W. to N. E., blowing away sails to a large extent. The crew beeame exhausted from pumping, and had to put the vessel to the wind and get tc the nearest southern port. Oa the 26th of March made the land ahead, which proved to be Caicos Island. The vesse] leaking badly and straining, the crew were forced to put the boat adrift, and all hands were saved, although not mach of their dothes. At the time when the boat was put adrift they were about nine miles from land and were about seven hours in the boat. The vessel was manned by foreigners, except Capt. Suttis and Mate Herbert Harris, of this town. Mr. Harris told the story to the Sun corres. podent, and said after reaching Caicos Island he stayed there two days and an cqual num. ber of nights, after which he proceeded - to Tark's Island, thence by steamer to New 2 ork,

Another Unfriendly Act

ON THE PART OF UNCLE SAM TOWARDS CANADA,

Another case of unfriendly action on the part of the United States has just been brought to the attention of the Minister of Trade and Commerce, For a number of years past the tourist business to Alaska was carried on exclusively by United States’ vessels. The custom was to make Tacoma or Seattle the starcing point, then call at Victoria, B. C., after which the vesse! pro- ceeced to Alaska. The vessels generally too’ the inside route,that is the water lying between Vancouver Island and the main. land of British Columbia, running into the mouths of rivers and bays off our coast for the purpose of allowing tourists to observe the differents points cf interest. Two years ago the Canadian Pacific: Navigation Company, the boats of which ply princip ally between Vancouver, Victoria and Sound ports, placed a fine steamer, the Islander, on the route between Victoria and Alaska. The venture has been a paying one, a large number of American artists preferring to make the trip in a splendidly equipped and modern Canadian vesse! rather than in the older boats of the American line. Evidently the success which the Islander has met with has aroused the jeelsusy of the opposition company. Cx liector Milne, at Victoria, re- ports to Hon. Mr. Boweli that the collector of customs at Sitka has issued a notification that the Islander wiil this season not be al- lowed to visit the points of interest cff the coast of Alaska, thus depriving the Islander of @ privilege corresponding to that which the Americans have er jyed in vur waters for many years. The collector at Sitka states that he is acting on the authority of the Treasury Department at Washington. As there has been reciprocity in those mat- ters for many years, Mr. Bowell has thought it well to communicate with Sir Julian Pauncefote, in order that he may ascer- tain whether the collector at Sitka is acting merely of his own whim or whether the order was issued from Washing- ton. Ifthe United States Government has really decided on prohibiting our vessels from coasting in Alaeka waters, it would seem but reasonable on the part of the Canadian Gov- erpment to eiiiens the privilege which American vessels hive hitherto enjoyed. In the event of the steamers of the American company being compelled to make the trip to Alaska by the outer route, that is paszing along the west eoast of Vancouver Island, it will practically ruin their business, as the rough water and the prospects of a mal de mer will be a great deterrment to tourists. The trip by the inside route is comparatively land locked water.

Wouldn't be Taken Alive. | TWO BROTHERS SUSPECTED OF BURGLARY DEFY ARREST.

A rather sensational story comes from the island of Grand Manan. It seems that two brothers, named Danbar, who were not of good character, were suspected of several acts of burglary at Castalia. They were supposed to have visited the place by boat, it being their native place. and to have earried off their booty to another neighbor- hood. One night they were seen at Castalia, and the people arose and went after them. They were eventual'y penned up on a point of land, where they stood at bay, refusing to be taken alive. After the brothers had opened fire on the populace, the shooting became generalon both sides. George Dunbar received a charge of buckshot. The brothers finally broke and ran for their father’s farm, where, after the fashion of Wilkes Booth, they defied the authorities. Eventually, however, George, believiag himself mortally wounded, gave himself up. The other brother was found on Saturday. George is hardly expected to live.
