An

or Messrs. Mutrarr anp Irvine, tor} many years contractors for the carriage Straits of Nor-

of the mails across the

thumberland during winter, were in town a few days ago. Both bear their years weil, notwithstanding the arduous

labors they have, year after year, per- | formed in behali of the publie. A repre- | Dae Examuner called upon | Irving at the Ravkin House, and | ceived with an open, affable smile which never beams on the countenance of one who is not kind-hearted as well| as brave. The Captain is apparently y years of age, of medium height, and the rigidity of outline which marks a siuewy frame. His face is tanned by exposure to wind and weather, aud bears the marks of pluck, determin- ation aud quick iutelligence, as well as kinduess. Our representative, after makiog inquiries as to the health of the men who escaped uafrozen from the late

terrible adveniure, asked: —

“Have you any idea, Captain, how long the mails have beea carried by the Capes?”

* Mail carrying by the Capes,” said the Captain, ** was begun previous to the year 1827. Boats were not then in use. The service in midwinter, at that time, was performed on foot by a wiry Scotch- man named McRae. He started from Charlottetown with the mails, consisting of despatches from Governor Ready and a few Koglish letters. Arriving at Cape Traverse Le awaited fine weather and favorable ice. Then, crossing the Straits, he proceeded on foot to Amherst, and delivered the mails into the charge of His Majesty’s couriers, who conveyed them to Halifax. Vhe midwinter mail eel vice Was in this way performed until 1527 when a courier named Campbell— who, by the way, died a short time ago at Nine Mile Creek—took charge of the mails at Charlottetown and carried them

right through to Halifax. Campbell inaugurated the iceboat system. [le had

a boat's crew to cross the Straits and remaia at Cape Tormentine umil his return from Halifax. He made monthly trips.”

“When were weekly trips via the Capes begun ? ”’

“| believe weekly trips were first commenced about the year 1830. My

brothers Montague and Phillips were then contractors. They landed weekly mails during the winter months at Cape

Tormentine. These were taken by couriers to Amherst and distributed from that point. The weekly service

was continued until 1861, when Hon. William Pope, then Provincial Secretary, changed them to semi-weekly, and after- wards to tri-weekly mails. This winter mail service was so continued until 1873, wheu the Domivion Government taking charge of the postal arrangements ordered mails to be carried daily across the Straits.”

“Were mails ever carried, Captain, by any other route than the Capes during the winter season ?”

“Yes; hy Wood Islands. That was the recognized winter route up to the year 1528. The Gevernment then found the Capes route safer and more expeditious, ud therefore changed the mails to Cape Traverse. However, for several seasous afterwards, mails were sent by Wood Islands, but after the loss of mary valuable lives that route was abasdoned.”

‘Do you remember avy particulars of the disasters on Wood Islands route ?”

‘I havea faint recollection. Judge Peters, I thiuk in the year 1845, went to Wood Islands en route to the mainland. The weather was stormy and the craft on the route did not appear seaworthy. The Judge returned home, but the couriers attempted to cross. Shortly afterwards their boat was found bottom up. All hands were iost. In the pext disaster, which occurred in 1865, Mr. Roberts, of London, Captain Campbell,of Beltast, and four seamen of Robert Longworth’s brig James, lost their lives. They attempted to cross ip a sail boat from Pictou Island to Woodville.

the Capes route ?

“We have, | think, twelve altogether. ‘These years igo by Judge Peters, aud have not been improved upon.”

“Could you suggest an improvement ?’

“LT eould not; the boats are all that could be desired as regards build, but they are badly equipped. They afford no comforts for boatmen and passenge!’s i All they ensure is safety.’’

“Are they not too cumbersome ?”

“They are heavy; but lighter boats in that service would not stand any time, The boats on the route, I repeat, cannot be improved upon in any way, as regards size, weight, make or build. The only cab suggest 1s proper

**Had you always a dozen boats on the route?”

“No. Uptothe time Hon. L. C. Owen became Postmaster, we had only one boat. At that time the mails were fast increasing. Mr. Owen thev put ov another boat, and we continued with two boats uutil Confederation. The Domiu- ion Government then took charge of the

service aud increased the accommoda- tion.”

“What time does the winter mail service generally commence?”

“Before the Northern Light com-

meneed running eight years ago, we always began to carry mails when the packet or the Steam Navigation Co.’s boats stopped running between Pictou and Charlottetown, which was geverally the middie or last of November. The Northern Light carries the mails via Georgeiown, up to the middle of Janu- ary, when they ere tranferred to the Capes, and continued there until the end of April.”

‘‘What is the longest season you re- member?”

“| think 1876-7 was the lougest season we had. In that year we commenced service the 10th of December, and the mails were transferred to the Pictou steamer about the 17th of May. The shortest season was 1879-80, when the mails were transferred from the Northern Light to the Capes on the 3:d_ of February, and continued then until the first of May: Iu the year 1882, on one oecasion, the mails did not cross for eight days. If you remember, they were transferred from the Capes to the North- ero Light, but after she had started for Pictou his propeller broke and the mails had to be returned to the Capes. At that time the water was clear and cold, a north-east gale prevailed, the gulf ice was blown against the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia shores, and a large stretch of rough sea was left between ihe Island shore and the gulf ice. It was impossible for our iceboats to live in this sea. Had we a powerful tug at Cape Traverse then, we could have crossed the stretch of water every day, land our iceboats on the gulf ice which lined New Bruoswick, and awaited there until they returned again from Cape Tormen- tine. I remember a particular occasion when we were compelled to cross a rough stretch of sea when a tug boat would have helped us immensely. About three winters ago, Dr. Muttart, ex-M.P., Mr. Hackett, M. P., and Senator Mont- gomery, were en route to Ottawa. I crossed with them. The wind was blowing fresh from the south-west, the snow was deep, and we were all day on the gulf. The wind had packed the ice ‘against the Island shore, leaving a large stretch of open sea between us and Cape Tormentive. It was nightfall when we reached the margin of the ice, and the roaring sea presevied a desperately threatening appearance. We could not turn back. We reluctautly launched the iceboat. and after a_ terrible pull landed at Cape Tormentine wet, cold, and famished. Had there been a tug boat at Cape Tormentine to meet us at the margin of the gulf ice and carry us over the rough sea, our passage won!d have been comparatively comfortable.”

‘Is this an unusual occurrence?”

“No; we often meet rough water in this way and are compelled to return, whereas if a tug metus we would have no difficulty making the passage.”

‘Theo you are of opivion, Captain, that powerful steam tugs at the Capes are indispensable to the performance of regular mai! service?”

“1 om.”

‘ Suppose tugs were obtaiued, would

there be avy difficulty in harboring them?!” “Not in the least. You see, a tug

would not be required to move from either Cape unless open water or ‘‘lolly” ice prevented the iceboats from crossing. While the Strai's are full of drift ice the icebouts are equal to the service, and the tugs would remain safely harbored in the board ice.”

“What wird causes the most open water in the Straits? and in case of open water how would you use the tugs ?”

‘1 will explain this as clearly as pos- sible. When the wind blows from the

Harbored in| the board ice they would be as safe as in| a city dock. I am firmly that if a tug was so placed at Cape| ‘Traverse and another at Cape Tormen- tine, we would have uo difficulty in car- rying the mails, unless in exceptionally siormy and cold weather. The tugs would be equal to the difficulty of rough sea and lolly ice, which mostly forms on the Island side of the Straits with a north-east wind, while iceboats, well equipped, would not fail to perform the duty in drift ice.

“When the straits are full of drifting ice, and a strong wind blows, is there much dauger and difficulty ‘n crossing?”

“With a northwest wiud, and the Straits full of running ice, there is no difliculty,—unless it is very cold — coming from Cape Tormentive, because there is a long shore to strike on both sides of Cape Traverse. Going to Cape Tormentine, however, we have to be very careful le t we miss the Cape, be carried into the wide Gulf, and down the Wallace shore. When the wind blows strong from the Northwest, and the ice is good, we generally drive with the ice- boats to Carleton Head—a projection in- to the Gulf three miles west of Cape Traverse—and there wait until: the east tide is done. Theo the opposite, or falling tide,holds the ice against the wind a few hours, and thus afford us an ex- cellent chance to cross. We also take various other advantages of the wind and tide.”’

“You say, Captaia, the iceboats have bo equipment, avd carry no comfort for | boatmep or passengers. Is an _ ontfit really required, and if so, what would you suggest *"

‘‘An outfit is aud has been a great pecessity. A proper outfit for boatmen and passengers would be too cumber some to place in the regular iceboats. A small light boat would be necessary to

|

carry it. As an ootfit I would recommend: (1) An improved oil stove. (2) A stock of pro-

visions, canuved goods, ete. (3) Frost and waterproof boots and clothing for men and passengers; and (4) A strong teut to cover the boats in case we are are over-taken by night and have to re- maioin the gulf. With such an outfit we could live as well in the gulf as on shore, ‘Then if we had tug boats in the service their whistles in case of a storm would serve as a signal for the cuidance of boats in the Straits.”

“Would not the service be better if it were out of the hands of contractors and carried on by the Government.’

“{ am firmly convinced it would be better and more satisfactory if the ser- vice were in the hands of theGovernment and under the superintendence of a com- petent person. At preseut we are paid $12 per trip—$24 per round trip. The men are hired by the season and paid per trip. When they are detained at Cape Tormentiue by storm they pay board, and in a consequence. return home ia debt. They are scattered through the settlemenst—some living three or ‘our miles away,and have to waik to the starting point, Consequently, they seldom arrive on time when a start is to be made, and owing to their abseuce, a crossing is often missed. Sometimes we cannot cross until late in the day, and the men having no place for shelter,stand about in the cold suffering exposure, and so become comparatively unfit for work when they are required to do it.

“But the boathouses now under con- struction will remedy this?”

“Yes, to a certain extent, or as far as shelter is concerned. Unless,” said the Captain, “men are ‘articled’ for the

season, after the fashion of seamen, and maintained in comfortable boathouses, | no satisfaction will be obtained. They. will as usual live at their Lomes, perhaps | five miles away, aod drop along just in time to miss the chance of crossing for the day. But if men were engaged for the season, were articled as seamen, equipped iu the manner [ have stated, and in command of a proper person, they would be ready to start when ordered, and the passengers aod public would uot be compelled to submit to the humbuggiog and waiting they have had to submit to in the past. The boats vould go at a regular aod convenient time, and in this way, and with the tug service, I feel certain the mail service at the Capes could be performed with the same regularity as it is performed in the summer mouths?’

‘How many men aud boats would, io your opinion, Captain, be required to perform this service ?”

“Six boats, with five men to “each boat, besides men for the outfitting boat, are all that would be required to perform

“Then it is your opinion that if the service was in the hands of the Dominion Government; if two powerful tugboats were placed on the route, if the boats were properly equipped, if the boatmen were articled for the season, and if the whole service was superintended by an

The Telephone.

The attendance at the session of the Literary and Scientific Society, on Friday evening ljast, in the Y. M. C. A. Parlor, was quite large, and the array of intelligent gentlemen preseut gave a couple of hours close attention to the reading of Mr. A. E. Morrison’s paper on ‘The Telephone ; what itis, how itis made, and its uses,” avd the discussion which followed. Mr.

| Morrisons paper was replete with informa-

tion respecting this wonderful and useful invention. He described its simple con- struction, and the methods by which it is worked, which he illustrated by detached parts, and a cowplete Telephone apparatus which was in connection with an office in the building, and with the main oflice in town. At the conclusion of Mr. Moerrison’s interesting paper, the President read a couple of extracts from a recent letter of Thomas A. Edison, the great electrician and inventor, in which he showed that Bell was the inventor of the receiving tele- phone, while he, Edison, invented the transmitter which is in use wherever the telephone is worked. Mr. Edison ajso says that the telephone is only now in its infancy ; that the greatest diii culty in leng-disiance telephoning is the loss of current by static induction on the earth and wires in close conjunction, ‘‘If a single wire,” says Mr. Edison, ‘“‘could be placed sufficiently high to amply clear allthe mountain tops, one could whisper around the world with perfect ease ; or if a wire could be stretched from the earth to the moon, the connection would also be ad. quate.” Three hundred miles is there- fore about the longest distance telephonic communication that can now be had; but Mr, Edjson thinks that by means of repeat- ing stations, convereation may be carried on all over the continent.

Mr. R. B. Angus, the special Agent of the Bell Telephone Co., on the Island, fol- lowed with interesting points respecting the invention; and a most animated dis- cussion on sound followed, participated in by Mr. Francis Bain, of West River; Mr. W. A. Weeks, law student; Mr. FP. R. Bowers, Mr. John Newson, Mr. S. A. Peterson, Mr. Alex. McKinnon, Mr. Jas, McDonald, and others The whole de- veloped the fact that what the speakers didn’t know about the subject in hand,

largely overbalanced the actual known facts. How the differeut tones of the

human voice are carried over the wires‘and the speaker recognized by the hearer. dis- tant mauy miles away, is as yet undefined. The great fact remains that such is the cease ; but like many of the mysteries con- nected with electricity and magne'ism, it is unexplained in our limited knowledge of the matter at present ; but as Mr. Newson remarked, it is probable that, in view of the wonderful discoveries recently made, the human mind may yet be enabled to grasp and fully understand what is now mysterious about electricity, generally. chilean caitlin Las sani
