We are well aware of the tact that

information may be furnished tne Prosecutor which he may not consid- ,er sufficient to act upon; that the ‘information may be too vague for legal proceedings. We are not un- rnindlul of the fact that there are two* sides to every story. We have for

several months been receiving, by' personal interviews, by letters, pri- vate and for publication, one side of the story. That side told of persist- ent, uninterrupted, shamelessly open violation of the Prohibition Act. We. have endeavored, concurrently with

HAZARDOUS TRIP.

Sir:-I have just read in your ps-

per that you had received an issue of the Islander newspaper published hy the late John Inge inthe year 1852 giving an account of many events which |1811 718-KB!! Place at the time of its date-60 years ago. Perhaps one thing of most interest to the present generation is to learn that the mails _were only carried across the Straits in winter time once a week from Cape Traverse to Cape Tormentine and only on very rare occasions did the boats cross at Other times. That being the case passengers had to be very punctual on time at the starting of the boats at either side to pre- vent delay oi a week in crossing. In this connection quite a unique and noteworthy event came under my ob- servation. In the month of February, 1852, I was' at Cape Tormentine and the boat with mails left one day at- 2 mm. and when about a mile or so 'rom land fi man arrivedto take pas- sage and was much disappointed in` finding that the boat had started for the Island shore. I-Ie gazed at it in the distance with a wistful eye, as it was fast disappearing. and hesitated a few minutes before putting foot on`\ ':oard ice, when suddenly be -wrenched a stake from the fence and started in the direction of the boat which he could not hope to overtake. I with others watched him until he had dis- appeared in the mists of the evening and were surprised to learn by 'the next boat coming to Tormentine that he had crossed safely, independent of the boats, which feat had never been accomplished up to that time, and I think only once since then. This man was familinrly known as Rustico Tameron, whom some of the old peo- izle of the Island may remember.

PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPOSURE

RECORD AND DIARY 1913.

To boil ‘down into one handy pocket

volume the accumulated photographic wisdom of the year and of preceding years is a work of signal utility and one which should win the gratitude of all photographers. Such a task has been accomplished in the 1913 Edition of the "Wellcome" Photographic Ex- posure Record which is just publish- ed. Among its most. novel features are the descriptions of new methods of toning prints green and blue, by the use of "Tabloid" Toners, which act selectively, leaving the high
