Caulfeild area was being
_used as a summer camp
ground.

By the end of 1900
Caulfeild had built a pier and

wildlife preserve. This was

Mr. Gordon, today the
unofficial ‘‘Mayor of the
Village’, heartily supports
Mr. Caulfeild’s ideals.“ Dur-
ing a discussion with the
writer earlier this spring, he.
expressed his desire for the.
areas of Caulfeild and.
Lighthouse Park to become a
bird sanctuary. ‘‘I’d rather
feed them than. shoot then”’
he stated emphatically as we
watched approximately thirty
beautiful mallards swimming
in the bay.

SUMMER CAMP GROUND

1910 was another busy
year. Several lots were
sold. Mr.
Grafton was promoted to
lighthouse keeper, and Mrs.
‘Kettle took over the opera-.
tion of the store at the head

LITTLE STEAMER

During this. time the only
transportation to Vancouver
was with Captain Cates
aboard the little steamer
**Britannia’’. Mr. Stone com-
ments, in his’ History of
Caulfeild Village, ‘‘If one
wished the Britannia to call
in at Caulfeiid Cove on her
return trip to the city, you
needed, in good time about 6
