Helmcken House Historic Site,

On his voyage to York factory, Dr. Helmcken learned the card game Whist, to later become a much enjoyed pass time: "Chief Factor Hargrave and Mrs. Hargrave and nurse were passengers also - so the Captain and the above and I had a rubber of whist every night, when possible. I knew nothing about whist, but they broke me in and account was kept of the games with the debt and so forth! At the end of the journey, I had only four shillings to pay!"
John Helmcken (BCARS: ADD.MSS.505, V.12)
