NTIL recently there has never
been any obstacle in the way
b. OF the once enormous United
States whaling industry in
I. Hudson's bay. Now that the
whales have practically disappeared
from the region it is matter of con-
siderable conjecture why the Canadian
government has seen fit at this eleventh
hour to declare the waters of Hudson's
i bay t'closed sea-" The entrance TO
the bay is wider than that OF Boring
sea, and no power has ever shown the
slightest disposition to close that gate
way. Hudson's bay, however, is sur
rounded on all sides by British terri
tory, while Boring sea is bordered by
at least two countries.
81 1t is the unofficial opinion of many
persons, although there is not par
ticle Of confirmation of the theory to be
obtained from Washington. that Cana
da, disturbed over the Alaskan bound
airy settlement, Is fearful lest the
American whalers, who for seventy
years have been operating in Hudson's
bay. should influence Washington to
claim territorial privileges there. Ger
tain 1t is that Canada suddenly made

administration and station cruiser in
the waters to prevent foreign whalers
from trespassing.
Having no ship suitable for the pur-
pose, the Canadian government char
tered the sealing steamer Neptune of ST.
Johns, Newfoundland, and on Aug. %
last year sent her north on an extended
voyage. The Neptune was in charge of
Captain S. w. Bartlett. the Newfound
land ice master who commanded
Peary's ships, and her crew was COM
posed of fifteen other Newfoundland
ers, all skilled in ice work. The expe-
dictionary party consisted of two divi-
sions-the scientific. under A. p. Low

itary, under Major Noodle. The latter
was also commissioned as governor of

there also. The Neptune landed the

naIMNhN mayed by the murder Of
uSoNO2a the Hon. Ronald Adair
under most unusual and
inexplicable circumstances. The public
has already learned those particulars of
the crime which came out in the police
investigation, but good deal was sup
pressed upon that occasion, since the
case for the prosecution was 80 over
Iwhelmingly strong that it was not nee
essary to bring forward all the facts.
Only now, at the end Of nearly ten years,
am I allowed to supply those missing
links which make UP the whole of that
remarkable chain. The crime was ofin-
Iterest In itself, but that interest was
as nothing to me compared to the In
conceivable sequel. which afforded me
THE greatest shock and surprise Of any
event In my adventurous life. Even
now, after this long interval, I find my
self thrilling as think Of 1t and feel
ding once more that sudden flood Of jow,
amazement and incredulity which ut
terly submerged my mind. Let me
say to that public, which has shown
some interest In those glimpses which
II have occasionally given them Of the

It can be imagined that my close In
timacy with Sherlock Holmes had in
kerested me deeply in crime and that

Ito read with care the various problems
(which came before the public. And l
even attempted more than once for my
own private satisfaction to employ his
methods in their solution, though with
indifferent success. There was none,
however, which appealed to me like
this tragedy Of Ronald Adair. As I
sread the evidence at the inquest which
led up to verdict Of willful murder
against some person or persons I'M
known, l realized more clearly than l
had ever done the loss which the COM
Hnunity had sustained by the death of
sherlock Holmes.
There were points about this strange
business which would, was sure, have
specially appealed to him, and the eff
