Text Appearing Before Image:
Company, etabliten cet endroit une ecluse en bois dont on discerne encore biennettement Pemplacement. Quand on traverse cette branche dePOttawa en chemin de fer, on apergoit a Faval des pouts deuxtranchees assez larges pratiquees dans une pointe de la rivedroite. Cest dans celle du large que se trouvait Fecluse, Tautreamenait les eaux a un moulin dont il ne reste plus trace. Unejetee, aussi en bois, montait de Fecluse jusqua Filot ou M. lesenateur Beique a aujourdhui sa maison de campagne; ellaconstituait Fapproche damont du canal et se voit encore tresbien aux basses eaux. M. H.-S. Harwood, de qui je tiens qnel-ques-uns de ces details, assure que les murs de Fecluse etai-.nitencore debout il y a environ cinquante ans. Quelle etait la grandeur de Fecluse en question?

R. W. Shepperd qui commandait alors, pour lecompte dune compagnie rivale, le steamer Saint-David, decou-vrit, par un coup daudace, un chenal sur dans le rapide deuSainte-Anne et mit ainsi fin au monopole de la Saint AndrewsSteam forwarding Company. Cette citation, tiree dun ouvrage intitulee Steam naviga-tion and its relation to the commerce of Canada and UnitedStates, contient une erreur assez grave, attendu que lauteur.M. James Croil, con fond le rapide de Sainte-Anne avec celui deVaudreuil. Le chenal sur se trouvait tout simplement danscelui-ci, mais le long da la rive opposee a celle ou lon avaitetabli Pecluse.
