Chief
Engineer
Munro
Retires
After
37
Years
with
C.N.
Ships
Chief
Engineer
Alec
Munro
of
the
Canadian
National
Steamship
Prince
Rupert,
stopped
Iris
ship's
engines
at
the
company
wharf
here
today
for
the
second
last
time
in
a
career
that
began
shortly
after
the
ship
itself
began
plying
the
British
Columbia
coast.
After
37
years,
during
which
he
estimates
he
has
travelled
almost
two
million
miles,
"Alec"
will
go
into
retirement
when
the
Prince
Rupert
reaches
Vancouver
at
the
end
of
tills
week's
ttir..
"I've
always
been
a
great
booster
for
Prince
Rupert,
and
I'll
continue
plugging
for
it,"
says
the
veteran
engineer
whose
first
Canadian
home
was
in
this
city.
"I'm
also
a
great
booster
for
the
dry
dock.
I
think
the
tradesmen
there
are
second
to
none,
anywhere."
j
When
the
Prince
Rupert
gets
back
to
Vancouver
at
the
end
of
the
week,
"Alec"
will
turn
over
his
responsibilities
to
Chief
Engineer
Reg
Williams,
who
was
chM
engineer
on
the
vessel
while
Mr.
Munro
held
similar
position
on
the
ill-fated
Prince
'
Oeorgc.
"Then
I'm
going
to
have
a
good
holiday,"
said
Alec.
I'm
going
fishing.
Reminiscing
in
his
cabin
on
the
starboard
side
of
the
vessel,
Just
above
its
throbbing
engines,
Mr.
Munro
recalled
37
years
of
coastwise
ship
life
during
which
he
has
travelled
from
Vancouver
to
Alaska
1500
times.
How
many
miles?
"That's
easy,"
he
said
picking
a
pencil
from
his
desk.
"Fifteen
hundred
times,
1,300
miles
is
1,950,000
miles."
More
calculation
brought
forth
the
Information
that
1,950,000
miles
equals
75
trips
around
the
world
at
the
equator.
"That
doesn't
include
the
time
I
went
back
to
England
to
bring
out
the
Prince
Henry,"
he
qualified.
That
happened
in
1929
when
Alec
was
sent
over
by
the
com
pany
to
"stand
by"
during
the
construction
of
the
Prince
Henry
at
Birkenhead.
He
brought
the
ship
back
to
the
coast
and
served
en
her
from
1930
to
1932
when
Her
Support
from
Dutch
he
took
her
to
Halifax
to
service
on
the
seast
coast.
"With
the
exception
of
the
Prince
George
disaster.
I've
had
nothing.
'but
good
luck
with
the
captains
I've
served
with.
The
Prince
George
was
a
fine
ship."
Actually,
the
Prince
George
was
his
first
and
favorite
in
the
Canadian
National
line.
He
Joined
her
on
her
second
trip
In
August,
191d,
as
junior
engineer
and
rose
to
be

WERE

SERGEANTS
HANGED?
ACT
CONDEMNED
BY
OFFICIAL
MS
JERUSALEM
Oj
There
was
some
doubt
today
as
to
whether
the
Jewish
underground
;had
actually
hanged
two
British
sergeants
who
had
been
kidnapped
July
12
and
held
as
hostages
in
the
event
of
the
execution,
as
took
place
yesterday,
of
three
Irgun
Zvai
Leuml
members
for
complicity
in
the
Acre
Jail
delivery.
An
underground
communique
.
today
asserted
that
the
two
sergeants
had
been
hanged
in
a
forest
near
Natanya
in
reprisal
for
the
execution
of
the
three
Irgun
members.
Police
at
Tel
Aviv
were
reported
to
have
"said
that
the
bodies
had
been
found
there
but
this
was
later
denied.
In
London
a
Jewish
Agency
spokesman
condemned
the
hanging
by
the
underground,
saying
that
execution
without
trial
was
contrary
to
all
Jewish
principles.
The
chief
rabbi
in
London
said
that
such
an
execution
was
'too
horrible
for
words."
