During the day Vincent went about
his duties in a most systematic man

colony in charge, and showed them
the mysteries of the storeroom and
kitchen, and the exact location of all
foods and cooking utensils.
After dinner Mr.. Rockwell was de

Mr.. Morton, 1T occurs to me that
there are three divisions of work that

first is our sust enance during the

the broad head of housekeeping. The
second is a thorough exploration of
the island, and as careful an esti-

the performance of these duties
The motion being carried, Mr..
Rockwell pondered few moments
and said:
Il am of the opinion that all mem

should serve on the committee on
housekeeping. If the work is shared
by all, the task will be light, but if
it devolves on one or two men it will
be mere drudgery. / am going to

general superintendent of the Social
Island bungalow, and of all the lands
and game preserves thereunto APP
pertaining. He will have full author

member not employed at the time
on other duties. and in case of dis
pute the president will render Il
decision. The president will also be
subject to Mr.. Vincent's authority
in the matter of household duties.
It will be accepted as unwritten law
that each member must keep his
