'Pelorus Jack New Zealand's World
Famous Pilot-ish.

Separating D'Urville Island from
the mainland of Nelson Province runs
a narrow arm of sea known as the
French Pass. For more than half a
century "Pelorus Jack" the famous
pilot-fish of New England, has con-
stituted himself pilot in ordinary
to vessels threading the narrow
channel. So Zealously has his self
imposed task been performed during
the whole of that time. and so short
have been the ARE vacations he has
allowed himself. that his presence
in these waters has come to be re-
garded as an institution, and it is
safe to say that his loss by death
or desertion would be looked upon
Is nothing short of a national cal
amfty. The French Pass forms a short
cut between the waters of Pelorus
Sound and Tasman Bay, and coast
wise vessels trading to Picton and
Nelson use 1t in preference to making
the longer passage around Cape Ste
phens.
At the entrance to the Pass Jack
has his regular quarters. From his
station in some sub-aqueous cave at
the narrows he keeps watch and ward
on the ships as they pass on their
way.
Let a vessel be seen making for
the Pass and Jack" is at once on
the qui vive. Darling from his lair,
he makes his presence known by
snorting spouts of pleasure and per-
forming a series Of foamy somer-
saults around the ships bow. Swim
ming Just ahead, he conveys his
charge in safety through the wind
ing passage, leaving her, when open
water is reached, with a final snort
by way of farewell, going back to
resume his watch at the entrance.
And this is not a thing of yester-
day. When first the vessels Of Europ-
eean settlers began to ply along the
coast the presence Of the strange
fish in Pelorus waters quickly be-
came known; its actions became mat
tiers Of comment and discussion
among early mariners.
1t was not, however, till within
the last twenty-five years, when in
ter-colonial and coastal steamers,
carrying passengers from port to port
began almost daily to thread the
Pass, that "Pelorus Jack" and his
doings became matter of worldwide
fame among the maritime folk Of
the Southern hemisphere.
Year in. year out. he vas at his
post. Never a ship went by but

To Keep the Face
Fresh, Clear, Youthful
National HYGIENE Review

More important than the cosmetic
care of the complexion is it's physical
care. To keep the face clean, fresh,
youthful, there's nothing better than
common mercolized wax. 1t absorbs
the soiled or faded wornout skin par
ticles. Using cosmetics simply adds
EMBELLISHMENTS to the complexion.
That's the difference. BY all means,
acquire the mercolized wax habit. It's
80 easy to get an ounce of the wax at
the druggists, apply at night like cold
cream and wash off next morning.
There's no detention indoors, the old
skin coming off SO gradually no one
suspects you're using anything. When
in week or two the alluringly youth
full, roselike underskin is fully in view
well. you won't want, or need, a
makeup complexion after that
For obstinate wrinkles, a face bath
made by dissolving an ounce of saxo-
lite IN a half pint witch hazel, sur
passes massage cream for results.
