A LESSON FROM
THE ELECTION.

The election Of President Cool
Nge is the greatest evidence yet
offered to prove that the Ameri-
can people think straight on bas-
ic questions. The vote for Cool
idge was not a vote for the man
so much as a vote for sound
principles of government.
NThe vote showed that the
American people cannot be
stampeded by professional po-
lit!oal praGtiees which seek to
cloud the fundamental issues.
The election year has also
shown that questions like the
tariff and discussion of changes

CAPTAINS OF
ADVENTURE

By ROGER POCOCK

soon a ship appeared, the Hudson's
Bay company's brigantine Una. Her
people blasted the rocks. while the
Indians, naked and well oiled, grabbed
the plumber. The sailors wrestled,
but could not hold those oily rogues.
In time the Una sailed with load Of
gold, but was cast away with her cargo
in the Straits of Fuca.
Next year Gold Harbor was full Of
little ships, with a gunboat to keep
them In order while they reaped q
total harvest of two hundred eighty
nine thousand dollars. The British
warship Thetis had gone away when
the schooner Susan Sturgis came back
for second load, the only vessel TO
brave the winter storms. One day
while all hands were in the cabin at
dinner the Indians stole on board,
clapped on the matches and made them
prisoners. They were marched ashore
and stripped in the deep snow, plead
ing for their underw ear, but only Cap
tain Rooney and the mate were al
lowed that luxury. The seamen were
sold to the Hudson's Bay company
at Fort Simpson, but the two officers
remained in slavery. By day they
chopped irewood under a guard, at
night crouched in a dark corner Of
a big Indian house, out Of sight Of
the fire in the middle, fed on such
scraps of offal as their masters deigned
to throw them. Only one poor old
woman pitied the slaves, hiding many
a dried clam under the mating with
in their reach. Also they made friend
Of Chief Bearskin's son; and Bear
skin himself was a good-hearted
man, though Edenshaw proved brute.
Rooney was an able-bodied Irishman,
Lang a tall, broad-shouldered Scot
though this business turned his hair
gray. For after the schooner was
plundered and broken up, a dispute
arose between Bearskin and Eden
Edenshaw would kill Lang rather than
surrender him TO Bearskin, and twice
the Scotchman had his head on the
block to be chopped of before Bear
skin gave In TO save his life. At last
both slaves were sold to Captain Nc
Neill, who gave them each a striped
shirt, corduroy trousers and shoes,
then shipped them aboard the Beaver.
Now Ii so happened that on the pas
sage southw ard the Beaver met with
the only accident in her long life, for
during a storm the steering gear was
carried away. Lang was ships car
penter, and his craftsmanship saved
the little heroine from being lost with
all hands that night. This rescued
slave became the pioneer shipbuilder
Of Western Canada.
