McNeill had his hands full passing on the several passengers who claimed the privilege of gO- ing ashore. A very strict exam- ination is made of the passengers as to their fitness to be allowed to land in a British port. A min- CT from Seward, Alaska, with flowing auburn locks half way down his back was the exposure of all eyes. 1t was only after con- siderable interrogation on the part of the health officer that he was permitted to go ashore.
