Simmons Makes Trial Freight
 Jump to AtIin
Tests Feasibility of Garry ing Loads in Savoia-
 Marchetti

Possibilities of carrying large quantities of freight by plane from Juneau to Atlin were being explored today by Chief AAT Pilot Sheldon Simmons.
 Simmons took off this afternoon in the Alaska Airways' immense Sa- voia -Marchetti plane for Atlin on trial trip to test the feasibility of hauling freight by air between these two points.
 He carried a ton and a half of oil from the Standard Oil docks to Atlin. The oil was loaded this morn ing.
 Simmons said definitely no pur- chase of the plane would be made, but that the Alaska Air Transport might lease the huge plane for spe- cial freight purposes. The deal, if it is consummated, will be between the AAT organization and Carl An- derson, president of the Alaska Air ways of Petersburg.
 At present freight to Atlin is routed to Skagway, then by rail and boat making the operation quite ex- pensive. Present plane equipment in Juneau is too limited to permit of wholesale freight carriage, Sim mons said.
 He said that most likely if the Savoia- -Marchetti is leased, Tony Schwamm, who flew the plane to Juneau last week, will act as pilot. Schwamm has been operating it for the Alaska Airways. The plane has been tuned by by AAT mechanics for the past few days.

Perhaps you'd like to hear what
your own father thought on a
night like this, just a year ago. 1t
was the last time Larry Keith ever
made trip with me. We'd tied up
here, as usual, on our way upriv-
er. Larry and were sitting on the
bank, smoking, and talking be-
fore we turned in. He said, It's
strange how a youthful fancy will
persist For twenty-five years,
whenever I've gone up and down
the Stikine, I've longed for a night
like this with my tent pitched on
the bank under a tree and inside
"a bed of hemlock boughs where
I might lie with my wife, the wo-
man love, and look out through
the open end, watching the river
flow under the moon"
My father said that-only last
summer?"
Yes"
Denny fell silent while her
thoughts dWelt on her parents.
How did those two, so utterly un-
suited to each other, ever happen
to fall in love? Was it true, what
her mother had told her, that
this river put a spell on people.

would dream of doing down in the
The daily independent., 1937-07-24

And now Revelry Bourne had,
apparently, forgotten her very
presence. She got the odd idea
that he was singing to the river
flowing past. His attitude piqued
her.
She was about to say something
that would force his attention
when the wolf-husky, Tongass,
came around from the far side of
his master and, placing himself
flat between Denny and the cap
tain, put his paw on her knee.
This voluntary gesture of friend
illness on the part of the dog she
had seen so terrible in battle,
pleased and touched her. She for
got her vexation at his masters
detachment and slid her arm ov-
er TongasS' warm silky neck.
Bourne's song ended and again
the sounds of the wilderness be-
came audible A low, round
moon had come sailing out from
behind the shoulder of a noun
tain downstream, its growing
brightness paling the stars and
gliding the sweep of the river di-
rectly beneath it.
She said, Il wonder what men
think of on nights like this, here
in your lonely country?"
That depends on the man.

dream of doing down in the
States? A vision of Sylvia rose
before her, blonde head tilted
back, red lips parted in a light
laugh of derision at the thought
of spending a night in a tent.
Hemlock boughs for Sylvia-whose
bed was the ultimate in luxurious
softness, silken sheets, satin-cov-
cred down puffs! Sylvia, arrayed
for sleep after more than an hour
of preparation, her marcel pro-
tected by a gold-colored net; a
strap under her adorable but
family plump chin; her useless
hands in gloves lined with spec
ial bleaching cream! The thought
of Sylvia's sleeping in a tent by
the river was fantastically humor-
Gus.
Yet, something in Sylvia's
daughter was capable of sympa-
thizing with the simple, romantic
desire that had lived in her Irish
fathers heart for years MY wife
the woman love-" he had said,
after a separation of nearly two
decades. Denny rnarveled at such
faithfulness. Pity, regret, tender
ness softened her heart for a mo-
ment.

the almost patern& ease with
which he addressed her; but she
answered lightly. You too, are
far from being ungainly, captain
Revelry Bourne.
You know, I've been hearing
about you practically all my l1e'
from your father. Let's sit down
here for a few minutes and get
ACQUAINTED" while he was speak
ing he broke off branches ana
spread them on the sand at the
foot of tree.
You knew my father well, Cap
tain?"
almost as we'll as did my
own. And I'm your customer al
so, If you ever want to sell River
House and the rest OF your legacy
I'd like to take it over. 1 love the
place, both for it's own sake and
because of your father. But it's
only fair to tell you, Miss kelth'
that it's to your advantage to
keep it. It's the best income prop
erty in the country"
When they were both seated he
went on, Il wish you had known
Larry Keith. He was a prince. He
taught me to ride and to shoot.
When my family lived at Tarni-
gan before 1 went off to school
he gave me the run OF River
House, especially the library"
Library? At River House?"
This conceded with none OF the
ideas Denny had formed from her
mothers descriptions.
Larry was one of the best-read
men I've ever known"
Denny wanted him to tell her
more about her father and his
Stikine home but he, like Harp,
evaded further questioning. I'm
going to let you discover River
House for yourself" he said.
The crowd about the campfire
was quiet now and the only sound
was the murmuring Of water flow
ing among the tree roots along
the bank.
The silence was invaded by the
liquid notes of Harp's bagpipeS
fluting through the trees. He was
playing an air that stole on the
ear low, yet clear and buoya1lt. 1t
had a captivating rhythm.
Revelry Bourne lifted his chin
and began to sing the words. His
voice, not loud. weaved itself
against the night, gay and proud
and wild:
"A la claire fontaine
Men allent promener,
J'ai trouve l'eau 81 belle
Que pc my SuiS baigne."
AS he sang, his dog came slip
ping from the shadows and set
tied himself on his launches be-
side his master, putting his lean
muzzle on the mans shoulder.
Denny, without turning her head
watched first with curiosity, then
with fascination, the silhouette
they made against the glinting of
the stream.
Only a northern riverman sing
ing a French song about clear,
flowing water; yet, somehow, the
words vested him with a remote
glamour; swept him back from
this era of syncopation and cheap,
ungrammatical love songs, to an
age more elemental, more pic
turesquely masculine than the one
she knew.

But to get back to your question
I'd say women and rivers are

What time you must have de-

authority, Captain!"
Not necessarily. The mere
passing of time brings a certain
negative wisdom" he continued IN
his mood of gentle raillery. Now
if YOU had asked me about either
women or rivers when I was-say
twenty, I'd have been positive IN
nv conclusions. I knew practical
ly everything at that age"
"Indeed?"
..Oh. yes, indeed! At that time
I had divided women and rivers
each into two or three categories.
I knew, of course, how to handle
them all. But now, with thirty
behind me, we'll" he lifted his
brows and made a gesture with his
hands to indicate abysmal ignor-
ance. Then he grinned at her in
a way that made fun of himself
and of all serious subjects under
the sun. 1t was a whimsical grin,
so infectious that Denny respond
ed, and they stood looking at each
other in sudden good-fellowshlp.
Shouldn't we dance this?" he
suggested. "Boom'S surprising
himself and for your benefit,
Miss Keith. He learned that waltz
from our latest phonograph rec
ord" He held out his arms.
Denny, going into them, eXper-
fenced a sensation of surrender.
To her surprise this lounging riv-
erman was astonishingly light on
his feet. They danced together,
with that buoyant ease which
darkness lends to activities out of
doors.
The incongruity of sensuous, So
phiSticated waltz music breathing
through the wilderness dark add
ed a peculiar poignancy to her
moccaSin- footed lightneSS.
As ali sense of reality gave way
before the magic of the night, she
knew an exquisite emotion of
woodland happiness; a clean,
faunlike kinship with Nature and
with the blond man who held her
so deftly, so impersonally in his
firm arms. She closed her eyes
and gave herself up wholly to his
guidance.
But as they danced on silently
among the dim trees, there came
to her an awareness of the mans
physical proximity, and of the
strange pagan touch in him, and
the lean, muscular grace of his
body moving with hers. 1t was a
sensation new to her and, after a
while, disturbing.
She opened her eyes to find that
he had led her across the grove
almost to the outer curve of the
starlit river, cleaning indistinct-
ly between the cottonwoods ahead.
As they reached the bank the
music ceased and he let his arms
drop from her. They stood slightly
apart, regarding each other - a
slim, dark girl in yellow; tall
blond man in a soft-collared shirt
and white trousers.
He said casually, II knew you'd
dance like this when I watched
you this afternoon walking the
deck. You're rather wonderful,
Denise Keith"
Denny was not quite pleased by

SYNOPSIS

According to the terms of her
fathers will, Denise Keith. a
young San Francisco sociahte,
must visit his hunting lodge, Riv-
er House. on the Stikine River, IN
Tarnigan. Canada, before dlspos-
ing of it. Larry Keith, an outfit
ter for big game hunters, loved the
place and had lived there alone
for years because his selfish, pam
pered wife, Sylvia, refused to
spend even one month a year
there. When ne would not give 1t
up. she divorced him and remar-
ried. Aboard Captain Revelry
Bourne's Stikine Maid enroute to
Tarnigan. Denny meets a varied
lot of individuals enroute to RlV-
er House for the hunting season.
Among them are DR.. Pool Van
Cleve, who is suffering from a
nervous breakdown; Rio CareW,
wealthy divorce: Derek Haskell.
Larry's half-breed guide, with
whom Rio is enamoured, and Harp
MacFarlane, the foreman OF
River House. Harp had spoken
about the treachery of the Stl-
kline, praiSing Bourne'S skill as a
navigator, saying he was swift to
see and lightning to act. Although
Harp's praise had prejudiced Den
nv against Bourne, there was
something about the blond cap
tain which attracted her, even
though she preferred dark men
like her fiance, Murray Hart.
Shortly after passing the Canad-
ian border, the Maid ties up on
the bank for the night. All on
board go ashore to dance. From
her stateroom door. Denny over
hears Bourne talking with Jack
Page. owner of the Taku Wind,
anchored a short distance away.
Page had broken an agreement
between his father and Bourne'S
to stay away from the Stikine rlY-
er as there was only business
enough for one boat Bourne Of
fers to buy Page out or gamble for
the rights on the river, but Page
refuses. It's war then?" asks
Bourne. Business that's all, )" Page
replies. Denny was expecting some
excitement, but Bourne placed his
hand on Pages shoulder, saying.
Let her ride as she looks. Come
along and join our party" Denny
felt contempt for Bourne for sub
mitting to Page and Indignation
against the latter. She went
ashore so intent on the situation
that she did not see Van Cleve and
collided with him. Without word
he gathers her in his arms, kisses
her and stalks off. Denny is out
ragged, but Gains down shortly at
tributing his strange behavior to
his illness. At the party, Page i'm
mediately attaches himself to
Denny and he too kisses her. She
is furious. Shortly after. Bourne
approaches Denny and speaks to
her for the first time. When she
chides him for his apparent ne
glect. he responds that he was
aware of her every moment but
was busy studying the river. To
her ironical question. Did you
acquire any new ideas from your
study?" he answers, II merely
confirmed what previous observa-
tionS have indicated-that unless
a mans dealing with obvious
shadows. he never can tell from
a smooth surface what he may
find in the depths"
