Lutz (Department of History) Supervisor Jordan Stanger-Ross (Department of History) Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee John S. Lutz (Department of History) Supervisor Jordan Stanger-Ross (Department of History) Departmental Member In May 1915 British soldiers stationed near Victoria instigated a retaliatory riot against the local German community for the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. The riot spanned two days, and many local residents eagerly took part in the looting and destruction of German owned businesses. Despite its uniqueness as the city’s largest race riot, scholars have under-appreciated its importance for Victoria and British Columbia’s racial narrative. The riot further signals a change in how Victorians understood Germanness. From the 1850s onwards, Victoria’s British hegemony welcomed Germans as like- minded and appropriate white settlers. I argue that race and colour shaped German lives in Victoria, for the most part positively. During the war however Germanness took on new and negative meaning. As a result, many Germans increasingly hid their German background.

The history of British Columbia has been written so often on the theory that all that is good in the province is a legacy from the men who came out in the interests of the Hud• son's Bay Company that this fallacy has become the belief of most people. Strangely enough little consideration has been given to the great field of the influence of the Eastern Bri• tish North American provinces upon the West. British Columbi• ans have ignored the fact that the great story of all British provinces has been the fight for responsible government, and that British Columbia and Vancouver Island do not differ from the remainder of Canada in this respect. Since they have ig• nored this fact it is only natural that they should also have ignored the men who fought for these principles.

  • "Poor Gaggin": Irish Misfit in the Colonial Service*
    "Poor Gaggin": Irish Misfit in the Colonial Service* DOROTHY BLAKEY SMITH In December 1858 John Boles Gaggin resigned his commission as first lieutenant in the Royal Cork Artillery Militia, and, armed with an intro­ duction from the Secretary of State for the Colonies to Governor James Douglas, prepared to seek his fortune in the newly established gold colony of British Columbia.1 He was one of a group of Anglo-Irish gentlemen recommended to Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton by that "intellectual, pictur­ esque, and friendly Irishman" Chichester Fortescue, who served as Parlia­ mentary Undersecretary at the Colonial Office during most of the period 1857-1865. At this time the Colonial Secretaryship itself was held by members of the nobility, and affairs abroad were consequently much under the influence of the "swarm of Under Secretaries [who] had to meet the House of Commons." Gilbert Malcolm Sproat, from whose fragmentary but illuminating "History of British Columbia"2 the foregoing quotations are taken, admits that Chichester Fortescue's recommendations for the Colonial Service of British Columbia, "though over-numerous and fol­ lowed by expectants, were, generally, men of a good character." Most of them, it appears, made a success of their new career.3 J. Boles Gaggin (as he usually signed himself) most emphatically did not. He had many admirable qualities; but as a cog in the civil service machine he was a perpetual source of concern to his colleagues, and he finally managed to provoke a full-scale confrontation with the Governor of British Columbia himself. This encounter sheds light on the inner workings of the civil service in *This article constitutes an expansion of a short biography of John Boles Gaggin com­ missioned for a forthcoming volume of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, and is printed here by permission of the general editor of DCB.
