| Summary: | west a We still hear a good deal in these records about the bye-boat men -- the planters who brought out West Country servants. The late Hon. Stephen Rendell has often told me that even when he came to the Colony in 1834, hundreds of sturdy Devonshire lads came out every spring to Rowell's, Boden's, Bulley's, Mudge's, Job's, and many others on the South Side and in Hoyle's Town.and to Torbay, Bay Bulls, Petty Harbour, &c. All these 'youngsters' were shipped for two summers and a winter.
