CANADA FORGING
AHEAD

Thomas G. Shotwell, one OF the
greatest market reporters in America,
writes from New York, under date of
March goth, and says:
"The Tariff tangle with Canada
which President Taft has taken in
hand is of Importance chiefly because
of the multitude of American farmers
that are crossing into the Canadian
northwest. Most conservative esti-
mates OF their number place it at
100000 for 1910. Some say as many
as 100000 will cross. These are all
expert farmers and their places in the
United States are being filled by un-
trained men from Europe and from
the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly
in agricultural Importance and with
in few years the United States will
have to call on the Dominion for
wheat. Production of wheat in the
United States is not keeping pace
with the population. A tariff war
would complicate the problem of get.
ting food. Even now Canadian farm
ers are getting higher prices for their
cattle on the hoof and Canadian house.
wives are paying less for meat in the
butcher shops than farmers and house.
wives are receiving and paying in the
United States. The tariff on cattle
and wheat must be removed as be.

in taking them food-cold provender,
for the galley was wave-lashed, the
cook driven below-although how the
lad ever managed it is a mystery, and
he reported that Celeste chung to her
bunk, sick and frightened, but that
Lady Darlington was about and
dressed whenever he went in.
Some time during the third day the
wind had blown itself out. or else we
had been driven beyond the sweep of
it Anyhow, it died down into faint
puffs, but the sea remained heavy, the
fog thickening as the gale ceased.
This curtain, coupled with the sparse
light there was, left the decks so
dark that we attempted little clearing
up, merely pointing the yachts nose
more directly northward at half-speed,
trusting the Almighty to furnish us
with clear water Indeed, there was
nothing else to do with that ice-pack
back of us, and the fierce seas pound
ing our poop. Besides, / had come to
the end of my endurance, and when
De Nova came limping forward, hang
ing to the lifeline, to take his watch,

and clawed my way across the cabin.
Lady Darlington stood braced in her
doorway, yet for the life of me l
could not speak, although l tried-my
head nodded on my shoulders, and /
fell forward across my bunk, asleep
before l even struck the mattress.

until he had me sitting up in the bunk,
my eyes wide open.
What time is it. Dade?"
1.-TWO o'clock sir"
Morning."

Then I've been asleep for six hours.
Why didn't you call me earlier?"
MIR. De Nova told me to let you lie,
sir; / guess the lady asked him to
do it,"
had pulled on my boots, and was
standing up, gazing out through the
door into the cabin, where Dade still
remained, watching to see that l did
not go back to sleep again. Suddenly
there came a tremendous shock which
sent me sprawling forward, and flung
Dade headlong against the wall. AS
struck the deck a thunderous craSh
and roar sounded forward; the stern
of the vessel seemed to spring upward
into the air, sliding us both down
against the front of the cabin. In
stantly there followed two muffled re-
ports, accompanied by a further up
fitting of the stern. Everything loose
came tumbling down upon us, and, as
l pulled myself to my knees, l found
the deck slanting upward like the
steep side of hill
ooh, Lord, sir, what's been done?"
We've hit something hard; ice,

vas, the rattle of blocks aloft, the
thousand noises emitted by the strug-
Cling fabric under foot. / see the swirl
of snow; the crested seas, boiling in
madness; the CLEAN of pursuing ice
fields; the towering pinnacles of giant
bergs overhanging our mast-heads;
the flying clouds, and the settling
down about us of the ghostly frost fog.
l feel the wild plunge down into the
hollow; the sicken1ng, staggering eff
fort to climb up; the dizzy balancing
upon the crest, and that awful drop
again into the hell below!
No man on board will ever know
how we made it; how we ever found
passage through those wind-lashed
channels; how We ever kept upright
under the pounding of that sea; how
the Sea Queen ever shook her trem-
bling decks free from the tons of ice
and water, and rose staggering to the
crest. Once our engines broke, and
for two hours we rolled helplessly,
while Mcknight and the Chilean tin
kered at the damaged machinery, and
the great waves buried us, and
smashed the charthouse into frag-
ments. Once the rudder-chains be-
came fouled with ice, and we swung
into the trough of the sea hurled over
until our lower yards trailed in the
water and half the yacht shivered be-
meath the smother we hanging on for
our lives, drenched and buffeted by
the waves. The jib-boom snapped like
a pipestem, and huge, ugly hole was
ripped out of the forward bulwarks.
Up to the neck in icy water we
chopped away the rattle, and flung it
overheard. Gustafson, shrieking wild
ly for help, went with the litter, while
his mates bore Symes below grooming
from broken leg.
Mersiful heavens, how that ice came
down, pursuing us like the very Fiend!
Once it pressed so closely against our
quarter that the sea, rebounding from
off its front, boarded us, sweeping aft
in a vast wall. 1t caught Dade open
ing the companion door, hurled him
smothering backward and flooded the
cabin foot deep in icy water. Yet
we held to it, our eyes aching, our
limbs frozen, our oilskins stiff with
ice, the exposed flesh of our faces one
fostering frostbite, bruised by the
shocks, half dead from fatigue, dizzy
from the battle. But it was no sea
manship which saved us; it was a
merciful Providence. for at times the
smother was so thick we ran into II
blindly, not daring to breach to with
all that ice after us, driven by the
wind, and not knowing what was ten
yards ahead, or ten yards behind.
During all that time ] scarcely left

watch on the bridge in the flying spray
