DAVID STUART

A sea captain marooned nine
men on the Falkland Islands in
1810 and thereby almost scuttled
the founding of Kamloops. This
was just one in a series of perils
in the life of David Stuart, fur
trader, explorer and adventurer,

Seottish-born in 1765, Stuart
came to North America before
the turn of the century. He
traded in Nova Scotia and fished
off Labrador. Then in 1810 he
joined the Pacific Fur Company
and with his nephew Robert,
sailed round the Horn to the
Columbia River. Three times the
ship sprung a leak; twice it
caught fire, Then there was a
feud with the captain — and
David Stuart and eight others
were marooned, His nephew

On March 8, Betty Kirby was

enralied as a member of the 3rd
Kitsumkalum Brownie pack. Susan

forced the captain at pistol
point, to return for them.

In 1811 Stuart was present
for the founding of Astoria at
the mouth of the Columbia.
(Later the same year he started
up the Columbia, travelling for
a time in company with the
Great map-maker David Thomp-
son. Sometimes they travelled
at a mile-an-hour pace between
river banks populated by threat-
ening Indians. But they traded
mnetal buttons for Indian friend-
ship — and their strength for
progress against the rushing cur-
rent.

At the end of a 600-mile jour:
ney Stuart and his companions
built Fort Okanagan at the june-
tion of the Columbia and Okana-
gan Rivers. Then with three men
Stuart went north again, wint-
ering with the Indians at the
present site of Kamloops, where
another post, which was to be
Fort Kamloops, was set up.
Later Stuart recrossed the con-
linent by land to Montreal in
1814, He left the fur trade in
1834 and settled in Detroit
