We depart "Louie's Cove" as we named it, into the perfect mirror like stillness of the bay in Alison Sound. We are in search of a pictograph. Douglas Cruising Guide described. He failed to give specifics on the location. I perched myself on the bow with binoculars and camera in hand and we turn east on Belize Inlet.

It was a beautiful day about 75 degrees with pristine reflections in the water.
We continued up the inlet for 3 1/2 miles and decided to turn around in defeat. As we returned to the entrance to Alison Sound I spotted the familiar ochre color on the steep walls of the entrance from whence we came.

| This pictograph depicts the incident. Notice the square rigger, the smaller vessels with many oars and men in wide brim hats carrying rifles. Dolphins leap from the water. |
The inlet was first surveyed in 1865. It is recorded in Canadian History that in 1869 a government warship was dispatched to the area to put down a skirmish between the First Nations People and the whites.
