Quotations

1862
A passerby in a canoe in the year 1862 had this comment to make: "Further on we passed Denman Island, where Comox Indians used to live. . . . Here on the sands were many seals, which are much relished and are known as 'Indian Pig'. The flesh was not unlike bacon, but whites soon tire of it."
