SLAPS CAPTAIN OUT OF BOAT
Valiant Southampton Veterans Have
Excitirg Time When They Go to
Assistance of Brothers Who
Had Caught Whale
Southampton— For the second time
in two weeks fishermen took to their
bouts and went out after a whale
They hud him hooked too and if
the dura thing hadn’t up with its tall
and knocked Cup’n Silas Eilwurds out
of the boat just as he was ubout to
spear it there might even now be a
dead whale on the beach
The whale wus sighted by Captain
Frank H White the sea-bitten old
mariner who tends the life saving sta-
tion here When he first saw the
whale it was about two miles off shore
and moving out to sea with the Cooper
brothers from Water Mill
As a mutter of fact the Cooper
brothers had caught the whale Thu
only trouble was that having caught
it they didn't know whut to do with
It
It was some time earlier in the day
that the Cooper brothers hud seen the
whale and started out In their little
motor bout to capture it They had
with them a In nee bomb gun an in-
strument highly recommended for
whale hunting This gun Is supposed
to save wear and tear on the animal
by exploding a charge inside it and
thereupon rendering It more or less
hors de combat
Starts for Somewhere
So the Cooper brothers went after
the whale nnd had the good fortune
to be In excellent firing position a n
moment when It saw fit to come to
the surface to blow the water out of
Its nose
‘Thar she blows !” yelled the Cooper
brothers who had taken a correspond-
ence course In whale hunting and
hang! off went the lance bomb gun
The lance struck the whale squarely

No such explosion happened The
fishermen waited aud waited All in a
wink the whufe started for somewhere
Aud the Cooper brothers having
lodged their harpoon securely In the
whale found themselves accompany-

They tried reversing the engine In
the hope thnt by so doing they might
convey to the whale their lack of in-

The Cooper -brothers then tried to
Increase the speed of the boat so that
they might overtake the whale and ex-
plain the situation which In a word
was this:
The line connecting the bont with
the whale was taut and the fishermen
could not free themselves As fast as
their boat went the whale went faster
There was nothing to do but admire
the scenery as It passed them

BIG GOLD VEIN

As In Ihe olden times the dew to
the find Is carefully guarded but it
Is known to oe within fifty miles It
Nelson and near the lake — which nar-
rows the field of speculation guessers
ore busy
Old-time prospectors believe it must
be the vein discovered by two pros-
pectors many years ago round Kus-
knnook way whose very names other
than sobriquets are forgotten but It
Is recalled that they took $12000 out
of their claim In two months and “did
it In” rloiously One of them was
killed In a gamblers' quarrel at Kus-
kanook The other stole nn Indian's
squaw ta the Crow’s Nest and fell by
right of vengeance to the red man’s
rifle Tom Proctor after whom the
town of Proctor is named was to have
been his partner but himself died be-
fore a deal was struck So the Whole
transaction was blotted out and even
the source of the gold faded into the

scene the whale hnd Its mind on some-
thing other than additional whule hun-
ters so they were able to get up close
to it They even circled around once
looking for a soft spot for the lance
they Intended to toss into It
Then steadying himself in the bow
of the boat Cap’n Edwards rose to the
best of his slxfy-flve years of ability
and stood posed with a long lance in
his hnnd ready to end everything
Just at this moment however the
whale came out of Its reverie and
smacked the bow of the boat a gentle
tap with Its tall Cap’n Edwards be-
ing In the bow of the boat he was
next seen struggling In the water and
yelling for some one to take him out
The Cooper brothers made use of
the momentary respite to loosen their

their attention to rescuing Cnp’n Ed-

for Closing Plant
London— Because of the small de-
mand for clay pipes nowadays Ti
George & Co of St Jude’s Bristol
who have made such pipes for de-
cades decided to close down The
last batch of clay pipes was baked In
their kiln recently
Fifty years ago clay pipe making
was the staple Industry In the St
Jude’s district but the 14 firms then
engaged In It are no more
Three generations of the George
family saw the kiln lighted for the
last time Up to twenty years ago
the firm had a big South African trade
the pipes being used by European
traders to barter with natives for
their ivory gold and other treasures

William
Captain Jackson explained that Mrs
Menges was Introduced to the king of
Albania at Monte Carlo In 1913 by
King Constantine of Greece whom she
was entertaining at her villa there
She had met King Constantine through
Prince de Lynan formerly a member
of the Austrian embassy at Washing-
ton to whom she hnd been Introduced
by her husband MnJ Arthur Hill of
Englnnd
“Prince William renewed his ac-1
qunintnnce with Mrs Menges at the
Hotel Continental In Paris” said Cap-
lain Jackson “nnd borrowed 500000
francs from her then”
“Don't think me too easy” broke In
Mrs Menges' “You see he watched
me win CO 000 francs gambling at
Monte Carlo and living In a big villa
there nnd nil thnt sort of thing nnd
lie thought I hnd millions to burn
“He promised to pay It ail In a
year” Captnin Jackson added “He
also promised to make Mrs Menges
the unofficial amhnssador of Albania
nt Paris nnd said he would help her
enlist the aid of continental police in
finding jewels she lost In America”
“Have you a receipt from Prince
William?” Mrs Menges was asked
“You can't ask n king for an L O
U you know flint” she replied
the lost vein and the idea Is growing
In Nelson that the two trappers have
found It
This history ringing ns nn echo of
an almost forgotten past has stirred
Kootenay prospectors more than any-
thing which has hnppened in the last
two years The report however is
unimpeachable and Is Indorsed by
