VICTORIA, B. c.. Jan. 1.-THE Van
couver Island wild man. whose exist
ef1ce has been prominent in the tradl-
tions of the island tribes and who has
been vouched for by Mike King,
famous backwoodsman, has again made
his appearance, and this time there were
four witnesses
A. B. Crump, ]. Kinkaid, T. Hutchins.
and w. I. Buss, of Qualicum, say they
were out hunting near Horne's Lake, III
an uninhabited section, when they came
UPon the uncouth being on the lake
shore He ran like deer through the
tangle of underground, and pursuit WAS
ippracticable. The wild man was ap-
pGrently young, with long and matted
hair and beard, and THs covered with
profusion of hair all over the body.
Seen Four Years Ago.
| 1t was four years since King came
across the strange being. He was pros
pecting the timber country inland from
the head of Campbell River. his Indians
| having refused 10 go beyond 4 certain
! landmark which they referred to as the
boundary OF the country of the 'massa-
che ikta''-literally the bad thing Ii
was toward evening and the man-beasf
was surprised while bending over wa
! ter hole, washing certain edible roots
which he had disposed in two piles, the
one cleaned and the other awaiting
cleaning.
+ At Mr.. Kings approach the creature
/ started a cry of mingled terror, aston
/ ishment, md defiance, then ran hall
| way up the hillside, where he stood for
five minutes, curiously regarding the in
! truder. Mr. Kings description was very
similar to that given by the Qualicun
/ quartet.
The Injians in northern Vancouver
Island shun what has been set apart BY
(! them as the country of the massache
/: ikta,'' and no persuasion will induce
!: them to go into it with hunter. trapper
or prospector. Their tradition is that al
the coming OF the Spaniards to the west
/ coast an immense monkey escaped from
q vessel ana took refuge in the fores
wilderness. Several months later 1t ap
peared and caught up and carried away
with it girl OF fifteen. The natives al
lege that two wild children resulted, bu
that one was found dead in a rude hu
beyond the headwaters Of Campbell
River, leaving at least one other crea
ture to roam the woods.
Glimpses of the Man.
Old prospectors tell of glimpses of tn
wild man as far back as 1865, when
mining man named Brown contribute
