    • CHAPTER I The Georgian Bay and Great Lakes Survey, 1883-1903 THE GEORGIAN BAY SURVEY UNDER STAFF COMMANDER J.G. BOULTON, RN, 1883-1893 CANADA'S FIRST HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYOR John George Boulton, was in his forty-first year, and had served in the Royal Navy some twenty-six years before coming to Canada in 1883 to commence the resurvey of Georgian Bay. Born in England 29 November 1842, he was in the RN before his fifteenth birthday. In December 1857, he was a master assistant to Capt. H.C. Otter, RN, HMS Porcupine, Survey of the West Coast of Scotland. In 1858 Capt. Otter was sent to Newfoundland where he took part in survey operations in connection with the laying of the first Atlantic cable in Bull's Arm, Trinity Bay. When the Australian Colonial Survey was formed in 1860, it was placed under Commander H.L. Cox, RN, HM Steam Frigate Curacoa, with headquarters at Victoria. Master Assistant Boulton was then posted to this station where he remained until 1867. On 6 December 1863 he was successful in "Passing in Seamanship" and was then reappointed second master HMS Eclipse on this station. Before the month of December ended, he held this rank in HMS Curacoa, with the proviso "additional for Surveying Duties." During the Maori War in the Pacific Ocean, Second Master Boulton was detached from the Australian Survey for special work in New England. When the Admiralty oceanographic vessel HMS Challenger was in Australia during her world cruise, Second Master Boulton had the honour of being enlisted as one of her officers, from 1 October 1866 to June 1867 and as usual, additional for surveying duties.

The number of English settlers does not compare with the number to be found in those dioceses which include the huge Canadian prairie ; but it is, nevertheless, so large, and the wide area over which they are scattered is so great, that the work which is being done amongst them is of a specially difficult character. A thrill of pleasure passed over all who were acquainted with life and work in Algoma when its Bishop recently refused to accept another bishopric that was offered to him, which would have entailed less arduous work than that which he has nobly accomplished during nearly twenty years. We hope that the present volume will draw the attention of many to the needs and claims of this diocese. It is based upon ‘ By Lake and Forest,’ which was written by F.
