Sex
This
took
up
about
a
year-and-a-half
of
his
time
and
was
followed
by
a
period
of
about
equal
duration
in
British
coastal
command.
In
India
Victor
spent
five
months
in
hospital
suffering

said
Flying
Officer
Dell.
"Food
is
plentiful
but,
as
everyone
knows,
there
is
to
be
seen
extreme
wealth
and
splendor
on
the
one
hand
and
dire
poverty
and
starvation
on
the
other.

were
among

"It

the
war,"
Victor
said.
"You
have
to
have
been
there"
to
realize
it

rationing."
Victor
was
one
or
the
first
local
boys
to
enlist
in
the
Royal
'Canadian
Air
Force
and
"one
of
the
luckiest,"

The
local
boy
went
through
the
usual
basic
training
at
prairie
schools
of
instruction.
It
was
in
India
that
he
received
his
commission
and
promotion
to
pilot'
officer
rank,
flying
officer
coming
about
six
months
later.
Asked
If
he
had
met
any
of
the
Prince
Rupert
boys
in
his
world
travels,
Flying
Officer
Dell
said
he
had
not
encountered
a
single
one
in
the
Far
East
but
had
met
among
others
in
England
Flying
Officer
Doug
Boucher,
formerly
of

of
Montreal
here,
Flight
Lieut.
Allan

'Major

and
Private
Eddie

There
are
prospects
of
a
happy
three-way

reunion
of

while
Victor
is
in

so
happens
that

both
expected
home
on
leave
in
the
very
near
future.
"And
it
will
be
fine
to
see
them,
too.
In
fact,
I
have
seen
them
only
for
about
a
day
in
three
years,"
Victor
mentioned.

Question
of
Transportation
"Most
of
the
placer
miners
and
the
early
settlers
went
In
from
the
south
Island
ports
and
seemed
to
prefer
that
route
though
the
placerlng
Is
all
done
beyond
the
north
end
of
the
cliffs.
It
ls
only
possible
to
use
the
beach
along
the
longer
stretch
of
beach
Cape
Ball
River
to
the
Bull
Swamp
when
the
tide
ls
away
from
the
cliffs,
leaving
either
end
as
soon
as
the
beach
clears
on
the
falling
tide
and
hastening
through
before
it
gets
too
high
again.
From
Cape
Ball
Klver
to
the
Bull
Swamp
Is
about
J6
miles.
Only
two
breaks
occur
In
the
cliff
through
this
distance
Eagle
Creek,
about
eight
miles
north
of
Cape
Ball
Creek,
and
the
"Lumber
Pile,"
about
11
miles
north.
It
used
to
cost
the
early
settlers
at
the
average
rate
of
a
dollar
a
mile
to
get
a
gas
boat
to
run
supplies
up
to
them
be
It
five
hundred
pounds
or
a
ton.
Hecate
Strait
does
not
favor
the
use
of
a
rowboat
as
a
rule
although
it
Is
sometimes
possible
to
so
transport
supplies
If
you
have
the
rowboat.
You
can't
Just
leave
a
rowboat
on
the
beach
anywhere,
either,
not
If
you
value
It.
Also,
regardless
of
what
kind
of
a
boat
you
have
or
how
well
powered,
you
take
a
big
chance
off
that
east
coast
In
the
j
winter
because
of
the
sudden
violence
ql
storms.
A
trading
schooner
might
profitably
service
the
coast
In
summer
and
one
of
the
officers
of
the
old
Lllloct
once
asserted
that
he
would
like
to
have
such
a
boat
along
the
coast
of
British
Columbia.
At
that
time
some
settlement
all
along
seemed
Im
minent.
Whether
it
would
have
been
profitable
as
things
turned
out
ls
questionable
but
0-uch
a
trader
could
mean
a
lot
to
settlers
In
off
route
locations.
It
would
solve
the
problem
of
local
transport
even
local
markets.
It
could
accept
consignments
of
produce,
possibly
even
Including
fish,
If
fish
can
be
kept
In
live
boxes
In
the
sea
as
they
arc
In
fresh
water
streams.
Two-way
radios
will,
doubtless,
be
made
available
to
civilians
when
the
war
Is
over
too.
With
them
and
with
other
signals,
It
would
be
possible
for
a
trader
to
contact
settlers
at
need
If
the
trader
were
running
on
an
approximate
schedule.
