Aug. 17th--A large seaplane, "The Caaz," with Capt. Maxwell as pilot and
Mr. Doan as engineer, landed here this afternoon. This is
the first flying machine to come to Moose Factory and was
quite a sight for our Indians.
Aug. 19th--The general inspector left on the schooner "Fort George" for
Charlton Island this morning at 7 o'clock. A canoe carrying
the ship's papers and two apprentice clerks, Mr. Gregory and
Mr. Bremner, arrived at 1 p.m., just a few hours late to
catch the schooner which I was holding for that purpose, so
I had to get busy and send off our hay-boat with this mail
to Charlton Island.
Aug. 23rd--The seaplane landed here to-day on her second trip from Remy
Lake, which is a few miles from Cochrane, with two moving
picture men, Mr. Blake and Mr. Tash. They claim that they
are being sent by the Ontario Government to take pictures.

schooner "Fort Charles" from Charlton Island, and states
that they had a hard and trying trip coming through the
Straits. Mr. and Mrs. Mayer were also passengers. Mr. Mayer
is our worthy Post Manager at Great Whale River and is on
his way out to civilization on a few months' leave.
Aug. 27th--The seaplane "Caaz" brought us some newspapers from Cochrane,
dated Aug. 25th, with the latest news.
Aug. 31st--We have at last managed to extinguish the bush fire which was
started by the Rev. Mr. Haythornthwaite on the 25th inst.,
after working day and night since it started. This will be
quite a relief to the many families who are still camped
across the river, as they were afraid to come back.
