Amazing Voyages Aboard Girl Pal Reclleil Ab‘ Book

Nillw YORK. March l3 —(CP)— Cont. Dod Orsborne says he was a British intelligence agent when he earned his reputation as a pirate and sailed the Girl Pat acroq the Atlantic.

The adventure-hunting soldier cf fortune tells the story oi his aimaz- ing voyage and other adventures in s book entitled "Master of the Girl Pat" (Doubleday). published here recently.

- It is a description of espionage. sabotage. pearl-hunting, s, sadari to kill s truncating tiger. warfare and escape from a. Japanese prison- camip through s river full of crocodiles.

But Orsbornes story of the Girl Pat is the highlight for Canadian readers who rrirrtember tho epic voyage. It began, he says. as his second trip for British naval intel- ligcnce. The first had taken him through the Mediterranean before the Spanish civil war gan. He tells 0i blowing up some Italian planes destined for France, which put him in wrong with both Ital- ians and the Spanish fascists. lIc says he got. in wrong with the French by dumping over-board some rifles also headed for the Franco forces. On the way home he was jailed by suspicious Spaniards at Corcublon, on the Atlantic coo-st, but broke jail and escaped.

"I was much too impulsive and much too inclined to get into trouble and in get well known to ever become s really good agent." Oraborne admits. Hg had to argue hard to get a new assignment. His orders were to go to Gibraltar, virith no landings en route. '

l

Disobeyed Orders

Instead, he went baa’: to Cor- cublon. tricked the Spanish count who had arrested him into giving him money and supplies to help Franco, then sailed south along the African coast." A Spanish con- sul opposing Franco paid him to blow up a. railway bridge near Sail, in French Morocco. Orsbome says he was told the lino was being built with German capitol, so Franco's troops could be moved qudtakly from the Spanish Sahara to Morocco for an invasion of Spain.

Exports Via gliail Up. Imports Down lasi Monih _

A considerable drop in last moth! imports to the‘ Province compared with those of February 1948, is indicated by tlu statement from the Charlottetown offlc, of the C.N.R. superintendent of car- loads ferried between Caps Tor- mentlno and Borden.

Exports show an increase with February of last year. potatoes showing an increase of 210 carloads. In the following table. 194B totals will follow those of 1949.

Imported oarlosds of autos: 19 and 16; a decrease in coal with 116 and 240; fruits l0 and 1.1; flour and feed. 109.206; fertiliser is low this year with 33 compared to 112 last year; gas and oils are up with 95 and 75; no hardware was imported compared to 1'1 carlosdrlsst year; lime is reduced to one third with

explosion, to meet another British agent was almost his undoing. One of his crew deserted and tipped the French authorities that Orsborne was "Le Capitaine Solitaire," the nickname the French gave him. Only a storm saved the . Girl Pat. Shg was hit one by a French naval shell before the gale hid her 1mm pursuing ships.

The crewman wlho deserted hsd left no compass or charts aboard. There was no fuel and little food. By the time the storm ended Ors- bome and his mates-Hector Har- ris, Ginger Stephens, and his brother. Jlmimlo Osborne-were 500 miles southwest of Dakar.

He sailed westward instead of back to Africa. he said. because the trade windswould speed him across the Atlantic. He estimated the trip at two weeks. Actually 1i “wk 16 days to Devil's island. BY mil’ time Orsboma and the crew were too weak to stand and sailed the boat by crawling on hands and knees.

Sequel to the trip month sentence at Wormwood Sgrtpbbd, the London prison. Ors- bomg. infers he wouldn't have been tried if the Admiralty Cflilld hill/e admitted it had any wflmcm" with him.

The last few chapters of Ors- borntfs books is largely devoted to an unsuccessful effort he made af- fgr the second World War to e611 again across the Atlantic from "l" in west-He and a 591111“) imw‘ away who sneaked aboard his litile Lqvgly ‘Igdy while she wlas in La oomm (01- wpplles got only within 1,300 miles of North America before being picked up. starvi-“S and W‘ tend, by s United States neighbor.

liquor Continues To Cause Trouble Among Indians

(By The Canadian Press) ALBERT BAY, B.C-, March l3 —Ths red m n is still getting his fire-water. Polce say he's being exploited today as he was years I80 by unscrupulous white men, greedy for the Indians’ money. w. Todd, Indian superintendent of the Kwawkewlili Agency, said today bootlegliquor is "the root of all the trouble among Indians." It is "adversely affecting their welfare in every respect." Rum-running in high -powered speedlboats has made this Indian nailing village in the heart of British Columbia's coastal wilder- ness "nothing but s. cesspool." first indication of the situation as Ailbert Bay, about 200 miles northwest of Vancouver, came back from the Iiegislatttlre where I-LJ. Welch (Coalition-Comm) ap- pealed for a police boat to halt" urn-running. He also sought es- tablishment of s liquor store here. Ho said local residents (there. are about 600 whites here) must order their liquor by mall from Vancouver. Consequently liquorwas being brought in by bootleggleru in fleet apeedboats-remlniseerit of A1 Capone's “whidirito fleet" of the prohibition era.

All business arising from ths correspondence received, was dis- cussed and dealt with in "accord- mce with the erdgency of flag mot- M‘. while proposed programs eman- stlng from national headquarters. designed to further the policy of the League, will be given careful consideration and study. The March number of “The Canadian League". contains articles concern- ing foreign missio-ns, apostolate of civic action, and immigration pro- gram. A study of these by mem- bers ls deemed advisable to in- sure the necessary understanding and err-operation.
