This drawing is reproduced in Dartnell's "A brief narrative of the shipwreck of the 'Premier,' near the mouth of the river St. Lawrence, on the 4th November, 1843...," (London, 1845), p. 28. A passage in the narrative explains the incident depicted: "The buildings at Cape Chatte afforded such wretched and insufficient accommodation, that the commanding officer and I, a day or two after landing, visited St. Anne's - a somewhat larger fishing-village, nine miles east of Cape Chatte - in search of, further accommodation for the troops... The next moderate day, accordingly, the grenadier company, and the band, under Captain D and two other officers, sailed for St. Anne's with a fleet of fishing-boats, and soon established themselves in more comfortable quarters." (p. 27)., There is a small pencil sketch on the verso depicting a group of soldiers. This sketch is probably related to the drawing on the recto.
