It is the habitat of a colony of clams and while it would be won derful to be able to report that the clams had left their holes and lighted fires on the beach, one must forego the temptation in the interests of varacity. The lights which puzzled' the city- dwellers were from lanterns flocked to the beach during an extremely low night tide to dig clams. Heavy ice on ine Skecr.a River, brought down from the interior by the current, is making navigation to Port Essington hazar dous and only those who take proper observation of the tides can do it safely, according to Lee Wing, Port Essington business man, who Ms in the city purchasing supplies for the semi- isolated community. The thick ice cakes, which could easily grind through the unfortified cedar hull of a boat, however, are also subject to the tidal cur rent and it is by making use of the incoming tide that naviga tion is safe. As the tide comes in, it pushes the ice floes up stream above Port Essington HI-WAY SERVICE Now Open for Servicing, Light Repairs and Vulcanizing BELLAMY & TWEED 404 McBride HANDYMAN HOME SERVICE GENERAL CONTRACTORS Building and Repairs of all kinds Roofs, Chimneys and Oil Burners PHONES: Green 480 Red 804 JONES NEWS STAND Eastern and Western Papers Magazines SUBSCRIPTIONS TAKEN Sixth Street Red COB MAVIS COLCLOUGH Studio of Dunging FOR CHILDREN Tap, Ballet, Acrobatic and Interpretive To Enrol Phone Blue 480 PLAIN SEWING CHILDREN'S CLOTHES Phone Red 495 or call at 1805 Eighth Avenue East Advertise in The Dally News. Villagers on the west coast of Ireland recently had temporary reason to believe that an age-old legend had come true when they saw dozens of lights shining in the sea off-shore from their village. According to the legend, a city would rise out of the sea near the island of Aran off Ireland's stormy coast. When morning came, the Irish villagers saw that what they half -believed to ,be vindication of their superstition was nothing more than a fleet of 30 Spanish trawlers which had taken shelter In the lee of Aran from a storm. Prince Rupert citizens, while possibly not so superstitious as the Irish villagers, experienced some puzzlement this week at what might have been mistaken for a city suddenly sprung up on the north shore of the harbor near Metldkatla Pass. The shore was dotted with a myriad of lights, giving the effect of a large community across the water, where ordinarily there is only a barren shore. Actually, the shore is barreh and navigators can make the run across the river about an hour before peak tide, do their business, then get away just as the tide starts to fall. The Ketchikan fish packer Sydney, a regular visitor at this port, was here Friday unloading three carloads of canned salmon for rail shipment to the Eastern United States. The fish was packed by the New England Fish Co. Unloading the Sydney .was delayed by trouble with her cargo boom which was repaired temporarily. Northbound, the Sydney took a carload of paper consigned to the publishers of the Alaska Sportsman maga zine in Ketchikan. A well known former Prince Rupert man who has spent the last few years in the navy, returned to the city Friday afternoon for a holiday. He was Lieut. Inge Valen, who arrived here with the firm intention of. doing some hunting and ' he brought a considerable armament along for the purpose. Lieut. Valen, .who was formerly chief skipper for the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage Co., intended to make the trip three years ago but naval duties forbade It. During the war he served at sea as a navigating officer and visited Prince Rupert last summer as navigating officer aboard the destroyer H.M.C.S. Crescent.
