TUESDAY, N IC BY-LAW THE The news that the City Solicitor has been able to make the best of a bad job and induce the Provincial Cabinet to pass a. private bill to legalize the hydro-electric by-law, is news that will be hailed with satisfaction by all citizens, irrespective of their pri- vate opinion of the bungling that has marked the hydro-electric plans thus far. The Daily News is informed by one of the alder- men, that Mr. Sweeny of the Bank of Montreal has consented to advance the city a loan for hydro-electric purposes, on the guar- antee contained in the Provincial Secretary’s letter that the Gov-)| ernment will legalize the by-law. Someone—we forget for the moment who the far-sighted in- dividual was—in advancing Mr. Manson’s cause last January, pointed out that one benefit of haying the member for Skeena made Mayor of the city was, that if the city got into difficulties with the Provincial Government, Mr. Manson would be able to ob- tain special consideration for the city at the hands of the Govern- ment. In the present case, it has certainly worked out so. This is without prejudice to the obvious truth, that it would have been better in the first place to have had a Mayor and City Solicitor who would have done the thing properly from the start. That would have been better than a recourse to party pressure, to special fav- ors, special trips to Victoria, delays and excitement. The thanks of the citizens are not due to the Council, the City Solicitor or even the Government. The thanks are due to the bank that has pro- mised to make advances from its funds on the promise that the | Government will bring in special legislation, and to the Tsimpsean Power Co. for not taking the opportunity to have the by-law quashed. The whole incident emphasizes the gross neglect of the Mayor in leaving the city at the mercy of a bank. Eleven months ago, at the first campaign meeting held by Mr. Manson, he promised that his first act as Mayor would be to make an issue of deben- tures, and cease financing the city from the bank. Indeed the bank’s aid was only sought by the first Council as a temporary convenience until an issue of bonds or debentures could be arranged. Although Mr. Manson has been in office ten months, although next year will see a Presidential election in the United States—al- ways a period of financial stringency—Mr. Manson and his assoc- iates have not attempted to market a single debenture. The dif- ference between promising to do a thing, and the actual doing of the thing—a difference that has haunted Mr. Manson’s political career like a shadow—has been very evident in Mr. Manson’s re- gime as Mayor. He has left a crop of financial tares for the next Mayor to harvest. The city is to be congratulated that the hydro- electric by-law has been successfully tinkered up. = BEIRNES & MULVANY Skeena Mail and Express Leave all express packages for interior points with the Pacific Trans- fer Co., 807 Third Ave., and insure prompt forwarding.

Satisfied | by the scrutiny, he stood behind the girls, who had shrunk closely togeth } | the moment he retired. | “They are trying hard to stee- clear of the reef,” he shouted. “Twice they | have got her head round, but the sea }is too strong for them. I am atraid | she is doomed.” | Now, they unquestionably saw the | great body of the ship. Her funnels | showed most clearly, making sharply defined black daubs on the heaving } desert of froth. The plunging whirls of the masthead light were enough to | prove how the unfortunate vesse! was | laboring in what might prove to be her final agony. And the pity of it! The wind was | dropping. In another hour the wea- | ther ‘night moderate appreciably, the | tide would be furthcoming Indeed, leven then, a powerful steam trawler | was preparing to fight her way out of Penzance harbor, with brave men on | board ready to take any risk to save | a ship in distress. But the hour was grudged by fate. They could plainly hear the hoarse blasts of the steamer’s foghorn, and again a rocket spurted its path to the | clouds. She was barely a mile away, | and, if anything, in a worse position | than before, as the wind remained | fixed in the southwest, and the tide, | at this stage, curved in towards the | land ere it began to flow back again | to the Atlantic. } “Can nothing be done?” screamed | Constance, rendered half frantic by the thought that the steamer would go to pieces before their eyes. “Nothing,” was the answer. “Pray for them. They are in the hands of | God.” | In gruesome distinctness they | watched the vessel's approach. ‘ihe |siren ceased. Had those on board | abandoned hope? Pitching and roll | ing in a manner that suggested the | possibility of foundering in deep wa ter, she came on with fatal directness, | Suddenly, a dreadful thought came to Brand's mind. The lighthouse stood on the easterly afid most elevated por tion of the reef, whose bearings ran southwest by west and north-north: west. At low-water, some two acred of jagged rocks were exposed. On all sides the soundings fell to sixteen and eighteen fathoms. What if this help: less leviathan, of ten thousand tons or more dead weight, were to strike tha pillar? This was quite possible with | the tide at its present level. It all depended whether her bows were raised or lowered at the moment of impact. In the one case she would | smash away many feet of rock, and perhaps damage the foundations of the lighthouse; in the other, her sharp | prow would stab into the vitals of the | granite, and the huge column might | collapse in common ruin with its colos- sal assailant. One of the girls, he never remem: bered which of them, spoke to him, | He could not answer. For a second | time that night he knew what fear | meant. He watched the onward | plunging of the vessel with stupefied | eyes. He saw, as in a dream, that her officers and crew were still makin desperate efforts to weather the ree But, with the utter malignity of fate, though they might have swung her to | port, she would not budge a yard ta | Starboard, for now both wind and waves assailed her most vehemently on the starboard quarter. Then when she was little more than | twice her own length distant, he was certain that a dim form on the bridge signaled to the chart-house. With 4 miraculous deftness, on the assump. tion that her wheel was put hard over, | she fell away from the racing seas, | Her red light disappeared; her green | light curved into full view. The next | wave lifted her bodily, with a mad joy | that it should be able to use her to batter its enemy, the rock. Then she struck, with a sickening | crash that was plainly audible above the roar of the reef. This was not }cnovgh. Another rush of foaming wa ter enveloped her and smashed her again on an inner ledge. There she falling inertly over to star } | lodged, board. And Brand found his voice once | nore, for, as sure as this terrible night | would have its end, so surely had the | gallant captain of the steamer refused |to imperil the lighthouse when all | hope of saving hts ship had vanished, The tears were in Brand’s eyes. Hig arms encircled the two girls. “There goes a fine ship, commanded by a brave man,” he cried. And that was the beginning of the captain’s requiem. CHAPTER VII, THE LOTTERY Just as the spin of a coin may mean loss’ or gain in some trumpery dispute or game of the hour, in like manner, apparently, are the graver issues ol life or death determined at times. It is not so, we know. Behind the tri Viality on which men fasten with amazement as the governing fe,tor in events there lies an inscrutabie pur ge. Yet, to those watching the des ruction of the splendid vessel, there was littie evidence of other than 4 blind fury in the fashion of her un doing. The hoarse words had scarce lefi Brand's lips before a third wave, high er and more truculent than its prede cessors, sprang right over the iost ship and smothered her in an ava lanche of water. No doubt this mon ster swept away some of the officers and crew, It was impossible to bq certain of aught save the one thing— that the steamer would surely break up before their eyes. The wind, now blowing in fierce gusts, the sea, ris ing each minute, the clouds of spray | chasing each other in eerie flights through space, the grinding, incessan utterly overwhelming noise of the ree made all sights and sounds indefinite nebulous, almost fantastic, But when the giant billow receded | THE DAILY NEWS | leaving the ship ITke a dark rock in, the midst of inaumerabie cas ads the catastrophe took p!* which Brand would have foreseen were hist thoughts less tumultuous.

The slender ste! sh |) ructed ‘6 | of an ocean liner is not co! t g on resist the law of gravity ac! ‘ five thousand tons. So the solid-look- Ing colossus cracked like a carrot, and the after part fell back into the watery chasm, there to be swallow: ( instant ly, amidst a turmoil w! happily drowned the despairing shrigks of far more than half of those on board. | Constance and Enid screamed bit- | terly in their woe, but again they were | saved from utter collapse by the ext | gencies of the moment. Brand, who | expected to see the remainder of the | ship blown up by the inrushing of the sea to the furnaces, dragged them forcibly below the level of the protect- ing balustrade. Yet nothing of the sort took place. A vast cloud of steam rushed upwards, but it was dissipated by the next breath of the gale. This incident told the lighthouse-keeper much. The ves sel had been disabled so long that her skilful commander, finding the motive power of no further avail, and certain that his ship must be driven ashore, had ordered the fires to be drawn and the steam to be exhausted from all boilers except one. Therefore, her shaft was broken, reasoned Brand. Probably the accident had occurred during the height of the hurricane, and her steering gear, of little use without the driving force of the en- gines to help, might have been dis- abled at the same time. When the horror-stricken watchers looked again at the wreck the forward part had shifted its position. It was now lying broadside on to the seas, and the lofty foremast thrust its truck to within a few feet of them. They were spared one ghastly scene which must surely have bereft- the girls of their senses. The majority of the first-class passengers had gath- ered in the saloon. Some clung like Iimpets to the main gangway. A num- ber, mostly men, crowded together in the drawing-room on the promenade deck. Farther than this they could not go, as the companion hatchways had been locked by the officer of the watch, the decks being quite impass- able. When the hull yielded, the spacious saloon was exposed to the vicious! waves. Finding this new cavern open- ed to them, great liquid tongues sprang into the darkness and licked out hap- less victims Ly the score. Of this ap- palling incident those in the lighthouse knew nothing until long afterwards. When the ship struck, the electric dynamos stopped and all ber lights went out. The lighthouse lamp owing to its rays being concentrated by the dioptric lens, helped not at all to dis: sipate the dim and ghastly vision be- neath, but the great frame of the fore part of the vessel served as a break- water to some extent, and temporarily withheld the waves from beating against the column. Hence Brand, straining his eyes through the flying ruck, fancied he could make out the figure of the cap- tain as he left the bridge, and, with some of the crew, took shelter behind the structure of the library and state cabins on what remained of the prom enade deck. At the same moment the frenzied occupants of the library and gangway contrived to burst open the door of the main companion. If they had to die they might as well die in the open and not boxed up in impenetrable darkness. As a mat- ter of fact, the bolts were forced by a man who fired his revolver at them, The sea quickly discovered this new outlet. The next wave, passing through the saloon, sent tons of water pouring through the opem hatch. One good result accrued, The strong can- vas awning which prolonged the spar deck, was carried away, and the group bf survivors, benumbed with cold and wholly overcome by their desperate position, could see the entire height ot the granite column in front crowned with its diadem of brilliance. The liberated passengers saw it for the first time. The sight brought no hope. Between ship and lighthouse was a true mael strom of more than sixty feet of water, created by the back-wash from the stone-work and the shattered hull, Even if the passage could be made of what avail was it? The iron entrance door was fully fifty feet above tha present level of the sea. It could only be approached by way of the rungs of fron embedded in the granite, and every wave, even in the comparativa moderation caused by the obstructing wreck, swept at least twenty feet ot the smooth stone tiers. It is this very fact that prevents rock lighthouses from seldom if ever serving as refuges for ship-wrecked sailors. The ascend: ing ladder is so exposed, the sea usually so turbulent under the least stress of wind, that no human being ean retain hand-hold or footing. Yet, there was one faint chance of succor, and it was not a sailor who grasped it. The first that Brand knew of the desperate venture was the sight of a spectral man climbing up the shrouds of the fore-mast. On a steam. er, whose yards are seldom used for sails, the practicable rope-ladder ceases at the fore, main, or mizzen. top, as the case may be. Thencefor ward, a sailor must climb with handd and feet to the truck, a feat which may occasionally be necessary when the vessel) is in dock; it is hardly ever at. tempted at sea. The venturesome individual who thus suddenly made himself the centre of observation, carried a line with him. Not until he essayed the second portion of his perilious ascent did Brand realize what the other intended to do, which was nothing less than to reach the truck, the very top of the mast, and endeavor to throw a rope ta the gallery. And he might succeed, too—that was the marvel of it. The tapering spar came very near to them, perhaps twelve feet distant, and the wind would certainly carry the rope across the chasra if carefully thrown. A few strong and active men might use this nertal ferry. Well, better they than none. Brave fellow; would that the Lord might help him! Higher and nearer swung the stal- wart youngster, for none but a lithe and active boy could climb a pole with such easy vigor. At last he reached the truck, and a faintly heard cheer from beneath mingled with the hysteri- cal delight-of Enid and Constance, when, with legs twined round the mast, he rested his arms for an in stant on the flat knob of the truck. ——_ = Here his face came into the lower focus of the light—strong, clean- shaven, clear-cut features, a square determined chin, two dark, earnest eyes, and a mop of ruffled black hair, for his deer-stalker cap had blown off ere he cleared the spar deck. “Look out for the line,” they heard him shout. The wind brought | his voice plainly, but evidently he could distinguish no syllable of Brand's an swering hail: “Shall I make fast?” “Can't hear a word,” he cried. you can hear me hold a hand up.” Brand obeyed. “Catch the line,” he went on, “It is attached to a block with a running tackle. Haul in and make fast.” “The megaphone!" shouted Brand to Constance. She darted away to bring it, and when the adventurer clinging to the fore-mast had thrown a coll successfully, Brand took the tn- strument. “Why don’t you come this way? The others will follow,” he bellowed. “There are women and - children down below. They must be saved first, and they cannot climb the mast,” was the reply. “All right, but send up a couple of sailors. We are short-handed here.” “Right-o,” sang out the other cheer: fly, though he wondered why three men should anticipate difficulty. Down he went. Without waiting, Brand and the girls hauled lustily at the rope. It was no child’s play to hoist a heavy pulley and several hun/ dred feet of stout cordage. More than once they feared the first thin rope “rf COAL NOTICE Skeena Land Distriet—District of Queen Charlotte Islands Tcke notice that Austin M.

To make assurance doubly sure, Brand told Enid to take several turns of the spare cord around the hook and the adjacent rails. Meanwhile, Constance and he saw that the rope was moving through the pulley without their assistance. Then through the whirling scud tewieath they made out an ascending figure clinging to it. Soon he was close to the gallery. Catching him by arms and collar they lifted him into safety. He was one of the junior officers, and Constance, though she hardly expected it, experienced a momentary feeling of disappointment that the first man to escape was not the handsome youth to whose cool daring some at least of the ship's company would owe their lives. The newcomer was a typical Briton. “Thanks,” he said. “Close shave, Have you a light? We must signal after each arrival.” Enid brought the small lantern, and the stranger waved it twice, The rope travelled back through the pulley, and this time It carried a sailor-man, who said not one word but stooped to tle his boot-lace. “How many are Brand of the officer. “About eighty, all told, including some twenty women and children.” “All wet to the skin?” “Yes: some of them unconscious, perhaps dead.” “Can you hold out ” “Yes; a nip of brandy—” “I will send some. We must leave you now. These with me are my daughters.” At last the crust of insular self; possession was broken. The man look- ed from one to the other of the seem- ing lighthouse-keepers. “Well, I'm ——,” he blurted out in his surprise. “That American young: ster wondered what the trouble was.” A shapeless bundle hove in sight, It contained two little girls, tied in- side a tarpaulin and lashed to the rope. This, evidently, was the plan for dealing with the helpless ones. Brand instantly divided his forces. Enid he dispatched to make hot cocoa in the quickest and most lavish man- ner possible. Constance was to give each new arrival a small quantity of stimulant (the lighthouse possessed a dozen bottles of brandy and whiskey) and act as escort. The women and children were to be allotted the two bedrooms. Any bad cases of injury or complete exhaustion could be dis- posed of in the visiting officer's room, whilst all the men fit to take care of themselves were to be distributed be- tween the entrance, the coal-room, the workshop and the stairways. The kitchen, were to be kept clear, and the store room door locked. Eighty! Brand was already doing problems in simple arithmetic, A similar problem, with a different point to be determined, left?” inquired youngster” who had solved the knot: tlest proposition put forward during that eventful night. He watched the forwarding of the shrieking, shuddering, or inanimate women. He timed the operation by his watch as the reflected light from | the lamp was quite sufficient for the purpose, Then he approached the captain. “Bay, skipper,” he cried, “how long do you give the remains of her to hold out?” “It 1s not high-water yet,” was the answer. “Perhaps half an hour. Fors ty minutes at the utmost.” “Then you'll have to boost this thing along a good deal faster,” said the cheerful one, “They're going up now at the rate of one every two min- utes, Fifty of us will travel a heap quicker at the end of that time if your calcu lation holds good.” The captain, who appeared to be in a stupor of grief, roused himself. A few short and sharp orderd changed the aspect of affairs. Fright: ened and protesting ladies were se; curely tled together, and hoisted, four at a time, like 60 many bags of wheat, When it came to the men's turn, even less ceremony and greater expedition were used. Indeed, already there were empha; tic warnings that much valuable time had been lost in the early stage of the rescue. Though the wind was now only blowing a stiff gale, the sea, lashed to frenzy by the hurricane, was heavier than ever. The ship was vanishing visibly, A funnel fell with a hideous crash and carried away a life-boat. The rest of the spar deck and nearly the whole of the forward cabins were torn out bodily. By re: peated Spempin on the reef the vessel had settled back almost onto ay even keel, and the fore-mast, which bad so providentially neared the summit of the lighthouse, was now removed fay beyond the possibility of a rope being thrown. The survivors on deck worked with feverish energy. The time was draw- ing short. They did not know the sec- ond that some unusuaily tempestuous wave would devour them utterly.
