the way—the voyage is new made with

aud a half days. Tbe^ditcomfort was
great. Hundreds of the paaseugert—
iuuu, n,iuuu ami children—unable to
secure berths or sleeping aecumntuda
iuuu, of auy kind, lay about on the
ducks and in tbe saloous iu the aban
don of despair and hopelessness. Ouly
a few escaped an attack of seasickness.
I was among the fortunate ones; having
voyaged imi.Ti iu youth I was seasoned
lo all conditions of weather.
I bad a stateroom iu whieh weie
three berths. Oue of tbese was occupied
by il 11. Wright, who afterwards rose
lo siniueuce ou the inaiulaml as a
pioneer merchant and road builder, lie
was a bright, energetic man at that
time, youug ami ehochfull of enterprise

and drank brandy from an earthen jug.

ami ii Tin lo his fund of auei'dole aud
adventure. Homeliinos he would make
us laugh immoderately aud at others
our bearla would be stirred wilb pity
as be related some patbetie story of his
early life.
About the Hfth day out a passenger
ii womau— died, ami ou lbe eveuiug
of the same day she wu buried at sea,
i':i|,ium III,iiht. reading Ihe funeral
service as tbe corpse, sewed iu canvas
and weighted wilh iron, was shot over
tbe side. I have ofleo wondered how
any of us escaped with our lives. Thc
condition of the ship was abominable;
Ibe water was bad, tbere was no attempt' at sanitation. The food was
wretched, and so the brandy iu Mr,
Liverpool's j g was at the ebbtide
mark loug before we sighted Cape Plat
tery.
On the .-Mill night tbe head wind stiffened to a lier.T gale, aud iu spite of
all we "iiilT do to reassure tbe wretched
people on board, many resigned themselves to tbeir fate and few eipected
lo aee laud agaiu. Tbat uigbt two
men, wbo bad eome aboard healthy and
strong, succumbed aod were buried at
sea Ihe oeit morning. Tbe afternoon
of the seventh day was bright - aod
warm. The wiud died away, tbe wa
tainted dowu and tbs steamer liegan to
make fairly good lime. The sirk people
gradually crawled from tbeir biding
places, looking wae ami wretched
enough, but loud in Ihe eipressiou of
Iheir (banks Ibat they bad come
through the tempest with their lives
Heated ou a steamer chair I presently
observed a youug woman of eighteen
or twenty years, wbo had struggled
from below. Hhe was pale aud this,
ami bore on ber late a look of wretch
edueae aud misery. I got Ihe impression
tbat when ia health sbe muat be very
pretty, aad I recall that sbe bad a
wealth of dark brown hair, a pair of
glorious bezel eyes aud regular features,
Hhe tat watching the guilt aa they rode
ou tbe create of Iba billows, and I
thought I bad never seen a prattler
pictart. I waa tempted to apeak to ber,
but as I was on tbe point of advancing
i buriy ligure puthed by me aod, ad
dressing the girl, engaged bar in eon
vrrtatiou. Tktir tone waa low, but
tbey teemed to he acquainted. Wr.
Liverpool, for it was be wbo bad put
my amatory "«o*e oot of joint," bung
about bar till bed time. When Liverpool patted ne on tbe way to bla state-
roots, I rallied bin aa ho bia pretty ac
quaintance, •"'
"tat," f»i<J>* "the is pretty. Her
nana Is Baadford-Miee Bradford. Hhe
it vary unfortunate. Her mother was
tks lady wbn died ami was hurled tks
other dty, and she is alone i« tba world.
I knew them tn Han Francisco. Tks
mother kept a boarding-house. They
were on their mpy tn open a boarding
house in Victoria, but nf course tbat is
all over now and tbe wili have to go
back."
The neit moruiug I was early ou deck
and there tat Ike pretty girl witk Ihe
natal eyet again watching tha guila aa
Ibey skimmed over the surface of tbe
waves. Tbe morning waa warm and
pleasant, the lead was in tight, and Iba
assurance of tbe captain tbat neit day
we ibould be at Hsquimait brought
the color to many pallid cheeks and
the luatre to mauy dull eyet. At tbit
momeut Hluane, advancing wilb difficulty along tbe crowded deck, reacked tba
girl. Ile beb| in one band a cup of tea
ami iu the other a plate ou which were
au orange ami some biscuits. Aa be
was about tu baud the articles to tbe
girl, Liverpool, who was standing uear,
grasped the cup ami plate aud himself
handed them tu Uiss Bradford. The
girl never looked at Liverpool, but the
flashed ber beautiful orba full in
Hloane's face, and thanked bim in a
low, sweet voice. Hloaue, who seemed
somewhat disconcerted at Liverpool's
mii ihi,in,', In.iiinii',I a moment aud
tben walked to where Wright aud 1
were watehiug eveuts.
"You seem," said i, "lo be makiug
progress in that direction."
"Well, you see," be replied, "I wat
up at dawn, and you know Ibe tayiug
about the early bird, etc. 1 have had
a long talk wilh her. Hineo her motber
is dead she haa uo friends left eicept
a brother al Hau Frauciaco aud she
inlliui', lo go back by Ibis very boat.
Hhe has uo money either. It wat all
in her mother's purse, and wheu she
died nu.uuv and purse disappeared—
stolen by some miscreant. Hhe is vury
intelligent, very sweet, aud, ohl of
such u grateful ami mull,ling nature.
Hhe lold me everything about herself
ami I know all about her ami her be
longings."
"Have a rare," said Wright. "Uy
experience of steamboat eci|uaiutaucei
is rather unfavorable.' '
"My dear fellow," rejoined Hloaue,
"Ibere are acquaintances ami acquaint
iiinT.1. This girl is as good as gold.
What do you sayi Lei's start a sub
scriptiou for her. I '11 give twenty dol
lars,''
The idea was adopted, and iu about
leu minutes Hloaue was uu his way
back to tbe girl wilh a considerable
uuiu - I iiiiiii. about one huudred del
lars. I accompanied bim. Liverpool
stood behind tbu girl's ebair, convert
iug wilb her iu a low toue.
"Miss Bradford," began Hloaue,
speaking very low, blushing like a
schoolboy the while, "I havt brought
you a small sum as a loan from a few
of your fellow passeugers. You can re
pu) |t at your leisure."
He wae about lo place the coin ia
the girl's outstretched baud when
Liverpool wrenched tbe mousy from
hit gnsp ami toesed it overboard.
"Inul, bere!" he exclaimed, "Ibii
girl is mil a beggar, and if she slauds
in need of mouey I have enough for
both."
Hloaue was speechless with indigua
tiou.   Ilis eyes bla/ed wilh auger. "You
d d cad," be began, and Ihen recol
leeting hiluself he paused aud bit hia
lip."
"Oo on," aaid Liverpool; "I'm lit
teniug.''
Miss Bradford," uid Hloane, igaor
Ing Liverpool, "do you coouteueuce—
do you approve of Ibis man's conduct t'
I looked at tbe youug woman. Her
fare had assumed au atben hue; ber
lips were colorlett and ber beautiful
eyet were (lied wilh tears. Hhe half
rose and then tank back and seemed
about lo faint.
Hloane still beid tbe reins of bis pas
tion and refuted to bit it get away
with him, but be wu livid witb repressed rage.
"Ito y.u," be at lut managed to say
to Mitt Bradford, "do you approve of

or to tay wbat you iball or iball not

Tbe girl rose from lb. chair and wu
about to reply when Liverpool't right

staggered, but ba did not fall. Ia an

but 1 feared if tbe two men came together again there would be a tragic
outcome. We walked lo Victoria lu
tba afternoon and found the town
eruwded wltb gold-seekers. Hnusos

covered with ml tiers' tents. There must

Tbo proposition thai an observutory
for purposes uf astrunomical resuurelt
be established ul the top of Grouse
inunuiiiiii euutiot be said tu bu new,
inasmuch as it was submittuil lo tlte
- locul Board of Trade as early us the
year 11106. The project has been befure
the public intermittently since ..lattime
und those who havo interested i hem, el
ies more iniini.in li in its promotion
huvo had the satisfaction of noting
steady progress iiinm,li- the goal of
thoir endeavors until at the prescnl
time there are most encouraging null
cations that an observatory at that
point will become un accomplished fact
in due course.
The scheme has been strongly eudors
ed by the 1). C. Acudemy of Science,
it has received decisive commeiiiluliun
at the bands of Mr. K, V. Btupsrl, Director et the Dominion Meteorological
Service, Dr. Otto KloU, ussistant chief
attrouomer Domiuion observatory at
llltuwu, and utliers ul' mure ur less experience uiul prominence iu the held
uf u 11"i.uu i research.
Am,mi: the lucul advocates ol the
movement, there is none mure able or
more enthusiastic Ihun Mr. T. ■'- ll
Hliearinun, resident Duminioii uslruii
inner uud director of the Vuneniiver
.Meteurulogicttl station who hus been
indefatigable in his efforts to bring the
matter to successful conclusion. Mr. j
Mheurniun hus undertaken to provide j
the Newtooian Ki|iiati>rial telescope
measuring in diameter one hundred und
twenty inches. Tlie magnitude uf the
lusl: which Mr. Hhcurmnu bus set for
himself will be understood when it is
slated Ihut the lurgest instrument
present in use anywhere iu the world
is Ilinl of the telescope al Hie ob
serial ory of Lord llosse in Ireland
whicii measures seventy two iuches iu
diameter, due lens of one hundred
in. lies is ill exislenee but it is uot per
lut uud ii is extremely duubtiul if
lhe defects can in remedied. Mr.
Slicurmnii huwever is quite sanguine of
Ins ability lu produce an instrument
with the ijiaineter named, thus giviug
the Grouse M,u,1.1,m, observatory tbe
distinction of possessing the mi: I
powerful telescope iu Ihe world.
Those who have inspected the pro
posed sile declare that from a seien
nlie poiut of view it answers admir
uldy ull of Hie requirements uf tu ob
servalory site. As fur elevation the
I.iii, observatory is MOO feel above seu
level while the Grouse Mountain intti
I.iiiiiii will be slightly higher. The uf
im,spin in uml other couditiom are pro
tiouuecd entirely suitable for the pur
pose. From Hie jmldu' puitlt of view
uu observatory al the lop of Grouse
Mountain wuubl be an institution ul
the most attractive nature. The eon
stiiietiou of Hie (liouse Mountain Seen
i, I mime Itailwuy would render Hie
uliM-f vutory readily , accessible to thu
geueral public ul ull limes. According
lu lhe pluns ul present in mind u uuiu
ber of smaller telescopes v.n.,1.1 be In
stalled through which visitors mighl
view the heavenly bodies at any lime,
while the greal telescope would be mude
available lu visitors at ceilain hours on
staled evenings The scheme is, Ihere
fore, oue of the very highest value
lelulive to the local public and Ihe
louritl imiii.
II is a pari ol Ihc scheme lo ulli
bale tbe observatory wilh Ibe provincial university, in which case nol only
wuuld Ibe great telescope provide op
porluuily for suy students who might
wiib lo pursue astronomical research,
I ut a department would likewise be
added which would be of lhe greatest
service in connection with the engineer
iug elasses iu the innverslly.
The friends of Hie project consider
that Ihe protpeeta are very bright fur
enlisting Ihe co-opcraliou of both Ihi
In,nuni'.n atld Ihe provincial govern
mint" in it'i prion,,lum They are like
wise iu consultation with Hie Hoard
of Director! of Grouie Mountain Heen
Incline Bailway Company from whom
Ihe leucine bai met wilh a very favor

It ii unnecessary to dilate upon the
value to tha Nortb Shore of tucb an institution located pn Grouie Mountain.
Tba ail* of any obaervatory of even

SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN
The  many   thuusunds  of   boys  aud
girls   whu   assembled   in   the   public
■ lm.,l., of Iho proviuee yesterday for
the opening sessions uf tho autumu
term aro lu be eungratulatod ou the
advantageous conditions under which
they are privileged to work, iu the at
luiumeiit of a knowledge of the fundamental subjects iu idu,allun lt is
only a just tribute to lhe intelligence
uf thoso boys and girls to believe lhal
Ihey duly appreciate the fortunate position iu whieb they aro placed iu this
important particular. It is au errur to
conclude that (he average buy or girl
wends bis ur her way to school for lbe
lirst sessiou after the summer holidays
wilh u heavy heart carrying uuly vain
regrets for the vacation thai is gone.
This may indeed be Irue uf a very
smull fraction who uru beluw Ihe uver
uge iu physical robustness or iu mentul
staiuiua, but the iniiinal boy or ;.nl
while doubtless bidding "good old sum
niertime" goodbye with loud memories
—finds reul pleasure in reusseuiblinu
wilh his schoolmates on the schooi
grounds, he greets his teacher uguin
witn ulITilinn (or lakes his pluee in
u higher cluss with sutisfaetionj and
addresses himself cheerfully to the stu
dies which confront him, To depict
Hie average Hrilish Columbian boy ot
girl us contemplating with aversion
lhe returu to his or her studies is u re
Hcchon upuu the intelligence and the
industry of the children which is al
together unjustifiable, ll is much uear
el llie murk to believe lliut while the
iiuruiul child loves lo play, that child
likewise appreciates the efforts of his
r her parents ami of Ihe state to pro
vide "i,,, iiiiuu.il facilities such as will
lit lhe buy or girl to fill u creditable
positiou wheu the estate of manhood
or of v.,,iminiiuii,I has beeu attained
and lhal he or she is prepared lo sec
ond Ihu , it,nt-. made ou his or her be
bulf by earnest effort lo profit by Ihe
iidvuiiluges provided.
'Work while you wurk,
And pluy while yuu play,
Thul is the way
Tu be lm|,| '. and gay"
so runs Hie fumiliur couplet and it is
permissible In believe Ihut the rank
uud lile of scbool children today are
ryatallixing that excellent precept in
lu practice.
The   boys  and   girls   of   the   North
Sboro have nttuiucd u degree of sue
ess ul llle several ciumiuutiuns which
is positive evidence of the excellence
of the loilioo which is given them ami
of their readiness to respond lo lhal
luilmn by Holiest uud industrious efforl
iheir pari. A combination such as
this is bound lo win and all well wish
ers uf the chiblreu will hupe fur even
belter iinni' from tbem iu thc future
The greatest asset uf any community,
after all, is found in the wealth of
healthy, normal boys and girlt, play
tug with u will aud working hard, build
ng up strong bodies tod well equip
ped iniiuii for filling thc poiitiont in
the community aud for discharging Ihe
ii-p"inii,ibtn ■ iu life which must in
due course ftll to Ibeir lul.
So "Here's lu yuu" boys and girls,
go in and win.

The life uf a hunter is thu ideal life
for an Eskimo. It is thu life he ia
especially gifted fur; tho raw (aeai's)
incut he ells keeps liim ht ami well,
lu tho.nurlh tbu peoplo aro broad
uml plump, with liat facea and supkou
nuaos; but fttrlhor aouth, lean sharp
faced, bony limbs, pointed noaes,
tlioiigh pure Id,1.1.1.-.I i::.I,nn,,.,. The
cuusc of the change lies iu thc altered
fund uud habits uf the poople. Thuy
Iako to garments of cloth instead uf
seal -skin, they eat less of raw meat
uml blubber, uml muro uf bread, tea
ami cooked meals uf tbe settlers—aud
Nature rebels. Tho Suiilhern Eskimo
aro less hardy, Ihey cannot bear tbe
cold ao well, but need more lire, mure
clothing, arc puny. If Ibey give up
Iheir native fooda Ihey will dwindle
uml dio oul.
We entirely agroo wilh him, and are
therefore tho more surprised to liud
thai he approves of the ititroductiou
mining them of European fooda, such
us tea, bread, bacon| uf wooden, liuul

and ever gruiuuphoucs, uml yet strange

A Village Tailor

show:
"Bv wise in lime, and wear Eskituu
clothes," wua Ihe advice of a litis
sionary, whn said he would arrange
iiniM, i Inr mc; accordingly, tho ullage
tailor, * sipiurc faced brisk little Ks-
l-iiiui woman, came iu otic day like a
miniiiiiii,' hurricane, There was iio
awe, no uloofuesl about her, she stood
me up, aud looked at mc, aud mcai
ured in. wilh her arms, aud walked
oul aaltallcd. "A bit taller lhan my
husband, und nol so fat"—was ber
Comment, uml the outcome of il all
waa that after a few days she turned
up again with a big bundle and I fouud
myself the possessor uf a "dickey"
iblanket smock; ami a complete suil
of seal sklus, aud all fur the outlay
of a modest sum, for tbe good women's
excellent   needlework.
How Drink Wai Out Out
The author has a guod deal In re
late concerning the moral excellence
of tbe Eskimos. Thus he tells us;
The Drink Evil began In HOT. Seven! men got drunk. The ciders called
a meeling of tbe men. "This now ha
bit ia bad," Incy said, "il will ruin
the people; let us cast il out,"
And cast it out tbey did.
"Kajusimavil'j" tbey said, "tbo
iniu.l of Ihe people is made up Hie
brewing and driukiug must cease." The
evil was abolished; and so by Ibeir owu
wish Ihc Eskimos became wbat they
bad always deen, a teetotal nation."
As is well kuown, Ibis peopls have
no prisons and no police, serious crime
being virtually not) eilsteot, while jn
their daily life Ibey show themselves
kiuilly, courageous aud capable, when
uted arises of supreme self sscriAee.
