Reminiscences
and
Reflections
By
W.J.
A
nervy
young
fellow
named
Crence
Prest
was
among
the
j
first
every
to
fly
ovtr
Prince
Rupert.
He
came
from
Las
Vegas,
Nevada,
and
had
set
out
to
wing
his
way
to
Siberia
by
way
of
Edmonton.
The
flight
that
far
north
had
been
without
particular
incident.
But.
after
leaving
the
Alberta
capital
trouble
started.
The
delicate
looking
little
Curtis
bi-planc
was
shipped
on
a
flatcar
to
Prince
Rupert.
The
lad
from
the
south
had
contracted
wth
the
Fair
Doard
to
make
daily
demonstrations
cf
aviation
and,
this
being
Exhibition
Week,
he
commenced
forthwith.
A
landing
stage
had
been
built
on
Acropolis
ball
grounds
now
Roosevelt
Park)
between
tennis
court
and
ball
field,
and
how
he,
not
to
mention
spectators,
escaped
destruction
or
accident
remains
a
minor
mystery.
There
was
Insufficient
space
and
curious
crcwds
would
press
too
close.
Perhaps
Prest
did
make
Siberia.
He
had
strength
and
resolve.
Eventually
he
did
fly
to
Alaska.
Ironically
enough,
hs
came
within
a
few
hours
time
of
alighting
In
Russia,
without
doing
so.
He
crashed,
landing
imagine
'.t
on
the
tundra
in
the
very
midst
of
a
huge
herd
of
cariboo.
Scenery
is
all
very
fine,
yet
there
can
be
moments
when
one's
interest
in
nature
can
feel
a
violent
shock.
You
know,
cf
course,
the
C.N.R.
look-out
near
Second
Avenue
and
Third
Street.
Once,
on
a
beaming
summer
day,
a
visiting
couple
strolled
the
winding
pathway
to
the
top.
It
was
noon
hour
warm,
clear
and
calm
a-
moment
to
pave
and
contemplate
peace
and
flowers,
refreshment
and
sweet
reason-

That
solitary
man
over
there
on

bench!
They
drew
nearer.
He
seemed
to
be
dozing.
He
was
indeed.
Self-inflicted
death
had
come
hours
before.

the

of

the

never

him.
Screen
humor

not

It
was
the
camera
(not

that
brought
tears
to
many
ah
eye.
There
was
a
smoke
scare
one
humdrum
evening.
The
town's
lone
reporter
witnessed
it.
Needing
copy,
he
played
it
up.

Pointing

"Yes."
"Where

or

Majesties?
