If you like solving puzzles and getting to grips with a real
mystery why not join Llewelyn as he penetrates into the
fascinating, murky and sordid past history of Port Hope Simpson, a
coastal logging town on the east coast of wilderness Canada as he
uncovers a great deal more than he bargained for ? For example, at
least 6 apparent evidence discrepancies cast serious doubt about
the truthfulness of a Tombstone's inscription (still standing in
The Town today as a Family Memorial to events that are still not
really talked about openly...for whatever reason by the recent
ancestors of the deceased - to Arthur Eric Williams 27 years
Welshman and his infant daughter Erica D'Anitoff Williams,
grand-duaghter of Russian Count D'Anitoff. What really happened on
one horrific night when the innocent three and a half year old
infant girl and her 27 year old father died in most suspicious,
acrimonious circumstances in the early hours of 3 February 1940 in
a fire that burnt down their timber Company House in Port Hope
Simpson, Labrador, Newfoundland, Canada? Eric, as he was known, was
the eldest son of John Osborne Williams, owner of the Labrador
Development Company Ltd logging company that operated in Port Hope
Simpson from 1934 - 1941. He was sent out by his father to report
on problems and issues particularly to do with the Company Store in
Port Hope Simpson run by local Manager Keith Yonge...but he never
returned. Was he was made to pay for the purported sins of his
father? A Public Enquiry into the Affairs of the Labrador
Development Company Ltd. was conducted in 1941. The results only
became UK Government "Open Papers" in 1996. Maybe that says it all?
The true cause of their deaths is still not yet established. Let's
look for any relevant clues within for example, 'The Times'
newspapers, London, England from 1934-39 whose articles also offer
touches of humour; many different historical insights into the
period under scrutiny including "The Crusaders" views of the
Dominion of Government, certain Commissioners being recalled to
London at crucially important times in context of the 2 deaths;
surveying work of the Labrador coast as well as letters from the
legendary Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell K.C., who was very angry with Sir
John Hope Simpson, but was that only about another matter?
