His Honor Lioutenant Governor Sclmltz, previous to read- ing iiis paper on " A Forgotten Nortliorn Fortress" before the Historical Society, said that lie felt an apoloj^y to he due to the President, officers and members of the Society for having been unable to take upon himsi^lf a greater share of the Society's work and that, in tlie presence of so many »rentle- ; men who ha»l contril>uted so largely to its successful acconi- plishment, he felt that he was very far behind indeed. If. however, a reasonable excuse could be found for him in the precarious health and many engagements of the past, he would promise, now that he was better, amendment for the future, and, should the Council Vjeable to give him an evening some time soon, he would prepare for it some matter relating to our early history, which might be of interest to the society.

Among such reconls were many which were purely historical, and he would endeavor, if pos.sible, to select from these, many of them dating back as far as lSo7, such as might be an addition to the Society's records.

He had chosen for its title " A Forgotten Northern Fortress " as being applicable, inasmuch as being far away from any route of modern tourist or business travel, Fort Prince of Wales is scarcely ever mentioned and its ruins are .seldom seen by ; other eyes than tho.se on board the Hud.son's Bay Com[)any's supply ship, which once a year visits those lonely shores. For the photographic view of its ruins which he had placed upon the table he was indebted to Professor Robert Bell, of
