HAVE ROUGH DAY
World Tourists Encounter a
Storm in Which Lifeboat

press of Japan, Nov. 27-After a
weeks sail the world touring white
soX and giants have yet failed to run
into clement weather. Starting soon
after the departure from Victoria,
rough seas have been encountered,
but the previous experiences are as
naught compared TO the storm through
which the steamer tossed during yes
terdays voyage.
The captain vouches for the state
II ent that the storm IS the worst en-
countered in years. The boat log
shows about two Thousand miles of
travel since leaving Victoria, this be-
ing off the Aleutian Islands, a spot
known for rough travelling.
Few of the party saw the upper
decks yesterday Huge waves burst
over the PROV at times and passengers
were warned to remain below. A
warning wasn't required in most cases
as the less experienced sea travellers
refused to even venture beyond the
confines of their staterooms. The
main salon was occupied only by pas
sengers who boosted a liking for rough
travel and could back up their claims
with strings of memorable voyages.
That yesterdays experiences are
not common occurrences for Trans
Pacific travel is evidenced by what
ba opened above decks. One hfeboat
was stove in and the remains washed
away. The boat was on the port side
and swung outward for emergency
uses. In this position it received the
full force of the mountainous wave.
The indications are that pleasant
travel will be enjoyed. Late yesterday /

the press agents description of it as
"a household story is remarkably
close to the truth, even though he
be a press agent This story by Miss
Reed is to be found in nearly every
home and occupies a position of honor
on every bookshelf devoted to Amer
lean fiction. 1t is an old fashioned love
story of New England and as long as
men and women work and love, its
character will have their appeal.
II is said that the dramatist, David
G. Fischer, has taken very few liber-
ties with the text and that the thou
sands who love the tale for it's quaint
setting and restful atmosphere will be
agreeably surprised and pleased by
the stage version. The United Play Co
has been to great pains to select a
competent cast and to give th- play a
correct and effective setting. Sarah
Padden, who has visited here as the
star of "Kindling" and THE Third De-
gree" will have the leading role.
