proclamation was issued to the effect

Tan Stick Island.

In the Southwest bay, in the New
Hebrides group, there is small wood
ed island Of considerable height above
the sea. although only few hundred
yards in circumference. The story of
its acquisition is curious one. South
west bay used to be considered good
place for target practice by the British
men of war on patrol duty there. and
this small inlet was used as target
so frequently that 1t seemed in danger
of being gradually shot away. The
chief who owned it protested and
wanted compensation. The captain of
a man-Ofwar who understood the ma
tiyes knew that these claims would be
ceaseless source of blackmail unless
they were settled once for all, so he
bought the island for the British
crown, paying ten sticks of tobacco for
1t. and every one was satisfied. The
place since then has been known as

mind. Some of Cameron's possessions
proved unduly attractive to a native,
and he determined ON transferring the
ownership to himself. He accordingly
paid another native 5000 to procure for
him the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and
did his best to earn it. but Mr.. Cam
erOn had perversely locked up the very
articles that the fellows employer had
set his heart upon. The man could not
carry out his bargain. and neither did
he feel that he could part with the
money. Therefore he ran off with it.
What more logical than that the man
who was the loser by 5000 should ex-
pect the explorer to make the loss
good? This he assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr.. Cameron and told
him the story. demanding in the first
place the 5000 which he (Cameron) by
locking up his goods had compelled the
complainant to lose and. secondly, the
actual price of the goods themselves.

the roar Of the crash had died away
could hear faint cries coming up

and so terrific the power.
