 | | There, 10 of the party were killed and scalped by hostile natives, The survivors, fearing for their own lives, chiseled a message on a large flat stone at an island stopover. | | | Further, as far as any impetus to expand activities westward from Greenland may have been concerned, a number of commentators have already noted that the Vikings could well have obtained a glimpse Baffin Island during their earlier and subsequent forays into Baffin Bay. | | | Some speculate that Bishop Gislrikt of Bergen, an Englishman, may have recommended Nicholas of Lynn, an English Franciscan friar famous as an astronomer, to Knutson as a navigator. |

| | Though both were under the British Crown, the North West Company did not recognize the monopoly claimed by the Hudson's Bay Company in "Rupert's Land", (now western Canada) and the Hudson's Bay Company had no way to enforce it. | | | The competition between the companies was very good for the First Nations economy. | | | Though French Government functionaries returned to France, the coureurs-de-bois and fur traders remained behind and soon formed partnerships with arriving British businessmen to continue exploiting the western fur trade, just as they had done before under French rule. |
