ISLAND IN ESQUI-

and rings out in the tones of his voice
in case of war. A friend of the writer
who visited Esquimalt a summer or
two ago tells an amusing incidento of two
Scotchmen whom he overheard in con-
versation One was fresh from the
homeland and the other was resident
of the states. One saw everything that
was British through a magnifying
glass and stamped with a great big B
and a roaring lion, the other had seen
some of Uncle Sans big guns and
knew that Johnny Bull did not have
monopoly on the big iron machines for
belching forth steel in carload lots at
the rate of 40 miles minute and fast
er. The one felt like Dragging, the 9th
err knew that Esquimalt with her big
guns and little and her dry dock could
be dropped down in one corner Of some
of the fortihcations of the States with
out crowding her American cousin or
exciting envy or alarm.
Mr. Scotchman with the magnifying
glass found great satisfaction in tell
ing what Esquimalt's big guns could do
in even of war, and he had the Amer
lean navy to it's last ship sunk in the
deep sea outside the harbor entrance,
while the American army was in wild
retreat towards Washington. But Mr.
Scotchman from the States, with
good nature which comes from conf
dence of ones position, invited his
friend to come across the border and
see the real thing in the way of can
non. But as far as we know he has
stubbornly refused to come and is still
busy Dragging about what Esquimalt's
big guns would doain case Of war.

of war on hand
But while the general defenses of
the station of Esquimalt have been
strengthened. the size of the British
fleet there has been reduced, so that
now, besides the flagship Grafton
which boat is a first class cruiser-only
two second class cruisers and two
steam launches for use of engineers are
stationed there.
But while the fleet has been reduced
in size, the strength Of the station has
been increased, as we have already
said. and new guns installed. A de-
scription of those guns will prove in
teresting. They are large 80 guns,
weighing, with their equipment, 30 tons
each. These cannon arrived from Eng
land in the fall of last year and were
placed in position upon the top of Sig
nal HILL which commands the whole
harbor These guns are said to throw
a 380-pound projectile five miles, and
with an elevation of IS feet they have
a range of seven miles. The guns are
said to have cost $4,000 each. They
throw the proiectile from the muzzle
at the rate of z,347 feet per second
and punch a hole in IS inches Of
wrought iron at a range Of 5000 yards
In addition TO these heavy guns a bat
terry OF quick-fring guns is being IL
stalled in the navy yard. and these also
cover the entrance to the harbor.

with pride upon these big frOwning
formidable guns. and a feeling of self
confident security creeps into his heart

WAS THIS MAN HONORABLE?
Tried to Beat Express Company, But
Lost by Transaction.

Lost by Transaction.
Now that the Mary Ann prob
lem has been disposed of let me
tell you of an actual case which
came within my knowledge sever.
al years ago, says the BROOKLYN
Eagle. These were the facts: A
wealthy and close listed banker in
a certain Illinois city was a.cus.
toned to sending currency by ex.
press to his correspondent bank
in Chicago. Somehow the express
agent got a suspicion that the
banker was saving expressage by
sending larger sums than he pre-.
tended, so one day when the bank.
er brought in a package which he
said contained $4,000 the agent
gave him a receipt as usual for
that amount, and later in his pri.
vate Office opened the package and
found that it contained $4,000.
Without saying a word to anybody
the agent hid the package away i'm
his safe and awaited develop
ments. In a few days the banker
came in to say that the Chicago
bank had not received the pack
age.
Every WELL" said the agent. II
Will send out tracer for it,"
A few days later he told the
banker that the package must
have been lost in transit, so he
counted out $4,000 and handed it
over to him.
Now, the agent fully expected
the banker to object to a settle.
ment on a $4,000 basis and was
prepared to tell him that when he
paid double expfessage on all the.
packages he hail sent in the PAST
the remainder of the $40, 900 would
be returned to him. But the bank
er preferred to lose the money
rather than confess his dishonest
methods, so he accepted the SIS, 900
and signed the regular release be.
lieving that nobody but himself
knew the lost package contained
double that amount.
Up to this time the agent had
acted faithfully in the interest of
his company, but now a question
arose in his mimi as to who right
fully owns the remaining $4,000
Never mind WAT he actually
did with il The Question is, dearI
reader, what would you have done
with it, and why?
