h Ed Matheson presided.

Bill Campbell, during the open season of navigation, had command of
the brigades of Indians employed to transport goods from Wolf Bight to
the interior posts, and during the midwinter months conducted a
sub-post and storehouse situated at the southerly end of the Great
Lake, not far from Manikawan's grave.

With the interior trade in such able hands, Ungava Bob devoted his
attention to the Bay trade, and it is needless to say that the
trappers of the region prospered.

Richard, in command of the trim schooner "Manikawan," also opened a
profitable trade with livyeres and Eskimos of the coast.

Shad Trowbridge, after graduation from college, quickly developed into
an able business man, and personally attended to the purchase of
supplies and the sale of products.

Trowbridge and Gray made mistakes, as was to be expected, and had
their ups and downs, but in the end they succeeded, and the firm is
known to-day from Boston to Hudson's Straits as one of the most
honourable and substantial concerns in the North.

At the very beginning of their career Shad and Bob adopted as their
trademark the picture of an Indian maiden with bow raised and arrow
poised ready for its flight, and beneath it the word "Manikawan." With
this constantly before them Shad declared they could never stray from
the original object of their enterprise, and could never forget the
lesson taught by Manikawan's heroic sacrifice. And never since the
firm began business have Manikawan's people failed to receive relief
in times of need, and never has there been a repetition of the awful
year of starvation.

"'Tis wonderfully strange, Bessie, how things come about," Bob
sometimes says to his wife, in their cosy home at St. Johns. "I used
to think the Lord had forgotten me sometimes, but I always found later
that those were the times He was nearest to me."

"The Lord has always been very close to you, Bob," Bessie invariably
replies.

Emily, at the earnest solicitation of Shad, was permitted to finish
her education in Boston under the chaperonage of Shad's sister, and
developed into a charming and accomplished woman, though she never
lost her love for the little cabin at Wolf Bight.

But the failures and successes of Trowbridge and Gray, and the
experiences of Emily in the new and greater world which she entered,
are stories by themselves, and each would require a volume to relate.
