Toulon, September 25.

All France is in mourning today for the loss of the French

cruiser Liberte, and her crew of five hundred men, who were done to death when the

war vessel blew up at her moorings in the harbor of Toulon at

half past three this morning

Owing to the condition of European politics, on receipt of the horrifying news,
it was at first thought that the act was perpetrated by the Germans, and presaged

This wild rumor was speedily laid, however.

There is no doubt that

The Liberte was one of the finest of the French war vessels, and had only been in

The Liberte carried a crew of 793 men, but happily for many of them they were
enjoying shore leave at the time of the disaster. As it is, nothing now remains of this

As soon as the fire was discovered, sailors from other vessels in the fleet were des-

Many of these have perished with their comrades

The fire came with such suddenness that scores of the sailors on the Liberte are

Carrington blew into the city

He left Edmonton on July 15th.
Then travelling on foot from Yellow

a wide detour by water on a

hundred miles river travelling. He
went by Fifty Mile River, Big
Smoky River, and Clearwater,
following the bends of these rivers,
travelliing some of them with the
current, others up stream, and
prospecting the banks for minerals
as he went. He located indica-
tions of value in metal oies, and
mica, but prefers to be a» little
vague regarding their position on
the map.

The men clutching frantically for

MUCH, BANGING
Conservatives in Cavalcade

Saturday night saw a mighty
assembling at the doors of the
Conservative camp. All the empty
gesoline cans in Northern B. C.
were collected there, and all the
small boys available stood guard
over them. Then there were
banners bearing legerds, most fre-
quent amongst which figured the
“TOM DONE,” and

certain derisive ones referring to

words

leading men of the Liberal party
in the hour of defeat.

There was a_ rig—the band
wagon minus the band (which
walked in front)—there were Union
Jacks enough to scare the stars
off Old Glory, there was a charger
for Mr. Clements, a fiery un-
tamed Mexican mustang with a
“Tom Done” ticket which wouldn't
stick on its behind part and had
to be held in Mr, Clements’ hand.

And then there were brooms.

There were a great many brooms
—so many brooms that one Jittle
housewife rushed home in alarm
to see whether the Conservatives
had really and truly left hers,

A Daring Rescue

It was impossible for them to
have escaped from that position
alive had not Carrigan came down
the rapids in time. Swinging his
canoe into the eddy he got into
a safe position from which after
an hour and a half of perilous
work he managed to rescue both
men. He took them with him to
Fort George. It is characteristic
of Carrigan that in telling his
story to the News reporter the
other day, he almost forgot to
mention this incident, and its
details were onlv obtained from
him by direct questioning.

Through Fertile Valleys
From Fort George Mr. Car-
rigan passed with a ninety pound
pack of provisions on his shoulders
through the Nechaco Valley across
Mazuka Lake to Fort Fraser and
Burns Lake. Thence through the
Bulkley Valley where the fine
crops greatly impressed him, to
Aldermere. Here he crossed over
the Hudson Bay Mountain pros-
pecting, and saw some of the
roted B. C. silver just as it comes
from mother earth on that moun-
tain. He stopped there four days,
and had a look at Copper Stain
Ledge before proceeding to Hazel-
ton. From Hazelton Mr. Car-
rigan went on to Sealey spending
four days there, and then came
on down the Skeena to tide water.

On his way now to Kotiack
Island, Alaska, where he has his
home, he is staying to put in a
spell of work in Rupert. He is a
Newfourdland man, with such a
varied experience of hardy ad-
venture throughout the north and
northwest, that it would take a
book to tell half his doings.

 

OF CANS

AND BURNING OF BROOMS

With Clements on Charger

Blaze Soon Out and a Noise With
Nothing To It

brooms in Prince Rupert were
there.
Every one of those brand new

brcoms was saturated in gasoline

or coal oil. At the word ‘‘Go!"’
every broom bearer struck a
match. The bandsmen struck

their gasoline cans. Mr. Clements
struck spurs to his charger, in
imitation of John Gilpin, and the
mayor struck an attitude. As
for the spectators they were struck
dumb with admiration as _ the
cavalcade started off up Sixth
street. Blazing brooms were bran-
dished to the concern of the Fire
Chief. There was the dickens of
a row from the tin cans and the
small boys, but beyond that there
was nothing doing. The pro-
cession marched via Third avenue,
Fulton street, and Seventh avenue
to McBride street. Then back
by Third avenue pausing to invoke
a blessing upon the News office
er route,

“Never saw such a punk cele-
bration before,’ remarked a man
from Vancouver as the broom
blaze died out, which was very
discourteous of him.
