wouldn't do it. That is all there is TO
the story regarding his abuse of Min
ister Cooper He had no conversation
with the Minister that l could hear,
and was present all the time
The subject of the stealing of the
flag was next brought up,
and Collector General Castle told what
he knew of it:
Il retired early Tuesday night, but
could not sleep. About IL: 80 / awoke
and made light A few minutes aft
erward Mr.. Carlye, the guard, came |
back to the veranda 10 ascertain the |
cause. He remained only few min
utes, then returned to his post. Before |
he started for the veranda l saw the |
flag hanging where it is now Carlyle's /
duties take him all over the grounds, |
as there is only one Waterman on
guard at a time Shortly after this. !
finding sleep impossible, I walked to
the gate and noticed that a yellow
cloth that had been hanging to this
rope, had been removed. Mr.. Carlyle
reported TO me, then, that on his re
turn to the gate a mounted patrolman
had asked him who the man was that
had Just left the gate. Carlyle said he
told him he had not seen any one, and
asked him to go and look among the
trees and see if he could find him.
4 can say for myself that the rules
of quarantine have been sacredly kept.
There was no necessity TO send guards
out here to keep us within limits, be-
cause we were anxious to have the
quarantine enforced. When we asked
Minister Cooper to assign the limits of
quarantine he declined to do it, and
told us they would have to be fixed by
the executive officer of the Board of
Health.
Until today, from the time we came
in quarantine / have never left the
grounds. This afternoon l went out in
a rowboat and pulled about for half an
hour or more and landed on the beach
in front of my house. Mr.. Brown
thought he saw violations of the quar-
antine regulations, and to prove it,
assumed the role of spy, and set out
to watch us. Finding himself without
proof he waited until the guard came
away from the gate, in making his
| rounds. in order that he might remove
| the flag. 1t was not an honorable ac-

wait until high tide, he could probably
! get away with every yellow flag at
quarantine station, and not half try.
From all we have heard. Brown has
! been airing himself without any
grounds whatever He has made
! charges against us to the Board of
Health. and he should be made to prove
! them. If he cannot substantiate them
it is the DUTY of the Board of Health
TO demand his resignation from that
body. / know nothing about Brown

Mr.. CARLYLE volunteered the follow
