surveying the coast line." ....source: HOWLEY 1915

(1663) the Governor of a Colony appointed an officer, known as the
NAVAL OFFICER, whose dudy it was to make out a list of exports and
imports and to give security to the Commissioners of His Majesty's
Customs for the performance of his duty. Newfoundland, not being
considered a colony, had no such officer at first, but in 1787 a
certain Mr. BUCHANAN received from Governor ELLIOT a commission
appointing him NAVAL OFFICER in Newfoundland with authority to
appoint deputies in the outports"......In 1820 the nominal NAVAL
OFFICER was a Mr. R. H. NOBLE at WHITEHALL.... source: HOWLEY 1915

learned some few further particulars of Capt. BUCHAN, and have
been also kindly furnished with a photograph of him copied from an
oil painting......Her father was his eldest son [Lieut. BEECHEY??]
and was with him on his Arctic Expedition, and she often heard him
describe it. He [Lieut. BEECHEY ??]died when she was quite
young. She does not say what other descendants Capt. B. left. On

officers, the one under WELLINGTON, and the other a Flag-Lieut.

""Sir John FRANKLIN Notes
That summer the coasts of Spitzbergen (now known as Svalbard) were
swarming with life. Among the many kinds of birds were little
auks, cormorants, divers and gulls. Eider ducks were so thick on
the ground that it was immpossible to walk without treading on
their nests. BEECHY describes a a line of little auks more than
three miles long, so closely packed that thirty fell at a single
shot.At 16 to the cubic yard he estimated their number at
4,000,000. One island, Vogel Sang, yielded 40 reindeer carcases
for the expedition.""
