Mrs. Ask, with her husband, was Grenville a passenger on the steamer Spokane, southbound, which called here about 6 o'clock on Tuesday night. About 9 o'clock Wednesday morning she was picked up by a couple of Seattle fishermen in the launch Lark on their way to Ketchikan, the men being attracted by her cries from the shore at a point about oppo- site Lowe Inlet. She was dfessed only in her night clothes and a kimona, shoes and stockings. According to the story told by Mrs. Ask, who is a woman about 28 vears of age, she fell over-| board from the steamer about 11 o'clock on Tuesday night. Al-| thought not a swimmer, in some inexplicable manner she _ suc- ceeded in reaching shore, where she had to remain throughout! the night in her wet clothes and} without any means of making a } fire. That she did not succumb to the exposure of ten hours waiting throughout the chilly! night is not the least remarkable | feature of the affair. } made her plunge ‘o the waters is a Very narrow one, which helps to explain how she reached shore and her success in 1S PRETTY CERTAIN TO Victoria, B. C., May 8.—An additional sale of timber record- ed by the Forest Department il- lustrates the active intention of the Minister of Lands that de- ception in the matter of pre- emption shall not be tolerated, and if attempted will bring swift punishment. As those conver- sant with the iand iaws of Brit- ish Columbia are aware, lands containing timber to an extent of more than eight thousand feet to the acre are classed as timber lands, and as such are not open ATTENDING “A cen- peace” was the general topic today at the St. Louis, Mo., May 5.— tury of Anglo-American fourth American peace congress. William Renwick Riddell, judge of the supreme court of Ontario, reviewed British-American rela- tions for the last hundred years and said that questions more dif- fieult of settlement than any settled by war had been adjusted peacefully between Great Britain and the United States. John Lewis, editor of the To- ronto Star, spoke on the identity of the interests of the United States and Canada. Justice Ben Russell, of the su- preme court of Nova Scotia, said it was a settled understanding among the English speaking peoples of the world that no pos- sible question could arise between MOST REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE PLUNGED FROM STEAMER SOUTH OF PRINCE RUPERT AND WAS WASHED ASHORE—TEN HOURS ON BEACH IN ONLY HER NIGHT CLOTHES. attracting the attention of the jlaunch with the American fisher- men on board. Although weak from exhaustion, everything was done by the men to make her comfortable. Dry clothing was supplied and instead of going on to Ketchikan, their destination, the men put into Prince Rupert, arriving here about 10 o'clock last night. Mrs. Ask was imme- diately taken to the hospital, where she is receiving every care and attention. Although in a very nervous condition, the at- tending physician reports that no serious results are likely to fol- low the woman's most trying ex- perience. Provincial Constable Doolittle, immediately on being notified, en- deavored to get into communica- tion with the Spokane by wire- less, but up to the time of going to press no word has been re- ceived from the husband.
