DaILy EDITION.

Monpay, Nov. 13

 

AN APOLOGETIC WORD TO OUR READERS.

A good husband never takes his business troubles home to the bosom
of his family. A good editor never takes his troubles to his readers, who
in this case correspond to the bosom of his family. But at the present
moment, it is due to Daily News readers and to the public at large to
explain that the late appearance the News has made on the streets of recent
afternoons has been due to some mechanical difficulties, which have caused
the entire staff a great deal of overwork and vexation—not to put too
fine a point on it. Every day many items of local news that have been
faithfully reported and written up have failed to see type. We have re-
ceived no complaints from readers, but we fear that the non-gppearance of
certain items of local news on several occasions may have caused annoyance
They have caused double annoyance to the staff, who have had the mortifi-
cation of failing to see in print, news that had been faithfully reported.

As the doctors well know, the work of getting out a daily newspaper
ranks among the most physically exacting of all occupations. Even under |
the most favorable conditions, the grind and pressure of striving each day
to excel the work of the previous day, makes the lot of the active news-
paperman an arduous one. To have, as on Saturday, frozen plumbing, and
a broken valve on our engine, in addition to the mechanical difficulties
which have hampered the work of the News staff during the past month, |
made the task quite an heroic one. In this connection the News wishes |
to acknowledge its indebtedness to the Journal for aid in emergency, which |
made possible the issuing of Saturday's paper.

As we said at the beginning, neither good husbands nor good editors
advertise their troubles, even at the family fireside. We would not have
broken silence even now, were it not for information received by telegram
from San Francisco that the new typesetting equipmnt especially built
for the Daily News, is now on its way north, and in the ordinary course

of events will be installed and in working order within a week or so. The
plant comprises the latest and most complete multiple linotype machine to
be made, the first of its kind to enter the Province of British Columbia.

The staff are all praying for the safety of the ship that is racing a'ong
with the News’ new linotype machine. After it arrives there will be no

occasion for apologies.

should have cause to grumble at his

or her neighbor's better fortune—-here
were culinary problems at cace com-
prea wnw ‘

By adopting fantasuc devices,
bringing into service empty jam-pots
and sardine-tins, they found it was
possible to feed twenty at a time.
This meant the preparation of four
distinct meals, each requiring an
hour's work. Long before the last
batch, which included themselves, was
lamenting the absurd discrepancy be-
tween appetite and antidote in the
shape of any thing to cat, the first was
ravenous aguin.

The women complained the least.
In the occupants of the two bedrooms
the girls encountered a passive forti-
tude which was admirable. It was an
extraordinary scene which met their
eyes when they entered either of these
stuffy apartments. Many of the res-
cued ladies had not given a thought to
changing the demi-toilette of evening
wear on board ship for more service-
able clothing when the hurricane
overtook the vessel. They all, it is
true, possessed cloaks <r wraps of
some sort, but these garments were
still sodden with salt water and there-
fore unwearable, even if the oppres-
sive warmth in each room rendered
such 4 thing possible. Their elegant
costumes of muslin, cotton, silk or sa-
tin, were utterly ruined. Lucky were
the few whose blouses or bodices had
not been rent into tatters.

Some of the worst sufferers in this

respect were now the best provided.
Blankets and sheets had been ruthless-
ly torn up and roughly stitched into
articles of clothing. Mrs. Vansittart,
for instance, who first suggested this |
via media, wore an exquisite Paris}
gown and a loose dressing-jacket ar-|
rangement of yellow blanket, the com- |
ponent parts of which she persuade a}
two other women to sew together on
the model provided by her own elegant
figure.
A few quick-witted ones who follow
ed her example exhausted the avail-
able stock, and pillow-cases and rugs
would have undergone metamorpho-
sis in the same way had not Constance
come to the rescue by impounding
them, declaring that they must be re-
served for the use of those sufferers
who needed warmth and rest.

After an ingenious seaman had been
detected in the attempt to pick the

whilst a football scrimmage took place |
for the pieces, Mr. Emmett stopped |
‘hese ebullitions by arming the watch |
pith assorted weapons from the work-|
shop and issuing stern orders as to}
their use in case of need.

Here, again, the warring elements
which form the human clay were ad-
mirably displayed. On duty, under
the bonds of discipline, the coarse- |
grained foremast hand who had gob |
bled up a surreptitious lump of fat
pig during the first successful scuffle,
would brain the daring rascal who
tried to becter his condition by a simi-
lar trick a second time. Discipline,
sometimes, converts a skulker into a
hero.

When the state of the tide permit-
ted, storm-shutters were opened and a
free draught of air allowed to enter
through the door. Then all hands
eyed the sea with anxiety. The wind
was strong and piercing, and the reef
maintained its ceaseless roaring.
Wherever a window opened towards
the land there was a small crowd
waiting to peep through it. At last,
the sense of orderliness gradually per- |
meating the inmates of the lighthouse,
actually resulted in the formation of |
queues, with stated intervals for mov-
ing on. There was a momentary re- |
Mef in looking at the land. The cliffs,
the solitary white houses, the me}
hamlets half hidden in cozy nooks,
seemed to be so absurdly near. It was)
ridiculous to imagine that help could
jong be deferred. The seaward pass |
ing of a steamer, carrying flowers |
from the Scilly Isles to Penzance for |
Covent Garden, caused a flutter, but}

Noah, gazing across the flood for the
return of the dove with the olive
branch, could not be more pleased
than these castaways in their granite
ark when the brown-sailed boat came
within their view.

The window in the coal-cellar open-
ed fair towards the Land's End, and
the grimy occupants of this compart
ment could look their fill at the mes-
senger of life. A rich New Yorker
in vain offered a hundred dollars to
any man who gave up his place in the
line after he himself, by the operation
of the timelimit, was remorseless y
sent away from the narrow loop-hole.
Dollars and pounds sterling have a

The men of the watch were always
questioned for news by the unemploy-
ed majority. They related the com-
ings and goings of the Falcon, carried
sympathetic inquiries from story to
story—promiscuous passing to and
fro being forbidden owing to the nar-
rowness of the stairs—and seized
every trifling pretext on their own
part to reach the topmost height and
feast their eyes on the extensive pan-
orama visible from the storm-girt
gallery. Had they watched the coast-

The third and last mea
was eaten in silence anid
the spare lamps were « ed to the

om

kitchen, because Brand - a fur
ther detailed survey of stores,
made in company wi M Emmett
and the purser, discov: vat there
was an alarming defi sh we
ter in the cistern.

In the hurry of the earlier hours @
serious miscalculation had been made
in transmuting cubic feet into gallons,
It becamé an instant necessity to use
every heating appliance command
and start the distillation of a drink-/
able fluid.

The Gulf Rock Light did not possess

a proper apparatus. The only method
that could be adopted was to impro-)
vise a coil from canvas sewn into &|
tube. The <xterior was varnished,
and wrapped in wet cloths to assist
the condensation of the steam. Hence,
every kettle and pot being requis!
tioned for this paramount need, cocoa |
could be supplied to the women alone,
whilst the taste of the water, even
thus disguised, was nauseating.
more potatoes could be boiled. Raw, ,
they were almost uneatable. And
potatoes happened to be the food most
plentiful.

The genuine fresh water, reduced
to a minimum in the cistern, was 0!
a little better in condition unless it
was filtered, and Brand decided that
it ought to be retained for the exclu:
sive use of those seriously ill. Pas)
tients were multiplying so rapidly that
the hospital was crowded; and all
fresh cases, as they occurred, per
force remained where they were. |

Neither Constance nor Enid felt the
time hang heavily on their hands,
They were too busy, though the new
ordinance regarding the food supply
transferred their attention from active
cooking to the replenishing of utens
sils which must be kept full of salt
water at boiling-point.

Pyne was an invaluable assistant.

In the adjustment of refractory can-
vas tubes over hot spouts, in the many}
ipulation of the condensing plant so
that it might act efficiently, in the
trimming of lamps, and the stocking:
of the solitary coal fire, he insisted on
taking to himself the lion’s share of
the work.

He always had a pleasant quip or
funny story to brighten their talk. }

“You can conquer trouble with a
grin,” he said. “Worry doesn’t cut)
ice.”

Enid, of course chaffed him about}
his American accent, which, she pro-
tested, she would acquire after a
week's practice.

“It is quaint to our ears,” she went

on. “I never before grasped the rea-/|
son why Mark Twain makes me}
laugh. All he does is to act as 8&8}

phonograph. Every American is a
born humorist.”

“There's something in that,” ad-
mitted Pyne. “We do try to dis-inter
a joke. Say. Have you girls ever,

heard how an English professor ex-|
plained the Yankee drawl”

“No,” they cried.

“He said it represented the effort of |

an uneducated man to make a speech. |
Every time his vocabulary gave out
he lifted his yoice to show he wasn’t
half through with his ideas.” |
“Oh,” said Constance, “that is nel)
ther kind nor true, surely.” }
“Well,” agreed Pyne, slowly, “that
is the view a friend of mine took of the
remark. So he asked the professor if
he had a nice agreeable sort of deft-
nition, all ready for use, of the way
Englishmen clipped their syllables.
The other fellow allowed that he had:
n't pondered on it. ‘I guess,’ said my
friend, ‘it represents the effort of an
educated ass to talk English.’”
Though the laugh was against them
they were forced to snigger approval.
“I think,” said Constance, “that our
chief national failing is pomposity,
and your story hits it off exactly. In

‘one of our small Cornish towns we

have a stout little Mayor who made
He went
to see the Paris Exhibition, and an
Exeter man, meeting him unexpected- |
ly at the foot of the Eiffel Tower,
hailed him with delight. ‘Hello, Mr.
Mayor—' he began. ‘Hush,’ said the
mayor, glancing around mysteriously,

None who heard these light-hearted
young people yelling with merriment
would imagine that they had just
dined off a piece of hard-baked bread
made without yeast and washed down
with water tasting of tar and turpen-
tine.

“Now, Miss Enid, your turn,” cried
Pyne.

Her eyes danced mischievously.

“Unfortunately, by the accident of
birth, I am deprived of the sense of
humor,” she said.

“It seems to be in the family all
right,” he hazarded, looking at Con-|
stance.

“Alas!” said Enid, “I am an Ameri-|
can.”

“I'll smile now, if that is all,” said,
Pyne. }

“But, please, 1 am not joking a little
bit. When you go ashore you will
probably hear all about me, so I may
as well take the wind out of the sails
of gossip. I am a mere waif, who
came sailing in out of the West one)
day in a little boat which must have!
come from the New World as no one)
appeared to have lost either me or it
in the Old. Dad picked us both up and
adopted me.”

Pyne did not know whether to take
her seriously or not, until he sought

confirmation in a pair of tranquil
eyes which he gazed into at every op
portunity.

“It is quite true,” said Constance,
gravely. “I suppose that the myster
lous affinity between parents and long-
lost children which exists in story-
books Is all nonsense in reality. No
family could be more united and de
voted to cach other than we are, yet
Enid is not my sister, and my father
is her's only by adoption. He found
her half dying, drifting past this very
rock, and before he could reach her
he fought and killed a dreadful shark,
We are very proud of dad, Mr. Pyne,
You see, he is our only relation. Enid
knows neither her father nor mother,
and my mother died when I was @
baby.”

“Great Scott!” cried Pyne.

He turned quickly towards the door.

She held out a scrap of paper.
“Mr. Traill is here,” she said quiet-|

“Here!” he repeated, wondering |
what she meant, and perplexed by ber)
icy, self-contained tone, whilst he!
thought it passing strange that she.
had no other greetifig for him.

“Well,” she said, “that is the best!

near a8 a steamer can bring him.
Mr. Brand has received a signaled
message; he wrote it out and sent it
to me by a man. I inquired where you
were, and was told you were engaged
in the kitchen.”

For some reason Mrs. Vansittart
seemed to be greatly perturbed. Her
presence put an and to the gaiety of
the place quite effectually..
