Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Columbia approved an order-in-council which declared in part "that the remains of Fort Defiance, the winter quarters of Robert Gray in the years 1791-1792, have been located on lands situated on the west coast of Vancouver Island in the vicinity of Lemmens Inlet. " Protection for the fort was established under the Archaeological and Historic Sites Protec-tion Act, and by this action the lengthy but sporadic search for Adventure Cove was for practical purposes brought to a close. This order-in-council was not the first assertion that Gray's wintering spot had been found. Samuel Eliot Morison (1938:3) , almost three decades earlier, had claimed that "on a cruise in the ketch Seaway of Portland in July, 1937, her owner, Mr. Edmund Hayes, Mrs. Hayes and myself located the winter quarters of the Columbia in 1791-92: the place where Fort Defiance was raised and the sloop Adventure built.... " The site Morison and the Hayes proposed was located on Meares Island at the entrance to Disappointment (or Lemmens) Inlet, almost due east of Torino. It lay behind Morpheus Island, and while not all features of the location were in agreement with the contemporary accounts or drawings of the cove, Morison felt reasonably sure of the location: It was quite a thrill for a Bostonian like myself, who has followed the history of the northwest fur trade, to visit the site of the lively scene depicted by the brush of Davidson and described in the Columbia's logs. We all wished that we had time to search among the salal bushes and the fir and cedar that have grown up since 1792 for bricks from Fort Defiance's chimney and other relics of that busy winter. When we visited the place no vestige of human life was visible; the place had reverted to its original wilderness state... (Morison 1938:7). The Morpheus Island location held until a search initiated by Ken-neth Gibson of Torino uncovered in 1966 an alternative spot about three

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
