days they finally beheld the open
sea.
An expedition was sent down the
face of the cliff to find a landing place

ice lay the broken and crushed frame

polar cold for thousands of years.
The Bonaventure's crew, with the
superstition for death common to all
sailormen, after their first fright was
over, reverently consigned the bodies
to the sea.
During the months that followed the
marooned seamen underwent heart
rending suffering. Their search for q
place to launch the small boat proved
unavailing and they sought the whaler
once more for the warmth and pro-
visions IL Afforded. There in the little
harbor with the ice jam still rearing
an impenetrable barrier between them
and the outer world they awaited the
end with logged resignation.

Making her way slowly into the har-

wildly of the terrible experience she
passed through while in the frozen

Captain Papineaus story of the
whaler's ill-starred voyage strikes ter

marvel how men could endure the hor-

Mr.. H. Ivor Thomas Is a candidate
for city auditor because he considers 1t
to be his duty to the citizens of Los
Angeles to afford them the opportunity
to place him in office if they see fit to
do so.
His training has been such as to
especially fit him for this work, he hav-
ing had ten years experience in rail-
road auditing, two years banking ex-
perience, and a record of several years
successful practice as a public account
ant. In the last named capacity he
holds a diploma from the California
state board OF accountancy to practice
as a certified public accountant, and
some two years ago he gave up his pri-
vate practice in order to assist the pres
ent city auditor in devising and INSTALL
ing a new system of accounting in this
city, and since that time has had direct
charge of all its details.
Under the present administration the
office of city auditor has been made an
important executive position, and as
the auditor is under the charter, the
fiscal agent of the city, it is at all times
essential that the incumbent should be
chosen for his qualifications by special
training and experience rather than
for his political affiliations and good fell
lowship.
And particularly at this time should
special fitness be demanded, IN order
that the accounting system which is
still in it's infancy may be carefully
guarded and continued in its efficiency,
and because a number of new munich
Pal enterprises are now in process of
development, all of which require ex-
pert knowledge and careful safeguard
ing.
Mr.. Thomas has been a resident of
Los Angeles for six years, Is we'll
known in accounting circles, and ac-
knowledged to be the best equipped
man for the office.
