Follow these procedures to minimize injury to fish: • Barbless hooks must be used. • Do not use a tailer. • When using a landing net, use one with knotless mesh, as it is less harmful to fish scales, gills and eyes. • A leader tip should be heavy enough to bring in large salmon quickly, or light enough to allow large salmon to break off. • Move to a quiet water location. • Bring the fish quickly into reach, or break it off after a couple of runs. • Do not beach the salmon; keep the entire salmon underwater as much as possible. • Handle the salmon gently; do not squeeze the fish and avoid touching the gills and eyes. Loss of scales and damage to the gills caused by pressure on the gills or by removal from the water are the most serious injuries a salmon can suffer. • Remove the hook gently with pliers or with your thumb and forefinger. If the hook must be left in, cut the leader as close to it as possible. • Support the fish under the belly, keeping it in an upright position, underwater and facing into the current.

  • 19 Century Newfoundland Outport Merchants the Jersey Room, Burin
    19th century Newfoundland outport merchants The Jersey Room, Burin, c. 1885, S.H. Parsons photo (GPA collection). submitted to Provincial Historic Commemorations Program Dept. Business, Tourism, Culture & Rural Development P.O. Box 8700 St. John's, NL A1E 1J3 submitted by Robert H. Cuff Historian/Writer Gerald Penney Associates Limited PO Box 428, St. John’s, NL A1C 5K4 10 November 2014 Executive Summary In their impact on Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic development, patterns of settlement, and community life, 19th century outport merchants made a significant historic contribution. Their secondary impact, on the Province’s political and cultural development, may be less obvious but was nonetheless vital. Each merchant had a demonstrable impact beyond his home community, in that each supplied nearby communities. Although a merchant’s commercial home sphere was typically in the headquarters bay or region, the majority of the outport merchants were also involved in both fishing and in supplying planters/ fishers in migratory or vessel-based fisheries elsewhere: the Labrador and French Shore fisheries; the seal hunt; and the western boat and Bank fisheries of the south coast. For the purposes of this review it was found helpful to draw a distinction between “resident outport merchants” who lived the full range of their adult lives in rural Newfoundland and the “merchant gentry” whose outport residency was an episode in their business and family life which was otherwise substantially spent in the Old Country or in St. John’s. The resident group may be more worthy of consideration for the Province’s commemoration program. Existing commemorations tend to favour the merchant gentry.

That's what Jerry Wetzel said when I talked with him about Mi'kmaq history. As Jerry said, many of the old- timers have died in recent years and taken their stories with them. Another of those old-timers, Douglas Paul of Point Leamington died recently. Some of Mr. Paul's memories appear in this book. I wish to offer special thanks to Jerry for his insights into Mi'kmaq and Beothuck history. He is really a wealth of information.

    James P. Howley, “the birth of Newfoundland archaeology, and the end of history” Keynote address delivered at the Newfoundland and Labrador Archaeology Society Symposium in Honour of the 100th Anniversary of James P. Howley’s Book, The Beothucks or Red Indians, held at The Landing (UC-3018), Smallwood University Centre, MUN. Gerald Penney Gerald Penney Associates Limited P.O. Box 428 St. John, NL A1C 5K4 709-739-7227 [email protected] 5 November 2015 1 James Patrick Howley (1847-1918) 2 Alexander Murray (1810-1884) 3 James Patrick Howley was born at St. John’s in 1847 and died here in 1918. He was field assistant to Alexander Murray the Director of the Newfoundland Geological and Topographical Survey from age of 21, acting Director in 1887, and was appointed Director in 1898. When the Newfoundland Museum opened in 1907, Howley then 60 years old and with a reduced capacity for fieldwork, was named its curator. Also in that year he produced the first geological map of Newfoundland. While his contributions to literature, history and geography are significant on a national scale, we are here to commemorate his many years collecting documentary accounts, oral history, ethnographic information and artifacts of Newfoundland’s aboriginals, This, of course, resulted in 1915 with the publication of his landmark study and compilation: The Beothucks or Red Indians. In addition his Reminiscences of Forty-Two Years Exploration In, And About, Newfoundland, published posthumously in 2009 and available online, is a uniquely valuable record in its own right, and especially so for the archaeologist. A selection of yearly field investigations from Reminiscences was published in 1997 by the Champlain Society.

  • William Eppes Cormack (1796–1868): the Later Years
    William Eppes Cormack (1796–1868): The Later Years Ingeborg Marshall and Alan G. Macpherson Introduction The story of William Eppes Cormack’s early years was presented in this journal in 2016.1 Cormack is well known in Newfoundland for his walk across the island in 1822, and for his efforts on behalf of the Beothuk, Newfoundland’s Indigenous people. He was born in St. John’s in 1796, the third of five children to Janet (née McAuslan) and Alexander Cormack. His older two siblings had died by the time he was six years old, and his father died a year later, in 1803. Janet Cor- mack remarried, to the merchant David Rennie. The couple had five children. In 1810, the family left Newfoundland for good and settled in Glasgow, Scotland, where William attended Glasgow and Edin- burgh universities. In 1818 his stepfather, David Rennie, sent him to Prince Edward Island (PEI) to settle Scottish crofters on land he had purchased years earlier. In early 1822, about a year after his mother, Janet Rennie, had died, Cormack returned to St. John’s, Newfoundland. This paper pres- ents in outline what is known of Cormack’s life from 1822. It covers Cormack and Sylvester’s walk across Newfoundland in 1822,2 Cor- mack’s founding of the Boeothick Institution, his search for Beothuk survivors, and his efforts to collect information about the Beothuk from Shanawdithit, as recorded in Cormack’s papers found in the Howley family archive in St. John’s in the 1970s.3 The content of many of these papers was published in J.P.
