Their explanation that a mirage threw out the navigation of the ship wsa not novel to some engaged In actual navigation In these parts as It might have feemed to landsmen. Despite the fact that Prince Rupert did not land the repair Job which we would have liked very well to have had, the wreck of the Catala. originally looking to be terloua enough, has had something In the nature of a fortuitous outcome.

At such times, on this boat, one man dexter ously gutted them while another scrap ed out the ' poke with a small scraper attached to a piece of nose, at the same time washing them out. When the fish are all cleaned, one man goes into the bold.

Alex McRse of the city line gang held up the tradition of his race and got his bear albeit he may be facing the eerlous charge of killing a pet and that on this game preserve of Kalen Island. The unfortunate part of it all was that Alex and the gang on the way home with the spoils bumped into the game warden. But, thereby lies a tale.
