p.3 Hunting Up Dangerous Rocks - W.J. Stewart, connected with the Dominion Hydrographical Survey, was in the city today, en route to his home in Ottawa. Mr. Stewart is a graduate of the Royal Military College, and was engaged during the summer in looking up rocks, reefs and shoals in the Georgian Bay. Progress has been made under difficulties. Many of the dangerous passages have been sounded, and a few rocks, not hitherto appearing on the charts, have been discovered, and others that have been wrongly located. In the winter Mr. Stewart will be engaged in preparing charts, based upon the summer's work, for the use of publishers.
