the same granite upheaval which raised Canada stretched northward in a broad, low ridge of land, widening in its upper part and extending to the neighborhood of Bathurst Inlet and King William's Island, while on either side of it to the east and west the Silurian and Devonian deposits extended far toward the present outlines of the continent.

There was a general expression of assent to this opinion, Wilson alone protesting against it. "You can do as you like," he said; "but certainly I shall speak to Bathurst, and I am sure the Doctor and Major Hannay will do so. I don't want to stand up for a coward, but I believe what the Doctor says.
"I'm quite certain that the most daring and dangerous of all northern spies is in Richmond," said Harry. Then he told Bathurst of Shepard and of the trails that he had seen among the pines behind Curtis's house. "Do you think this man got our map?" asked Bathurst. "It may have been so.
