the NarcissnS.
There is now an unfortunate gap in the
narrative. This is because Ronnies memory
fails completely as of that awful moment when
he saw Breeze climb over the rail and then ad-
vance toward him along the deck. Skipping to
the point where Ronnie's awareness OF things
resumes. his first sensations were those OF
extreme discomfort. He was cold. Bitterly cold.
And filled with aches and pains His head 1t
seemed. was being pounded by mighty ham
mers 1t took him several seconds to realize that
he was lying on the deck of the NdrcisSnS beside
the wheel, and that the schooner was enveloped
in a gray, wet fog. Her engine was silent. The
only sound was the slight creaking of the masts
as the schooner rolled on the long swells that
rose and fell CLASSIFY under her. Ronnie noaned
softly in his misery. craWled toward the cabin

mysteriously warm in the cabin as he stumbled
down the companionway ladder

Ronnie started. The voice came from the
dim recesses of the other side of the cabin
There was nothing cordial about it. In fact. it
had distinct edge of sarcasm Ronnie peered
in the general direction from which it came and
by and by was able to see into the shadows of a
built in berth Looking at him were two frosty
blue eyes under a mop of dlsheveled red hair
The rest of Breeze Oliver was under a blanket

A laugh answered him. A short harsh laugh.

Very carefully Ronnie sat down on the edge
of a berth on the other side of the cabin from
Breeze He groaned as he held his head in his
hands and tried to remember After moment
he looked over at Breeze again.
Did you say good morning.
Just figure OF speech, she answered. Its
morning but there isn't anything good about it.
Unless you happen to lie down and die. | was
hoping you might last night. but you had too
much anti-freeze in you.
"Oh." said Ronnie. He thought for a mo-
ment more Where are we?"
Breeze sat up She kicked the covers off and
Ronnie saw that she was fully dressed in heavy
wooen slacks and turtle neck sweater.
Where are weo" she echoed. Somewhere
east of Montauk Out in the Atlantic
As these words penetrated slowly into
Ronnie's throbbing consciousness his jaw
sagged. He gulped once or twice.
AT - Atlantic9 How .. . how did We get
there"
Breeze's lip curled by the simple process of
coming straight out the Sound. But don't ask
me why 1t was your idea. l tried to stop you

Con- tinuing his discussion, Duker claim ed that statute would nevr eliminate the liquor evil. Using as a case in point the village of Yakutat, he said: Tn this village, where liquor is illegal there are 21 bootleggers The solution lies in enforcement rather than new law Seven bootleg gers were indicted from the village and conviction against only one Indian woman was secured"

The white man gets drunk and 1t is one white man that is criticized, the Indian gets drunk and it is all Indians that are criticized"
 President of the Douglas Camp and A.NB. Sandy Stevens in viz orous colorful language denied to the white people the privilege of taking away from Indians, rights which they would permit to alien Chinamen He declared for the in- justice of allowing, "an unnatural ! ized resident to step up to a bar with a sack over his back and buy liquor while I, working citizen who fought with United States Army is forced to watch them enjoy privil- eges more rightfully mine" Step- | ping down from the platform.

Three bills of minor importance were passed by the Senate today T a brief morning session, at which

 The new bill, Senate bill No. 31. by Roden, would refund to the town of ocrt Alexander $750 from the Ter itorjal Treasury as the towns share 3f liquor licenses on which fees were paid early in 1888 before the town was incorporated.

LAB0YTEAUx LIQUOR BILL
 CRITICIZED
Alaska Native Brother hood Claims that Dis-
 elimination in Act
LABOYTEAUx LIQUOR

LABOYTEAUX LIQUOR r
 At the mass meeting held at the First Presbyterian Church last night by the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood in pro- test of the now pending Senate bill No IT, prohibiting the safe of liquor to Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts, re- solution was passed condemning the measure and advocating substitution of a bill providing liquor system patterned after the permit system and Territorial controlled liquor stores as used now in British Col umbia The attendance taxed the capacity of the church.
 The resolution was enacted after a series of speeches by members of the Territorial Legislature and mem bers of the Brotherhood and Sister hood.
 Discussion on the legal aspects of the debated bill, which is sponsored by Senator c. H. LaBoyteaux of the Fourth Division, was stalemated to a certain degree by announcements of Senator Henry Roden, who in a speech at the meeting claimed the LaBoyteaux measure was probably superfluous on the strength of a Federal statute enacted by, Congress last June. This Congressional law, seemingly new information to a number of authorities, stipulates that liquor shall not be sold to In- dians who have received land from the government, who are under the guardianship of any United States Department, or who are wards of the Government. According to Senator Roden these specifications include many Indians in Alaska.
 Opinion Awaited
 Opinion of the Solicitor Gener- al of the Department of the Inter for has been requested and pending it's arrival the LaBoyteaux bill will be buried in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 Succeeding discussion evolved from the law angle of the bill and branch ed into the unphrased topic of dis crimination against the Indians.
 Impassioned pleaders arose from the floor to present the case ot the Indian vs. the White Man.
 Not the least of the dramatic pleas voiced at the gathering, were those of A. P. Walker, Territorial Repre- sentative from Craig, and Capt. J. V. Davis Territorial Representative from Juneau. Walker in his speech to the assembly said: "All citizens are equal under the law and if In- dians are citizens to them should go the same privileges accorded the white man"
