After
formal
greetings
at
the
bridge,
the
cavalcade
was
led
to
the
city
by
a
provincial
police
car
containing
Sgt.
L.
A.
N.
Pot-terton
and
Constable
Edward
Anderson.
The
procession
drove
through
the
downtown
district
and
stopped
at
the
Court
House
grounds
where,
before
a
gathering
of
about
100
citizens,
Mayor
Arnold
welcomed
Capt.
Slayton
and
Dick
to
Prince
Rupert.
Arriving
in
Terrace
at
noon
Monday,
Capt.
Slayton,
Dick
and
Mr.
Robertson
stopped
at
Camp
bell's
auto
court
just
east
of
the
town.
Monday
afternoon,
they
were
taken
on
a
fishing
trip
to
Lake-
else
Lake
by
William
Osborne,
Terrace
garageman,
but
had
no
luck
with
rod
and
reel.
However,
they
were
guests
at
a
trout
din
ner
at
Mr.
Osborne's
home
on
Monday
evening.
"We
didn't
catch
tny
fish,
but
we
sure
enjoyed
eating
some
body's
else's
trout,"
Capt.
Slay-
ton
said.
"They
were
really
sood."
Tuesday
morning
at
4:30
they
went
to
Kitsumkallum
Lake
In
the
hope
of
shooting
a
black
bear
but
his
expedition
too,
failed
to
bring
the
desired
re
sults.
The
Slayton
cot
entered
the
July

parade
at
Terrace,
an
experience

occupants
en
joyed.

and
Mr.
Man-son

while
they
were
in

was

at
Port
Townsend.
has
followed"
the
seas
since
1917
when
he
entered
the
UjS.
Navy.
He
served
In
the
navy
for
two
years,
then
transftrred
to
the
merchant
marine.
In
the
ensuing
years,
he
served
as
chief
?nd
second
mate
on
many
deep-sea
ships.
RAN
TO
MURMANSK
DURING
WORLD
WAR
II
I'or
two
years
during
the
second
World
War,
he
was
master
of
a
Liberty
ship
which
made
two
"long
runs"
to
Murmansk
with
war
cargo.
His
ship
survived
German
undersea
and
air
attacks
although
ether
vessels
in
the
convoys
were
lost.
"My
ship
was
on
convoy
on
December
23.
1943
when
the
Scharnhorst
was
sunk
by
the
British
Navy,"
he
lccalled
"We
could
see
the
Thing
of
the
big
guns
Just
over
the
horizon,
but
could
not
see
the
ships."
He
is
ashore
now
because
doctors
have
told
him
he
ha
a
heart
condition,
a
situation
which
puzzles
him
because
that
organ
has
so
far
given
him
no
trouble.
"If
1
can
stand
a
gruelling
trip
like
driving
5;100
miles,
I
cant
see
that
'there
is
anvthlne
wrong
with
my
heart,"
he
explained.
"I
think
11m
perfectly
fit
to
return
to
the
sea."
i
The
most
difficult
driving
that!
he
and
Dick
encountered
was
on
i
the
desert
in
Arizona
and
Cali
fornia
when
they
encountered
a
sand
storm.
They
drove
24
hours
with
only
a
two-hour
stop
when
the
sand
became
so
thick
they
could
not
see
th-;
road
ahead.
On
account
of
the
heat
of
the
day.
the
desert
was
traversed
.by
night.
"We
wanted
to
get
out
of
that
sand,
and
we
drove
hard
to
do
it."
Later,
in
California,
they
encountered
a
plague
of
grasshoppers
that
covered
the
highway
for
a
distance
of
2b
miles.
"Dick
could
not
get
over
the
size
of
the
grasshoppers,"
he
recounted.
"They
were
about
two
inches
long."
One
of
their
most
novel
experiences
was
at
Kylntisa,
between
Terrace
and
Prince
Rupert
where
they
saw
snow
at
the
roadside
in
July
It
was
only
the
second
time
in
his
life
that
Dick
had
seen
snow.
The
Terrace-Prince
(Rupert
Highway
was
the
most
beautiful
country
they
passed
through
on
their
trip,
Capt
Slayton
said.

Accommodation
In

The
hostelry
known
as
the
Knox
Hotel
was
one
of
the
first,
if
not
the
very
first.
It
was
con
ducted
by
Mme.
Artaud
from
Dawson
and
stood
on
Rupert
Road
that
rugged
street
(so-
called)
lined
with
shops
and
shacks,
a
fire
hall,
a
theatre,
a

office,
cafes

looking
toward
the
town-site
and
not

as
it
hasfor
many
jears.
It
was
then
the
G.T.P.
Inn,
with
George
Sweet
from
Chicago
in
charge.
Overlooking
the
waterfront
was
the
Premier,
a
hotel
long
since
dismantled.
It
was
a
roomy
frame
building
of
a
rusty
red
hue,
with
George
Morrow
having
general
supervision
and
Fred
Henning
as
clerk.
The
hotels
and
cafes
sold
good
food
well
cooked
and
reasonably
priced.

of
those
days

The

reserve
between
Fifth

was
once
one
of
the
finest
livestock

anywhere

It

The
grass
was.

lush

Dozens
ot

turned

daily
and
they
gratefully
