I thinK, wlien we sailed fMHii San Francisco. The port being »a- known. no charter had heen puiblls|c|, although a .survey had Tieen made fJi^t summer. Captain Stamp kindly 'fnf- nished me with e chart, it being; the first Chan used hy the first merchant ship entering the port of Alberni to load a cargo. Alter a pleasant pa-ssage ife arrived off Csjpe Barclay late one afi<f- noon Mr. Banfleld. the Indian age«t. was to be on hand to pilot the ship up the Sound. Seeing nothing of him. and the tide being at the trt^b; I con eluded to haul off shorp for the night, a'n"d h/'tho inornlng proceeaed to^niu the entrance of the .Sound. Picking up Mr Banftelrl, the pilot, we sail-^d up the .sound as far as the llrst anchorage, a small sandy spot near the right hand side of the Sound, with hardly room for the ship to swing at her anchors.

The pilot lenvlng. 1 was obliged to de- pend' upon myself and the chart. The following day we got under w.ay on the nood tide and by backing and filling, pro- ceeded up the Sound. The wind being baffling as we came down the Sound and no anchorage being In sight, we made a hawser fast to a tree, dropped a hedge anchor out in the channel In 7- fathoms of water, and swung along- side the precipitous bank, where, after putting out fenders, we lay very safe. While ivlng there the ship was being painted.' and one of the crew painted the ship's, n^me. "Pocahontas." on the rock It Is now known a« "Pocahontas T.nciz," ar.d •" «" inacrHbed on the puh- Ushed f'hart of the Sound.

"The following day. the wind proving favorable, we proceeded up to Alberni anchoring in 7 fathoms of water, which was our loading berth. ,,,„,„

Alberni at that time consisted of a store, shipyard (where a vessel wa.s in nrocesB of building), a blacksmith shop. a sawmill, lodging house and a «w other buildings of the plainest kind.

The Indians were very much excited at the appearance of the ship, and came alongside In their canoes. Coming on board and lying down they measured the length of the deck, toy their own length, from stem to stern. They th.n measured the outside length by their canon.-. With exclamations of astonish- ment they pronounced her a -hi you canoe."

Captain Stamp camo on board and gave us a hearty welcome, performing his duties es collector of the port of Alberni. A few days after our arrival th^ American ship Vlsula arrived to load a cargo for Valparaiso, followed by the American ship 'Thomas A. fotone. also to load for Valparaiso. ,, ^ ^ ^l-

The next arrival was an English barK to load for Australia. Altogether mak- ing iiuite a busy fleet.

Our cargo, consisting of very large roars for the English and French navies, ^me alongside In rafts and was cut from a large grove of towering trees lo-a»cd on th* left bank of a creek which emptied 4nto the ^"""''/^""^J mile or more above the so-called village, captain Stamp was an admira.b.e ..ob. lodged «8 he was In a room above the store He was collector of the port iustice of the peace, governor and all tie authority needed within the domain

of Alberni. .

The vessel .that wa. being hul It at that place was a schooner of about 200 on burden. Intended for trade to he various ports around the Island and the united Statos. She was launched .,ust before we sailed.

Too Pond of Enifllsh Vtv::N.VA, Feb. 18. — The Wiener Jour- nal calls German Crown Prince to task for his pro-American and pro-English j tendencies. The prince Is spending a j holiday at Colerlna. Switzerland where . It Is alleged he speaks English almost j entirely, disregarding the efforts which j patriotic Germans have been making for ytars to GermanUe the language of that part.

The Journal says: "The crown prince's habit of ignoring German so- ciety and his preference for EngUsli.,«or American company is nothing less than ins^ulting. He avoids Germans pur- posely, even the aristocrats, It Is in- comprehensible that no one In the prince's suite should have sufflcient taste and tact to tell him of the pain caused by his conduct."

AND WOMAN'S ILLS

Only through good digestion can food be changed into flesh and blood, bone, nerve-tissue and brain. In "o other way can the daily wear of bodily c„h«tar.rp be repaired, decay arrested and life sustained. To have sound digestion, vigour, vitality, health, your stomach must be healthy and able to digest food perfectly. _

When your stomach is out of order, whether from loss of tone, changes in the weather, overwork, worry, or errors in diet; when your liver and bowels also refuse to work steadily, noth- ing so soon corrects and invigorates the digestive system, re- storing it to healthy, normal action, as the herbal tonic— Mother Seigel's Syrup. The symptoms of digestive disorders are manv. They include: Pains in the chest and back, after meals ; pains, wind, or a sense of fulness in the stomach ; vomiting— sometimes of food which the weakened stomach rejects, or of a sour, watery fluid; giddiness, palpitation,

heartburn, headaches, languor, depres- sion of spirits, costiveness, anaemia. Manv other distressing troubles, includ- ing ailments peculiar to women are often due to the failure of the stomach, liver

and bowels to do

THE SURE CURE

THE HERBAL TONIC

Tn all such cases, Mother Seigel s Syrup i^ sure to do good. It is made of medicinal extracts of certain roots, leaves and barks which tone and strengthen the stomach, and stimulate the liver and bowels to healthy action. Thus it aids digestion, makes food nourish you, purifies your blood and gives you the vigour and tone of good health. Mrs. James Robinson, Ruth. Manitoba, writes: ^1 suiiered frn.li pain;^ after eating. However light the meal, I often felt like vomiting. I had giddiness, and wind in the stomach that seemed to press against my heart, making it beat violently. ' Headaches were frequent, and I could seldom sleep.

Replying to nunierot;s Inquiries as to the plans for the utilization of liie Soiighces reserve for railway terminal purposes and the route by ^which the Canadian Northern wilt enter Victoria, \> p may say that our information Is to the effect that no decision has yet been reached on either of these points.

It is a fine. 81 aclous harbor, and there Is a good deal of land .suitable for .settlement that will be tributary to a railway torralnus there. Such full reference has" already been made In these columns to the char- acter of the northern part of Vancouver Inland thai it in unnecessary to sa\- mere upon the subject today. As a sca-

Tlio decision of the Canadian Pacific lo use oil-burning locomotives in this province ic tins, in interest from the fol- lowlnar, whljb me take from the Ottawa Journal: "Dr. Fernow, dean of the Faculty of F'orestry in Toronto L'ni- ver."sity, at present attending the For- estry Convention In this city, urges oil as a fuel for Canadian locomotives, in

nailw.iy charter authorizes the conhtnio tloi; of a railway from Victoria to Kd

and I will guarantee tnat It shall not be interfered with." That would be too absurd, and being absurd it com- idetely desti'oys the whole effect of .Mr. Brewster's speech, for It shows that he was seeking only to make political capital. The latter p.nrl of his resolution is a mere waste of words for It means nothing more than what Air Borden has promised already.

MB. OZ.XTEX A8TXAT

.Mr. John Oliver tol'l a meeting of Liberals the other night tliat Mr. .Mc- Bride had ."aid that the railway being constructed on Vancouver Island by the Canadian Northern would have no grades higher than four- fifths of one percent. Mr. Oliver ia at, fault cither as to his memory or his veracity, and we prefer to suppose it to be the for- mer. Mr. McBrkle -nas never guilty of the absurdity of saying that a rail- way that had not yet been surveyed could cross Vancouver Island on .such a grade, and no one, having any knowl- edge whatever of the country, would venture upon the statement that a railway eonld be built from Victoria to Barklcy Sound on any such grade. Mr. McBrlde did speak of grades not exceeding fetir-flfths of one percent, but he was then referring to the main- land division of the Canadian North- em Pacific, on which sur\cys had at the time proceeded sufficiently far to warrant the assertion made by him.

The former representative of Delta. speaking of railway construction on this island, said that the road was beinjf built by the Canadian Northern Construction Company. To this state- ment Bcveral exceptions can be taken, but perhaps one wUl be sufficient, nam«ly that there Is no Canadian X^wtliero Conatructlon Comp»ny. There tfl a Northern Constructloo company, which Is doing a part of th« railway bulidint on «»• mllnland, but It Is not. •a Itr. Oliver aTleced. A Bubsldlary con- cern to the railway company.

A number of ladles walled upon Mr. lirirden a.-skins: for legislation to prevent the manufacfure ind sale of rlBaroitcp. Tiie Prime .Mini.-'K-r promised to t.ikc tie matter under '•onslderatloii. li seomH to be jcencrall> admittfd that i iffnretle smoklnar is injurious to younc people, r.r.d If It could be prevented by legisla- tion, we would Ilk,; to see the nece-,jary !aws. placed jpon the itatute liook; but we fear that as long as tobacco is sold, people, young or old. who dealra to umokc cigarettes will do so. This ram- pplgn against cigarette smoking begins in the wrong place. It ought to begin nr home. St. Paul somewh'>rc says that "the law Is a schoolmaster," but we have n.' authDrlty for i^aylns that the law is a parent. If, madam, you do not wish >our boy, and unfortunately It seems to be necesnary also to say your rlrl. to be- come addicted to cigarette smoking, do no: go to Parliament In the first Instance for help, but establish yiaur Influence v.".th your young people, so that they will accept your ad\lce. AVe do not think thxt legislative efforts to check cigarette hnioklng have be«n so successful else- where as to encourage very much the adoption of such a policy In the Domln- 1cm. May w* be permitted to add that. cince women have identified themselves with work for noral reform, there has" been a disposition to expect too much fromthe enactment of statutes, and that some signs Of ne(l«6t to make use of personal Influence U that direction arc observable.

timber were constant; the cause of I hem were seldoiv, traced. Some years ago the railway adopted oil as a fuel. The forest fl^res In that section prac- tlcallj- stopped. The Adirondack case is worth hearing In mind In Canada. Cuuld not the Hall^a^^ Commission per-tuuile the big railways to make really thorough experiments as to whether oil can not be generally used as a locomotive fuel?" We hope all the railway companies in Brttl.sh Col- umlda will follow the example of the piimeer line.

"Dreamland" is the Ottawa Journal's new name for 'the senate.

There is a word that is being very much o\erworked nowadays. It got the I^aurler government into some llti- i^gatlon with the tJrand Trunk Pacific that will cost Canada some JIO.OOO.OOO. Our friends over In the legislature use It. We. hear It dally In conversation. It is the word "implement," that is the verb, not the noun. It is often used ».-> if It waa synon>mous with "supple- ment," that is, as if It meant something in addition to something else, but this is nut its meaning. It really means to ! satisfy conditions or a contract or a I policy, or to complete a policy by ac- tion, or to provide means for ac- complishing something. According to the contention of the Laurier govern- ment the word "implement," used in a contract with the Canadian Pacific, meant the same as "supplement." The railway company contended that It meant what the dictionary says it means, and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has held that the company was right. The moral seems to be that it Is better not to "^'prk a good word to death. A second moral Is that It Is well m framing legislation to say Just what you mean and not em- ploy words about whose meaning Uter«i may be a miaapprehansfon. If the draftsman nf the G. T.

If Mr. Borden's assurance had already been given and he was the upright man -the premier would have them believe, the re.-solutlon was unnecessary. It' ho was a wobbling politlcUn and ready to go ba«k on bis word, they might express an opinion, but they had not yet had sumclent ex- perience of Bordenlsnt to know what ihe was.

Hon. Mr. McBride. said .that In the speeches of the members for Alberni arid Newcastle "thfcre had been .some harsh reVorences to the position of Mr. Borden in this matter, and for that rea- son he would like to say a few words. He would not dwell at length on the ob- servations of his friends with respect to the motives that prompted the res- olution. He looked for nothing else from them. Tliey heard the old Indict- ment that this was a political move. \VeU, "for nine years pa!?t they had not attempted to do anything for the good of the province that was not designat- ed by his friends opposite us a polltlc.al move pure and shnple.

seemed peculiar to this province and to the Conservative party. Well, the res- olution was not drawn to please his friends oDDoslte; It was produced simply for publlo business on a question on which the government intended to pur- sue an advocacy that they believed to he In the l^est Interests of British Tol- umbla and the entire Dominion of Can- ada. Hi-a could already say that they had obtained from the Conservative gov- ernment at Ottawa in five months more tangible consideration than they had ob- tained from the Liberal party In fifteen years. (Applause.) For the first time ihey had a promise that the claims of British Columbia would be taken in hand, w.hen the federal authorities dealt with the new treaty with .Japan. Be- cause Mr. Borden, during the short time he had been in office had not been able to do everything with the fiash of a pen, was no reason why they should be- come Impailent and begin to criticise.

He would have expected from the member for Newcastle a different stand than he had taken. He had al- ways potted as the friend of the vvhlto worklngman, though he (the Premier) wa.s sk.-'ptlcal about, that soTnetimPs, as it would really seem that he wati' more (»nxl..iiR about retaining the constit- uency of Newcastle than nnything else, lie could remember the time when that K<ntleman would not have touched anything Liberal with a ten foot pole, but now he seemed bound to second nnytliing and everything that the mem'ber for Alberni might see fit to bring in, though presently they would see him rise In hlft place to explain that he only did, it from moral con- siderations. He (the premier^ was rather inclined to think that his words uttered the other day were taking ef- fect, when he spoke of the. member for Alhernl and the member for Newcastle drawing closer together, and the day was not far distant when they would see. him bloom out as a fuil-blown l^iberal, and he would make a very good one at that.

Xow. Instead of discusslnir the ques- ttlOn a« a Socialist, he appeared an the ■^apologist tor Sir Wilfrid Laurler. In fact the member for Alberni had not gon« half so far in explaining away Sir Wilfrid Laurler'B position, his

question. This latter word had ed to disturb his friend from Al- b#¥il very much. P'rom that position ih* could not recede. It was tmpoBBlhle to reconcile Sir Wilfrid's altltud. for fifteen vears with hl.<! promJie to th« •lectors" of B. C. In 1906. Before leav-

WMnts Plant in Xsadlnsss — Complaint was made yesterday by Mr. Page, sec- retary of the Vancouver Island Fire Underwriters' Association, to Mayor Beckwlth asalnst the proposed shutting down of the steam plant at the city's electric lighting station in consequence of the operation of the .lordan river power plant. Mr. Page pointed out that heretofore, while the city h&s been oper- allng the salt water high pressure pumps by electricity from the B. C. Electric Company's power station on Store street yet the steam plant waa always kept In readiness In case anything went wrong with the electric power supply. The proposal to close down the steam plant now that the Jordan river plant Is oper- ating would b» dangerous, as the trans- mission line from the latter runs through the mill district, and in case of a large fire there would probably be put out of commission, and the steam plant would have to be placed In oper- ation. Thlsi If steam wwe not up, wnuiii fkM from half an hour to an hour andi the dslay might have very serlfiUa reutlta. If >t waa deemed adrlaable to have the steam plant Jn readiness when puwer was being secured from the com- pan/a atation on Store street such prt- pattitlon l8 equally necesairy now tl^t pcwer ta being brought In from Jor<^h vlvtr.

ular niuntli'.y ineetinK or the Jubilee hospital board lield last evening, Mrs. Charles Rhodes, one of the directors, notified tlie board that the Liadles' Auxiliary waa very anxious to start a campaign to raise funds to build a new hospital. They proposed to follow the lines employed In the recent coiiection for the Y.M.C.A, and to spend at least ten days in tovyn. She pointed out that at least twelve »ew rooms were needed at once, and that would-be patients were heinR turned away every day. She aI.so r>>ferred to the fact that In the .small, town of Nelson the sum of $.15,- 000 had recently been raised for a hos- pital* while an additional $5000 has yet to come in. After considerable discus- sion it was moved by Mr. J. A. Mara and seconded by Mr. Lelser riiat the ladles should have the privilege > of lay- before the board a propagonda for rais- ing funds for the new hospital which should he duly considered by the board. The resignatlun of the m.inasinsr secre- tary, Mr. Morton, was handed in to the board, and after some discussion it was accepted with regret. Mr. Morton has occupied that position for the past two and a half years. Amon^f other matters that came up was thut of the extension of the lease to the Victoria Cricket cl\ih. the report of the house committee and tHot of the matron. During the past month IflO patients were admitted. 93 d;.«(CharKed nnd ISO trented. Various donations in money or kind were also reported.

A Rarsh Critic

In the University MBga^ine, there is an- article on the Uncomplete .\ngelB' by Jacob Salvlris, which will not plca.se Canadian women. It is a comparison be- tween the women of this country and of those of tile mother land and it is certainly not calculated to Increase our Self-complacence. Thewrttcur lias not chosen to coneliler the great mass of the women of Ciinada, He ha.*? not visited the farmhouses, or even mingled wltlj the groups of young women who spend tlietr days in otllces or workshops or factories ifi the cities. He does not :.sueak of -ceUegs giris. OT: o£;ttMm^ Eiisters, the teachers who take an* im- portnnt If not a conspicuous place in Canadian life. Jacob Salvirls has gleaned his knowledge of Canadian women from the drawing rooms of tlie "more or less well-to-do portions of the eoinmtinily," and one Is tempted to think his ae- uuaintance has not 'been as extensive even In the larger towfls and cities a? he wo\il»l have us believe. ' How mu(;!i truth Is there In the following para- graph?

"In fact I am Inclined to venture upon tlu.' generailxatlon that the two -virtues in which the average Canadian woman is most signally il«>f!Uient arc industry and the power of admiration. She can only JjQ arouseri to some .<!imulKtlon of the former quality by the desire of em- ulating some wealthier- sister in the trealion of w-hatare happily termed • TuR.sy notions," in devising, for exam- ide, a "woman'.s lunch," at which the table-iiapklns shall look like miniature umbrellas, the ice cream take the form of trees In pots, and every other item of the feast assume as Incongruou's a le.Memblanee to Homelliing else as the .•idaptahillly of matter will admit. . The Canadian woman does seem to mo decidedly more childish tlmn the Euro- peari."he"r mitlook is too" often that OT an iindiseipilned and spoilt child, or perhaps It would be rnore correct ' to say, an undisciplined and spoilt .vouth, for she has none of the child's lovtf of qnes^tloning and <-apaclty for serious- ness. .Admiration, hope, and love, the vital faetiltles, If we are to b^li'^ve Wordsworth, of oui* human nature, arc undeveloped in her. .She is frivolous Hcni tieni'iiie, rtw ftlViiOiis peo|M»? always must he, with narrow precise views ui>on such matters as slie has any vlfA^■s \ipon at nil. In u .sense, of course, she is practical, if by that epithet one Im- plies only an aptitude for what Is bound- ed on all sides by physical boundarle.«i. .She can appraise anytliing in dollars and nothing at it.'s true value. Kike many sliort-slKhted peojile, she sees witli such exactness in a .small eircle that she is blind to all the outside wonder.s of the world; she notices clothes, jewel.'-, furs, piiyslcal beauty; moods, feeling."!, tlionghts. and the l)eaiily of llif spirit lire for her non- existent. Her pleasure is In the things that <'an be touched and tasted and l-.andled, and she has no revprencp for any others. On the other hand, how- ever, this practical strain of h»>rs un- doiihtedly, has Its good side. Mhe can generally turn Iter hand to any ynavold- able drudgery wltii much greater effect than her Knglish counterpart; at any rate the incaiiaeily to perform such hHJUpehold tasks if not regarded as hu asset in th.' newer country, as It still Is more or less. In the old, and if she e,^nnol rival Imogen In her neat cookery and laborsome and dainty trims, yet she does not feel that the opening of the front door or the laying of a fire i.nvolves any insupportable loa>! of dig- nity."

What Mr. Keynolds saya about the kind of amusement the churcheA should offer, would in a former gt-neratlon liave shocked many good people. In these days a more enlightened and tol- erant spirit prevails. When he was asked "How about the city church?" Mr. Reynolds rep.licd:

and thus keep them ,.: . i street, out of the saloons,, and under good Influ- ences, but many of them fail to supply any adequate social life for their young ' people. In such entertainment as th(;y offer to young people the two sexes are cajrefully segregated.

Tliere is much el.«o In the aitjlole that those who love their sister women, would like to question. Society women It is averred, do not read, do not sew. do not think. Tliey dress, gossip and talk about their ailments and their clothes. "Immaculate and personable as they arc, they are ycl a trifle apt to look all alike, as if the range of ex- pression on their faces were kept within as narrow limits as that of the Ideas In their heads. One sees woman after ^*"^zi^T '*v*th l'^£ ?^n^ TT^?**th ?."<^ ^y^"^ and- the same sleek look of physical prosperity."

Again. "The arlatooratic virtues, gen- tleness, generosity, patience, fortitude, leticencc and a dcllcatn c:on3ldt:rtt|ilon

I..overs of art in the United States j have set on foot a plan by which peo- ple who cannot travel and who have not the means to buy pictures for them- ; selves may see the works of the mast- j ers. The scheme is to form one art j centre and to establish a circuit of j exhibitions. The suggestion came from j .John W. .-Mexander, president of the ; Academy of r>esi>cii in Txew TiirK. Ae- i cording to the <njtlook there Is alrendy | a circuit and the people of Bo.ston, I Buffalo. I^lltslnirg. IMilladelplila, St. I lyouis and Chicago have tlie privilege of seeing the samo pictures T]u> proposal I is to show in these cities the really fine j pictures of American artists. Mr. Alex- ander thinks it would he quite pofi.«ihle to extend the scheme so as to embrace every city In the e<nintry. This Is a case In which Canadians can afford to •Imitate tholr neighbors and ask to share in a project which will not only give great pleasure but contribute to tlie culture of the )>eople. We have In Canada a few painters of idctures who are acknowledged to be artists by the r:uropeaii erlties. But It lb not to bt- supposed that should sucli an enterprise be set on foot the exiilliltlon would long be confined to continental mastei- plcces. In these ds.vs of safe and rapid travel pictures from the galleries of* I'^urope can be sent across oceans and continents almost a.M safely as they are kept at home. In our own province there are many wealthy men and women. Could money he used for a better pur- po.se than to foster among the people a love of the beautifiil? If, in tlie cities of our grand province, a masterpK^e coiild be seen by the public nt intervals, what encouragement would be given to those who, in spite of distance from art centres and many other discourage- ments strive to represent the bPButles they pee on every hand. Ciulte as Im- l)ortant would be the effect in awaken- ing a true appreciation of art among the many who have not hitherto had an op- portunity of seeing the work of any great painters.

Ov«r 8.200 spectators wlt- 'm-ssed the match, which was but the second time "this seqison Victoria, hats ' been defeated on local U-e. r^TJctoiTirr downfall camp in the li«."i period, when the hard work of the two lormer sessions began to tell. West- minster on Uie contrary seemed to im- TTOve. even ETrnle Johnson, who up to thU,Jtlme.Jiad not been able to hold his feet.^ and who was not playing his usual game. But his team mates made up for ai; weaknesses In the final ses.sion, and all that had been lacking was crowded into one period that won the game.

As for brilliant combination it was decidedly lacking, although there were flashes by both teams at times. Indi- vidual work naturally was forthcoming, which wa.s divided between Patrick, .Snmlll and Poulin, of the locals, and McL«an. Hyland and Mallen, of the vis- itors.

Lindsay's work was good, as was also that of. Lehmann's, and his opportunl- ■ tics for stopping shots wer« much more frequent than those of the local guard- j

from the Westminster forwards were long and slow, and which although of the deceiving order were handled with a marked coolness.

Of Victoria's forward ranks the palm can be handed to Skinner Poulin, whose ail-round work was a treat. Donald Smith, in centre, will be hard to beat, and his cleverness in handling face-offa twas decidedly prominent last night. ^Df.ndenia^e's playing was as usual most effective, but he did not seem able to shoot with accuracy. Rowe worked hard th'-cughout, but his playing was not so telling as it has been In previous games. Lester Patrick and Smaill worked hf-amoniously on the home defence, and on more than one occasion, Lester flg- ined in combination and individual rushes.

Until the third period the. captain showed sUfierlor form, and had their op- nonenta Kuessing at every turn. The f.jst'rn'cp that thev set from the start was too good to last, and in the conclud- ing period of play they slackened down to such an extent that the visitors found •litllj trouble in winning- The OMua

The game started with a rush, Vic- toria on the aggressive. The rubber was soon returned to Victoria's end and Smaill and Dunderdale went down with a pretty combination rush. For several seconds the locals were raining shots on Lehmann. without result. The opposing forwards made several rushes, but these were cleverly broken by Patrick and Smaill. Donald Smith and I^atrick went down' with a rush, Smith scoring on a pass fr.-m Lester in four minutes aiid fifty seconds after tne commencement of the ga.mc. In less than a minute Poulin obtained posses- sion oi the rubber in centre ice and after making a brilliant individual rutih through the Royals' defence scored Victoria's second. Time fifty-eight secohds. Until this lime the visitors were uhal?le to even make a shot at the local goal, so closely were they checked by the local defence. At this stage Johnson broke loose and gave LlntJsey his first opportunity to make a stop, which he did without difficulty. On a pass from Poulin. Dunderdale bulged the net. but because of being off-4We It was disallowed.

From the fact off Mullen and Mv- Lean went down the ice, Maiien -•K.-nr- Ing Westminster's first on a pass from 3ue. J line o..>-. uu. in„ .iu„ i--!' the game was exceptionally dean, only one penalty being given and this to Oardnor, three minutes for tripping Lester Patrick. This ended the first period, score standing 2 to 1 in favor of Victoria.

Bobby RoVie was sent off for three minutes fo" tripping Mallen. 'Jntll within less than a minute of time there was no scofjng. although both teams had been prfMing hard and shooting frequently.

While the attorneys for the defence have mado no statement that this contention wi'ukl be made by witnesses for the Vlr- BinUn, or argued by tliem in summing ui) the evidence, such inference Is gath- ered from the nature of the auestlons asked In cross-examination.

Andrew Cameron, who was lookout on the Strathalbyn at the time of the col- lision, gave a vivid account of the ac- cident. He said It was part of his duties while on the watch to observe the lights. He examined the lights every half hour and looked at them three tijr.5« after the Slraihalbvn left Tacoma until the accident took place. He said

He siila when he .sa%v the colll.-'lon -was coming, he shouted a warning to the tlreman down the forward ventilator.

He also testified to having put up the masthead light before the vess^el Uft Tacoma. He de.icribed the equip- ment, and said the light was burning hiightly.

Robert G. Russell, the niiartermaster, was at the wheel when the collision oc- curred.
