A. Forbes, mineral expert for the provincial government, who has been making a report on various mining properties in the north, returned yesterday from a visit, to the salt beds at Mile 45, in which F.

His real name was dis- covered from letter end papers in his coat to be Rowland Balsover. Balsover was born in Long- sight, Manchester, England, in 1887. He was an able bodied seaman who was paid off the British ship Talthybius at Van- couver in December, 1912, and came here recently. Captain Vineent said that he had known Burns, as the man was called, for fourteen days and had made two trips with him. On the last trip they had had a good catch and having divided the money went up town to make some purchases, ‘They then re- turned to the launch and put out from shore. When they had left the boat house a couple of hundred feet behind, Vincent asked Balsover to move a case of gasoline from forward to amidships.

But Balsover did not notice this and kept swim- ming for shore. During this time a number of men were trying to get to the rescue from shore. They had plenty of rowboats but no oars, so they started up their gasoline boats. Meanwhile Vincent was trying to get to Balsover with his launch, but as the boat has a long stern it look some time to turn her. When brought around her faulty keel caused her to go nearly on the rocks. But by this time poor Balsover had sunk for the last time, with the nearest boat only ten feet away.
