WAS A CLOSE SHAVE
From q Serious Fire in a Montpelier
BARBER Shop.

The Montpelier FIRE department was
called out last evening for slight fire
in the Jangraw barber shop on State
street, just On the Rialto bridge. @. +
Buswell, whose store is the next one
in line, looked out Of his rear windows
and saw smoke issuing from the rear
OF the barber shop. An alarm was rung
in at once. Chief Wahlen was passing
in his automobile at the time and soon
broke open the door. He found flames
working in a little room at the rear OF
the shop, having apparently caught from
an oil-soaked scrubber, but from what
cause is unknown. The fire was easily
subdued and the damage was only five
dollars, But it was a close shave from
a serious fire as the location is partic-
ularly disadvantageous for lighting FIRE.

ton. The judiciary committee reported
that at the time of the dispute between
this government and the government OF
Canada over the rights of Canadian and
American sealers the American sealers
organized themselves into committee OF
investigation, with view to reducing the
claims of the Canadians before the COM
mission.
Evidence offered by them carried weight
and the Canadian claims were cut from
81, 2S9OOS to S463,454 In commenting upon
this act, Counsel Dickinson said:
Conspicuous among the Americans was
Alexander Mclean. He owned a half in
terest in two ships seized by the United
States, for which Great Britain demanded
indemnity.
His co-worker, a British subject, had
sworn before the Paris tribunal that he
ships did not disclose Captain McLeans
interest.
Under the stpmaHons nothing could
be awarded to him, an American. But q
full award TO the two ships would have
benefited him to the extent of his equities
in them.
Under the circumstances this brave and
honest man made oath before the commits
sion to his part ownership when by silent
assent to the perfidy Of his partner he
would have benefited himself.
Not only did Captain Mclean lose by
his truthfulness, but his activity on behalf
of the United States subjected him to many
unpleasant experiences and personal risk
at the hands of the British claimants and
their friends in Victoria. Surely such a
man-and his countrymen, the American
sealers who Joined, defended and sustained
him-not only deserves the consideration
of his government, but has earned the
praise Of the Psalmist given to him who
sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth
not"
Thus in the records of congress remains
this tribute TO the virtues OF Sandy Mclean,
treasure hunter and gentleman adventures
OF the western seas.

healthy mechanics and small traders on
board. They all impressed the consul as
respectable citizens who had embarked in
nocently on a treasure hunt for the pure
love of adventure. In short, Sandy Nc
Leans boat could have flown the crossed
palm flag OF the London Missionary So
clety's schooner and not be out of charac-
ter.
The consul bluntly told Mclean that he
must look below for arms. The blum cap
tain heartily assented TO the search. The
skin of the Sophia Sutherand's hold was
taken up in several places and not a rife
nor round OF ammunition was found.
Mclean said that there were three re-
volvers on the boat and that was all they
had in the matter of weapons of defense.
The consul invited Mclean up to his house
for dinner and the skipper put on his frock
coat and silk hat of ceremony with great
good humor.
over the kava Mclean told the consul
what his schemes were. On the water
front in San Francisco, he said, he had
met Dane by the name of SOrensen who
had tale to tell of a tremendously rich
gold ledge on an island in the Solomon
group sorensen possessed rough chart
of the location of the gold ledge which he
himself udu llltLlt Oh lllt SpOl, anu DOTeU-
sen alone knew how to get to that island
and how to decipher the chart.
The Dane Identified.
Mclean said that he believed the story
of the Dane was genuine and that a stock
treasure hunting company had been formed
by the Dane and himself for the purpose
Of seeking out the gold. His contribution
TO the enterprise was the Sophia Sutherland
and his services as skipper, said Sandy
The consul gave fun credence 10 the
shippers story. He had seen Sorensen on
the occasion OF his first visit TO the
schooner and there was something about
the Danes face that was familiar to him.
For several days he went over in his
mind the voyages that he had made through
the South and West Pacific and the men he
had met I'm strange islands, trying 10 assoc
ciate the bland face Of Sorensen with some
past event. He compared notes with an
old South Sea skipper one day after Mclean
had been in port about week. The skip

The SAGA OF SANDY MLEAN
Nan Who Makes literature and History
on the Pacific.
ORIGINAL OF JACK LoNDoRs "sEA WOLF
Tales of Opium Smuggling and
Escapes from CruIseFs-One Ex-
peditIon In Search of
Gold Brick.

Before the Pacific ocean is bridged by the
wireless telegraph and before the crisis
cross paths OF many ships have made its
wilderness as familiar as the Atlantic and
uncovered to the eye Of humdrum world
its secret places, the saga or its romance
days should be written and the thousand
and one tales of its venture lands put upon
record: And when this has been done one
Alexander Mclean, who is known from
Punta Arenas to Herchel islands as Sandy,
will have come to his own.
For Sandy Mclean is a maker OF ro-
nance. That IS not his business, but by
product OF his activities. Where Captain
Mclean drives his ship there is going to be
truth stranger than fiction and fiction that
passes for truth.
Along the Pacific coast Of America and
across the water from Saigon to Hakodate
there has sprung up a cycle of legend and
OF fact about the dolngs OF this skipper
whose invention is beyond belief and whose
courage is above the normal The late
Frank Norris knew him and In his stories
OF the Three Black Crows" the chronicles
Of Sandy Mclean are made more than once
TO serve the end OF fiction. Jack London
has publicly announced that Mclean Is the
prototype for his savage Wolf Larson Of
the Sea Wolf" and London says that he
once sailed under McLe-n's mongrel Central
American nag as a seal poacher.
Sandy Mclean Is stu living and he Is for
many reasons a modest man. For many
reasons, also. he now makes Victoria, b. c..
his headquarters, though be Is an American
by adoption, and be studiously avoids
American waters except those that are
very remote.

does New York, and Yokohama has more
than once been his refuge. In Ills tempo

bomb under the Russians stern.
After this exploit Captain Mclean fell
foul of the United States in transactions
that were various and productive OF worri-
ment to four executive departments at
Washington. The suspicion that the cap
tain had been guilty of poaching on the
American herd of seals UP around the
Aleutians had long been in the minds Of
the revenue cutter men on the Pacific
coast but they had not been able to get
any evidence against Mclean.
Fooled Uncle sam.
Early in 1904 Mclean took out the
schooner Carmencita from San Francisco
and started north Complaint was made
against him to the Department of Com
merce.
The case was submitted to the Depart
ment Of Justice, and on evidence submitted
by the secret service Mclean was indicted
in San Francisco. Then began a merry
chase all over the Boring sea and north
Pacific. Two revenue cutters were in
structed to bring Mclean back to San
Francisco dead or alive.
Mclean had evidently got wind of the
search that was being made for him, for
following his old tactics he had put into
the Mexican port of Mazatlan after leaving
San Francisco and had again registered his
boat under Mexican laws, changed its name
back to the Acapulco and hosted the Mex
lean flag So when after a years lodging
and doubling in the northern seas Mclean
put into Victoria with $50 skins aboard in
September. 1905. the appeal that had been
sent TO the British Columbia authorities TO
arrest him could not avail.
His registry and his flag were Mexican;
the American government could not arrest
a man under the Mexican flag for pelagic
dealing without special arrangements with
Mexico Strong effort was made by the
agents of the State department to get rid
of the stumbling block the crafty Sandy
had thrown in the path of American jus
tice but the diplomatic snarl could not be
unraveled and the captain OF the Acapulco
went free
The last chapter in the romance Of Sandy
Mclean does not lack the spice OF irony.
He was lauded as a patriotic American by
counsel for the United States in the joint
called to settle claims made against the
United States through the enforcement Of
the pelagic sealing regulations.
This enconium, passed upon him by Don
NJ. Dickinson, the counsel, did not appear
until the judiciary committee Of the house
in March, 1906, passed favorably upon a
bill providing for an examination by the
American sealers under the Paris arbitra-
