Though Senator Menier could spend
only summers on Anticosti—the Island
to marooned through a tong winter—
lie never lost interest In the great ex-
periment initiated by his brother. Bui
luervatriug age mude the sea voyage
more exacting.
Jacques Cartier in 1634 discovered
the Island, which in a mood of piety
he called “Assumption,” a name
which, however, would not stick,
llitn King Louis IV presented it as
a seigneury to Sieur Louis Joliet, dis
coverer of the mouths of the Missis-
sippi and the Illinois. Joliet didn’t
seem to appreciate Anticosti, and his
name to perpetuated not by the St.
Lawrence island, but In a penal tnsti
tution at Joliet.
But In Joliet's family the little Is-
land kingdom remained until 1873.
when an English company, having
bought It. induced Newfoundland fish-
ermen and their famillee to settle
there by dreams of a new Beulah
luind.
Canadian government supply boats
saved the settlers’ Ilves after their
dream dissolved within a year, with
the company's money. In 1886-7 F.
W. Stockwell of Quebec bought the
whole Island for $100,000. Menier, in
his turn, bought It outright in 1805
from the Island of Anticosti company.

pany which had gope bankrupt
The English fishermen and wreck -
ers who were squatting on the toland
soon realized that Henri Menier had
begun his reign; that he was French
to the fore, and that he did not ap-
preciate their remiciviltoed mode of
life. Ordered by Menier to leave the
island and not to fish within three
miles of the shore, the mutinous fish-
ermen joined the wreckers, who had
made the most accessible section of
the south shore their profitable
stronghold for many years. Deter-
mined to investigate the sudden dis-
appearance of the fishermen. Menier
set out to steam around the south
shore in his yacht Velleda.

Out of the darkneM that overtook
them shone the lure-ltgbt of the wreck-
ers. The captain was about teshape
hto course toward the fatal beacon
when Menier had hto suspicions roused
and went shoreward with a dozen men
in a launch. They were fired upon by
the wreckers, who saw the yacht an-
chor and realized that their trick had
failed. Next day at the head of an
armed posse of his employees Menier
discovered their hiding place. A-bat-
tle •ensued. In which two of th* wgseto
era were wounded. Piling the fisher-
men and ship ghouls Into hto yacht,
Menier landed them summarily on the
coast of Quebec.
Here was a clash of sovereignty,
and soldiers began drilling for a pos-
sible war between Canada and Menier
and possibly France, but the affair
blew over with mutual concessions.

An Island of Wrecks.
Without the lure-lights of the
wreckers Anticosti’s rock-bound and
often fog-inclosed coast—ohly four
miles from the regular track of ocean-
going steamers—was sufficiently dan-
gerous.
In ten years of the early ’80s, It
was established by a Canadian official
that 10Q vessels. Including seven
steamships, sixty-seven sailing vessels,
fourteen brigantines and eighteen
schooners, with 3.000 souls and a loss
of almost $7,000,000. were tossed upon
its sunken reefs.

Troopships in almost every early
English attempt to take Quebec were
tossed upon Anticosti sands. One
bleak day in November, 1827. the stout
brig Granicus stranded on one of the
Island's shore reefs. Next spring a
Canadian government vessel found
the swful record of Its crew. Human
skeletons littered the inside of a rude
hut near the shore, and In a pot over
the fireplace were found the prepara-
tions for a meal whose like one would
hardly expect to find outside Fiji or
Tahiti in the premissionary days.
Out of the sixty-five men who found
refuge on the Island from the French
sloop of war, Renommee, in 1737, only
three men survived to welcome the
rescuing party. Out of the woods
came the three men of the Renommee
looking more like wild beasts than
men. with suppliant hands stretched
out toward the French-Canadian fish-
ermen who had come to aid them.
For the three weeks previous to tha
rescue they had lived on their boots
and fur breeches boiled In snow water.
One of them died of jey. One be-

The “Isle of Shipwrecks” they call
Anticosti in niemory of the disasters
that piled up on Its roekbound coasts
before the days of range lights and

but the sweetening influences of the
Menier regime have banished most of
them to the limbo of tradition.
When M. Menier. one of the wealth-
iest men tn the world, bought the is-
land tn 1886 bls purpose was to estab-
lish a shooting lodge that would be

planned a game preserve that would

with an acreage of 3.780 square miles
and two or three million acres of
woods already naturally stocked with

But the commercial possibilities of
the island which previous generations
had left almost aa an oatcast of the
sea soon forced themselves on his at-
tention. Fishing Industries were es-
tablished. A pulp mill was erected.
Fishing and hunting camps for Ameri-
can tourists were built and leased
with salmon and trout rights. Sliver
fox ranching was established, produc-
