WINTER COMMUNICATION,

Sin,— What wasthe Petrel sent for? I venture to say it was not fur P. E, Island interests. If Davies was sincere to | Isla+d pronle, why did he not put in her a captain, cflicers and crew that had some experience in ice? If she was a powerfal boat we conid not have expected much from at the first with such a crew. Batt’s tug is far 8uperor to ber inice or so there was no occasion for brir ging a boat from fhe lakes for P. E. Island com- munication. I think the Island should be patronized first.

And the Stanley, manned by a green crew, we may say, ever since the conserva-~ tives officers aud crew were driven out and some dischanged, has done nothing. Last winter she never got into Pictou; thie winter it Jooks as if she is not g to get to Georgetown. She arrived ott Georgetown on Thursday the 3rd Febru- ary and did not leave until Tuesday the Sih. It takes fivedays to load and dis. charge her, work that used to be done ia hours and often in two. hours.

Certainly she is £0 many miles cff Georgetown wharf- say 5 miles. Panmure Island is 34

miles from wharf, and she can’t be 34 more miles out. Her cargo has to be tauled | this distance; but we kuow thereare lots of | horses in King’s County, so there cannot be any excuse for being so long at it. When this boat arrives at Georgetown at 10 a. m., why dosnt she go back to Pictou right | awav, sav yive her one hour and a half to | un owd afaii cargo. Why bas she no: 200 | or 300 toas of coal in ber? Simply be- C.use ILis® piece of mismanagment all through. They say she must go across the | Atlantic for repairs next summer. It only took three months from t'me of giving of

contract at Gla-gow until she was finish-

ed and on her way to Pictou, N. 8. In

the summer of 1896 it took about three | months repairing her, and in summer of | 1897 all summer. What did she do in

winter of 1897 to cause 81x months repair ? Ic is something new to the public if it takes | twice as much time to reparr this boat as to build her, that every six months, and even Oftener wauts turee weeks laying-up, and in the winter wants more repairs? The day will arrive when all this will be ex-

sed.

The public are made to believe by the action of the captain that she is nct strong or powerful to run througa ice, ‘he Princess went through without a stoppage, aud when the Princess reported that there was no ice worth speaking of, she reported rightly. The people of Wood Islands, Fiat River and Point Prim have eyes as well as the people ot the Stanley. Our mothers are disturbed in the night time to attend on their children, and why does this boat le atthe wharf day after day and night after night and allow the track in the harbor to get thicker? The distance across to Pictou is avout fifty miles. The Stan'ev steams about }5 miles ap hour, she lies

for the construction and interior com- pletion of a church at Tracadia, P.E.L. | Foundation being built. Tenders | will also be received for exterior co™- pletion of same—all the material be- ing supplied,

out in the straits, and.when the ice opens with the change of the tides, which is every six hours, the engineers get orders to get up steam. When they are ready a half hour is gone, which means seven miles Jost ; and very often when ready the ice is cloved. ‘The boat should be ready at all times if managed righuy. This is not the eugine r’s fault, as he gets his orders from the captain. If they had about three bundred tons ot coal ia her they need not be frightened of a shortage ot cual, aad

Itis a sure thing we are never going to bave summer here In winter time; and in winter time we “ant ® man with plenty of grit, not fright- ened of a few dark cloude, snow flakes, or a little ice, and who will say “this must be done.” Until we get such @ man, it matters not if we get a boat that will go through twenty-five feet of ice, we shall mever have proper communica- tion. It is past the age to take four days un- loading and loading about seven carsof freight. If the captain was paid by the trip, instead of by the month, we would probably bave more trips. The Stanley bas time and again gone to Pictou in 3) hours with only three miles of ice outside Pictou Lighthouse and remained in Pictou that day and several more days with clean, clear water to Georgetown

wharf, with the excep'ion of three miles « f broken ice outside of Pictou harbour. How did she get in, and why could she pot get out? Because it was not tried. Would any ship-owner put up vih the like? 1 The Halifax has been running her: for a good many summers and she always wason time; and she had the foggiest coast, and the most dangerous currents aod snowstorms in the world to contend with, in the Bay of Fundy and the Nova Scotia shore. Itis done because it has to be'done. What kind of communication would the Fall R.ver boat make if they were not to leave Pier 20, North River, New York at 5 p. m. thick or thin, go through Hell gate and soucd and wherethere are hundreds of Ships aud thirty days of thick weather to every two days that we have it thick here, hundred miles With about forty ;—and it can’t be made because you can’t see five or six miles ahead of you. What is the good of compass and lead? You can see Pictou from the Island in clear weather and any lobster boatman could take a vessel to Pictou if the law allowed him. Sextants, chrovomoters and charts are not there i8 no employment for a navigator. Iu the moath of April there is less trouble in getting to Charlottetown than to Georgetown. Say trom last March the prevailing winds are N.E. We have seen the coast from Cariboo to St. Peter’s lsland clear of ice, and the Stanley on the Georgetown route making disgusting commuvication. We have seen one spring especially good for Charlottetown, and the Stanley would not try it, after heing told it was clear, until a heavy S. W. storm came on which caused the ice to block between Point Prim and St. Peter’s Island with Bay Verte ice. Was it good judgement on the part of the Japtain not to try Charlottetown until after a S. W. storm with a moderate south gale blowing? Georgetown is hardest to make with a south-east gal-, Pictou with a north-east gale, and Charlotietown with

Fay no,

a south-wert gale which any mariner ought to know. We don’t

expect shore folks to know; but they are made to believe wrongly. In the first part of the winter it is dangerous running to Charlottetown, One reason is the shortness of the days, and another in- crease in the ice, slow shutting of lights and ice rafting with S. W. wind and you cannot use the lead, and cannot tell where you are drifting or going but that you are mcreapt te be in danger thap out of it. But the boat could run to Charlottetown a few trips later. in the mouth of Apri! running from Pictou to Georgetown is> ridiculous. Long days, north-east winds all that 1s wanted, except one thing. Any sea-faring man knows It is easier to make Charlottetown than Georgetown and the day will come when allthe public will know it, and all this past work will be exposed. And the people have a perfect right to comp'amn when the boat is not running to Chariottetown from the last of March unul the summer boats ran. Although the distance is fifty miles it is fifty shorter 1f managed and pushed. The ice in Hillsborough is stationary but it begins to decay underneath at the last of Mar«h and the sun does the top part and

the Stanley can go through itany time from tbe 20h of Mareh. Ia the next place Caribou Island won’t be so clear,

Mr. Davies is going to start a navy now. If bis navy is like bis winter coumunica- tion been, the enemy need not fear it. Communication has been on tbe mend slowly until Davies took hold of it; and since, as nis reiga rolls by, it is on the downward track, Would the Cunards, the ownere of the Campnia andthe Lucauia discharge all their/Officers and crew at the fame time and replace them by a green crew? If they would, they wonld “have their boats running without @ passenger or any freight, and the captain that would sot have the grit to kick against such treat- ment, would not have the grit to overcome any “iflicultie-, Those new officere, and some of the men on the Stanley are good and capable (we are aluding to the ive W ben Davies was in opposition, he howled; but since he has the handling, is it staiesmanship, bungling or boodling? Davies is the first P. KE. Islander who has had the handling of the business with this excen- tion of a short time when Pope had it twenty years ago. We have to thank Capt. McKiheney, for the good discipline he made at the Capes, although he was only there a shore time. I[f be had been longer with us, the Georg+town route would have bees improved also. The sooner the pnblic knows thatthe Pictou and Georgetown route is the be-t for Jan- uary, February and upto 20th to voth March the sooner the public will be satisti- ed. The next best place at that time is the Cape Tormentine aud Summerside, uot Cape Traverse route. From 20th March until summer boats run the Ciiarlotictown- Pictou route is the best. There is lots of waterin Summerside, The Stanley is only twenty-three feet from keel to top of deck, at the deepest part. Draft in ice is 18i feet, in water 154 feet, so it will be seen there is lots of water in Summerside for her unless she goes in the style ofa torpedo boat. A steamer can be built the style of the Stanley but stronger and heavier that can keep up daily communi- cation, and it matters not about theee dark clouds, The change of tide does the busi- ness. A heavy snow storm of avy dora~ tion wou!d be a big obatacle on account of the snow, but that could be got over. But a enow storm of afew hours duraiion is not eo bad as you would be made to believe it ic, and in the future we think all this nonsense will vanish that a boat can’t run
