Winter Steamer . communication

By I.l".I..

In 1873 when P. E. Island enter- ed Confederation, one of 9 claims of the people was for con- tinuous unioatlon with the rest of Canada. In an endeavour to carry out this agreement the Dominion Government made a start in the winter of 1874 by the placing of a small steamer called the 'Albert" in the eervice.

This steamer. inadequate to buck the heavy ice in the gig-gm Wh-3011 at time. ranted from 15 to 25 feet in thickness was almost a failure and after two winters. trials were abandoned and no fur- ther effort made until 1876.

In that year a contract was given to a firm at Quebec for construc- tion of the first ice-breaker. This steamer was 144 ft. long. 25 ft. In width and 16 ft. in depth of hold, constructed of heavy hardwood timber. was of 393 tons and pew- ered by a compound surface can- densing engine of 120 h.p. and was named the "Northem Light." She took up the service in the winter of 1876-77 between Georgetown and Pictou. In the early part of the winter she proved of good service making regular trips daily. Later as ice -begal"I'IB heavy, trips became more irregular and there would be long periods in which no trips would be made at all.

These conditions continued from winter to winter. In 1879 there were no trips from January 15 till the first week in February. Not being able to enter Piciou an effort was made to land at Wal- lace. but this boat was unable to do so and when returning to Georgetown on February 23 she broke one of the outer bearings of the shaft and was out of com- mission for the balance of win- ter.

v 0

In 1880 conditions were as in previous years. Good in the early part. of winter the boat was of- ten unable to cross for as long as a month at a time.

In 1881 the "Northern Light" became caught in the ice on Janu- ary 2i and did not get back to Georgetown until February id. when she was laid up until March 25. From this date service was fairly good,

In 1882 she was unable to make any va ing: from February 4 to March . These conditions continued from winter to winter until 1888 when the "Northern Light" was declared unfit for further service and was withdrawn from service.

During the winter of 1888-87 when she was unable to operate

to tie In at Sourls. one of the Newfoundland sealing steamers, the Nentune". was placed in the service. early in the season. Work. mg in conjunction with the ltlorthern Liahi" this boat made 19 -round trips from December ii to February 3 when heavy ice forced her withdrawal. The steamer "Landsdowne", of V the Lighthouse service. was tried but being found unsuitable was soon withdrawn. 0 C 0

. In 1888 a -con-tract was given a Shipyard in Scotland for the bluldugs of a heavy reinforced steel ice breaker and in winter 1839-90 the "Stanley" took up the service.

With much heavier power and built with a runner stem which would run up on top of ice. thus breaking ii: down the "Stanley" was able for years to give a much better service; but often there Wefe Periods of more than a week in which no trips could be made.

In 1900 a much are powerful Sieilmef. the "Mintde, was placed on the route. She was of the same build as he 'Stanley", and with the two steamers the service was much improved although there would often be days when neither steamers could make the crossing.

In 1902. It the opening of win. Iter season. the "Stanley" was placed on the Summeraide-.Tor- mentlne service. and made a to. fill of 47 round trips. in 1903 she W88 888”! Placed in this service.

In 1905 one of the worst win- ters for ice in many years. the service was interrupted from January 27 to late in March when very few crouings were made.

Conditions such as outlined above continued each year up to 1909, when 'a larger and more powerful steamer, the "Earl Grey", was placed on the Georgetown- Charlottetown - Pictou route. with the iStanley" at Summeraide in the early part of the winter and the "Ml-nto" on the Georgetown- Pictou routes. From this period until 1915, when the carferry "Prince Edward Island" look up the service, crossings were fair- ly regular.

in 1915, on arrival of the car- ferry. the "Earl Grey" was sold to Russia. followed by the 'Minto"

The 'Prince Edward Island". which was used only as a standby ship while the "Charlottetown" was running. again took up the service until replaced by the new and powerful Icebreaker the MV "Abegwelt."

During the time the "Prince Ed- ward lsland" and '0hariottetown" were runnlng.- daily communica- tion was almost regular although oftentimes they would only be able to make one round trip each day.

in the early years when com- munication was badly interrupted. mail service was carried on by the ice boats, between Tormentine and Cape Traverse.

There were strongly constructed wooden boaafs about 18 feet long, equipped with runners. They were hauled by a crew of men with atra.ps.'they were also equipped with sail which was used when open water was met. Passenger. were also carried. at their own risk. One could alao pay a small charge and help haul the boots or a much larger charge if one cared to sit in the boat.

CHINESE WHITE by Burgess: Drake; British Book Service (Can-l ada) Ltd; 32.25. ' This remarkable book is a Book society Recommendation. and the author was a Major in the British Intelligence Service in wartime China. He explainr that he has drawn on his experiences for the material of his novel, though the book is not documentary but fic- tion. The background. he writes, is true in detail and essentials. but the incidents are fictional and the characters imaginary. It is hard to' think so when one is reading the; story, which is so different from the average romance. For Chinese white is a love story, complicated though it may be. some of this is explained inside the front cover. A! statement says: "There are many kinds of recognition betwee. spirltf and spirit. There is the recognition, of friend and friend, of lover and lover: and without the bond of blood there is also the recognition of father and daughter."

Mr. Drake has used an easy con-i veyance for his work. He has used an army major as his male charac- ter, giving his novel an autobiogra- phical touch. The major is fifty and experienced in the ways of the world. In his work of tracking down the leakage of valuable informa- alion it is necessary for him to go from Chungking to listen. This has to be done by plane but there was, passage only for privileged persons! or those with established acthority. The major-'s struggle to obtain a seat in a plane is a revelation of the graft and ineptitude and in- difference that lost the war for China. The major wins at last but is largely the work of a young Chinue dancing girl, the Little White One.

The girl is but sixteen yet she develops a great love for the man older than her father, and she serves him with amazing devotion and self-sacrifice. Her actions show the reader what might be done with this great race it the right influences could be used. The au- thor pictures her as lovely as the flowers she embmiders on the beautiful robes she wears in the theatre. He portrays her as being unusually intelligent and so clever is the writing that before long the reader is in love with this eifin

lcal Chinese character. He plays a few minor parts at the theatre but in the main lives on the pro- ceeds of gifts bestowed on The Little One by admirers. She must. according to custom, obey her father in his every wish. though each wish and whim is entirely selfish and compels her to do things she detests. i There is a tense scene when the major arrives near the home of

He is baffled when the girl does not show any shame at his having heard her screaming filth and tear- ing at her father with her nails. but it is the way of China. and he asks her to go out with him. She is animated at once. Outside, the crowd which had listened to the quarrel were then gathered to watch a bully beat an over-loaded donkey.
