More Spaniards In The Works

IN the light of the new evidence reported by Judy Tudor in the accompanying article, it now seems evident that “my” wall did form part of the trading station that SFNH had in the south-east corner of Big Bay. But unless, originally, it was the “rampart with its embrasures” built by the Spaniards, the Spanish rampart must still be lurking up there in the Big Bay bush. What I believe happened is that the SFNH people used the Spanish rampart as part of the base of their trading station, just as the Spaniards used the old Inca walls (above) as the bases for their buildings in Cuzco, Peru.—ROBERT
