An Indian with a flag of truce, in Clayoquot Sound, Vancouver Island, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by Lieutenant Edward C. Hall. '...a portrait of the Man Friday, an Indian of Barclay Sound, employed as interpreter by Mr. Hankin (formerly Lieutenant R.N.), who was surveying in these waters with H.M.S. Hecate a few years ago...The frequency of outrages and disorders on this coast is a subject of the more regret, as it is notorious that the white man himself is often to blame when the Indian takes the law into his own hands'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
