		Denman and Hornby islands offer visiting boaters a fine combination of protected moorages and anchorages, exquisitely beautiful vistas, pastoral lanes to explore on shore, networks of hiking trails, myriad reefs and what is arguably the finest beach within the Strait of Georgia, if not on the entire British Columbia coast.
		Hornby, the farthest southward of the two islands, offers the protection of a full-service marina located within a floating breakwater at Ford's Cove, on the southwestern side of the island.
		A local brochure about Denman Island and Hornby Island states the islands' residents are particularly proud and protective of the high quality of their rural lives and settings -- and well they might be.

	Untitled Document
		Hornby's ISED8 was the first English learner's dictionary that systematically introduced both coded verb patterns and the abbreviated grammatical codes C and U to represent countable and uncountable nouns respectively.
		Hornby's verb patterns consist of letters and numerals which are not user-friendly since the codes are neither transparent nor mnemonic.
		When its first edition appeared in 1978, the Longman team had extended Hornby's syntactic approach to the English lexicon to other parts of speech: they not only developed a new coding system for verbs, but also coded noun and adjective complementation which was a huge step ahead in EFL lexicography (Stein 1989: 26-27).

		Hornby is physically smaller than Denman (under 20 square miles in area) and oval shaped except for an arm which juts out to the east forming one side of magnificent Tribune Bay, which offers good swimming in comparatively warm water (some rate it as the finest sand beach in the Gulf Islands!).
		Hornby has a larger population than Denman, however, especially in the summer, partly due to its extensive beaches.
		Hornby has a remarkable community, perhaps due to its isolation, with an impressive island-wide recycling system an exceptional community hall, unmatched for architectural ingenuity, and a charming village center at the Island Co-op.

		As a result of this loss and that of the ship Catherine Adamson at North Head some 9 weeks later, the Government built the Hornby Light at the tip of South Head.
		James Johnson was eventually employed in Newcastle as the lighthouse keeper and on 12 July 1866, helped rescue the sole survivor from the Cawarra disaster at Newcastle.
		The loss of the fine passenger ship with that of the Catherine Adamson 9 weeks later on North Head, created enormous pressure for the locating of a lighthouse closer to South Head to mark the actual harbour entrance (Hornby Light).

		I have an etched diffraction grating of his, one of the most interesting individual uses of embossing that I’ve seen—a crude, blotchy, blobby drawing of the lighthouse on Hornby Island where he lived, as seen through a window.
		It looks like a monoprint, as if he’d printed onto a piece of clear thin transparent film in rainbow ink: the areas of the drawing remained as diffraction grating, and the rest of it was etched clear and see-though.
