Once out of sight of the island it was going to ‘be difficult for So far so good. Neither shooting nor shouting interfered with the start of the voyage. They had a favouring breeze and the sea was slight. In single file, at widely spaced interâ€" vals, they made their ways to the boat. Everything was intact. Oars were lying tidily inboard and the unshipped tiller was in the thwarts. Speedly making ready they packed in, cast off and left the cove. Jessop rowed and Mr. Mason steered. Hugh snatched the rifle from the German‘s grasp, overblanced and made a lucky grab at the fellow‘s ankles. In the ensuing melee hard knocks were given and taken indicriminately. Hugh and the German, at the bottom of the pile of struggling humanity, had far the worst of it. Oddly enough,. the sentry did not call for help. It was Jessop, making amends for his poor aim, who ultimately tapped the strugglâ€" ng wretch on the head, after which they tied him up, stuck adhesive tape ifrom the emergency dressing #hest over his mouth, and settled down for a breather.

"As you wish, siz," he agreed, with manifest reluctance. | Bowing to overwhelming odds they accepiea this major defeat in a mood of pessimism. No merey was shown. They were tightly trussed up, boundled on board the submarine, and conveyed back to Ovarn in dismal plight. "Can‘t do much about this," Mason observed, eying the advancing horde grimly. "Take to the hills, pop." "And be shot down at leisure? No thank you, my dear. This is big stuff. These gentry have as much regard for our lives as they have for pheasants. Hold back, Jessop!" Brnging up the rear of the landâ€" ing party, his face black as a thunder clouded stalked Ambrose Martin shouldering a rifle.

These waters are strewn with uninhabited isles and we‘d soon give our position away to Ellendorf.‘" Hugh woke with a splitting headache and a taste in his mouth like the afterâ€" math of a feast on acid drops. Reconâ€" noitring, he found a clear runnel of water to slake his thirst, collected a dozen edible eggs, and called the party to partake of a repulsive but presumâ€" ab‘y nourishing meal. Sleep, too, was welcome. They grounded on a sthelving beach, pulled up beyond hightâ€"waterr mark and settled down to rest there and then. "Ten to one they‘ll cruiss around when they find we‘ve gone," Mr. Mason amplified; Without charts were pretty helplesss.

Mr. Mason was striving to correct a tendency, which was increasingly obâ€" vious. ‘At that rate they would not get far away from Ovarn, and might actâ€" ually be circumnavigating the island.

Robson and 'A W. Jacobs Speak at Meeting at Noranda . Recently there has been much disâ€" cussion of synthstic rubber, and the general opinion of it is that it is not as good as the regular rubber, especially when it comes to such things as tires. Just how much this opinion is founded on fact, and how much on hearsay evidence is difficult to state. In any event here is a Haileybury man who says that it looks s> much like rubber that it can not ibe distinguished from the genuine article. Here is the item from The Haileyburian in referonce to the matter: "There was a record attendance at the meeting of the Wostern Quebec Branch of the C. I. M. M. on Saturâ€" day night at Noranda Hotel, some 80 pecple ‘being present to hear Dr. W. Robson, of McIntyre Research, Ltd., who has won renown for his efforts over a period of years to apply the use of powdered aluminum in preventing the incidence of silicosis in mines where silica dust presents danger to workers. "Dr. Robson. was accompanied by A. W. Jacob, McIntyre ventilation engineer, who also spoke to the gathâ€" ering. "H. L. Roscos, viceâ€"president and genâ€" eral manager of Noranda Mines Ltd., in felicitious terms introduced Dr. Robâ€" son, who with the late J. J. Denuy spent years investigating and experiâ€" menting with aluminum dust in comâ€" batting the silica menace and whose discovery ranks among the most imâ€" portant made by the medical profession in imany years. Haileybury Man Shows Samples Synthetic Rubber "At the close of the meeting the appreciation of those present was ably exipressed by A. G. Kirkland, manages of the Micâ€"Mac mine." Recently Dr. W. D. Robson and A. W. Jacobs, of the McIntyre, were speakers at the meeting of the Rouynâ€"Noranda Branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Their topic was; the new treatment for the preâ€" vention of silicosisâ€"the use of powâ€" dered aluminum. The addresses made a very deep impression on the C. I. M. M. at Noranda, to judge from the reâ€" ference in The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press of last week. Under the heading, "Dr. Robson Talks to Local C. I. M. M.. ‘"‘The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press says:â€" Use of Powdered Aluminum Explained in Prevention of Silicosis. "Sid Rouse, Haileybury man who has been engaged for the past year or two on the construction of the big ynthetic rubber manufacturing plant in Sarnia and who is now home for a spell, has some very interesting samples of the product of the plant in its varâ€" ious stages of manuflacture. All the rubber is made from crude oil, Mr. Rouse says, but the material goes thrâ€" ough quite a number of processes, or "washings," before it reaches the finâ€" ish. The first washing reveals a subâ€" stance closely resembling cottage cheese, nearly white in colour and with already some towards the final elastic quality. A second stage shows it a bit closer to rubber more nearly solid and much stronger. Then it goes on until the finished product, which to the layman is so much like rubber that it could not be distinguishâ€" ed from the genuine article. The proâ€" cess is a complicated one, Mr. Rouse says, and is kept absolutely secret. Few visitors are allowed in the plant and then only on permits, and even those engaged in the manufacture know little about how the crude oil is converted into rubber. Construction of the plant has been completed, Mr. Rouse said." Peggy G. Fears: Often a good educaâ€" tion just enables you to get into more intelligent trouble.
