friend, fellow surveyor and cartographer Michael Lane were
familiar with Halifax harbour where Acadian prisoners were
put to work and where George and Grenville street are still
in the shipping centre. For his labours in the pilotage of the
St. Lawrence estuary Cook was awarded fifty pounds by Lord
Colville, and a brig H.M.S. "Grenville" was placed under his
command by Sir Hugh Palliser for the surveying and chart-

names are foreign incursions in the Bay, not born out of the
experiences of the local population. By the Treaty of Utrecht,
which ended the war of the Spanish Succession in 1713,

province was ceded to Great Britain, and that with this con-
dition they refused to comply." In 1755, 42 years later, from
Whitehall, Sir Thomas Robinson gave the order for their
deportation, and Governor Charles Lawrence of Nova Scotia
