Looks like "H.E. Jurcht".

This auctioneer sold a painting with that signature in 2002 [lot 627].

I think the auctioneer has made a mistake. It seems to be a German-born fisherman/artist called Hans E Furcht (1929-2003). He lived in Victoria, British Columbia.

A brief obituary:
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.co...-11/1067961016

And from "Western Fisheries" 1965:
"..... local fisherman, Hans Furcht of the troller "Mic-Mac II", who is also an artist, has some of his work displayed at Standard Furniture Company in downtown Victoria. Hans has a number of paintings in good variety, including seascapes....."
