The Rev. Mr. Mueller had begun read

so much excited and embarrassed by

The organist had been playing vigor

the number of II, had been captured by
wandering brigands. , The local Kaia

The kaid sent a message to Mount-mor.-es
begging for help, but Warning
him that it he attempted to rescue the
Frenchmen by foroe they would all be
killed. Mountmorres thereupon set sail
for Las Palmaa, where he reported the
affair to the British sad French con

When Mountmorres sot back he found
that the brigands were divided into two
parties. One party claimed . to own

Mountmorres took them on board, asked
politely after their health, and told

"It is too late now," said Mount

The brigands protested that It was an

PLAN TO BREAK
FISH MONOPOLY
Canadian Company Will Push Amer

Ottawa, Ont., May 2$. The Canadian
Fish and Cold Storage comoanv. with
headquarters at Prince Rupert, the ter
minal of the Grand Trunk Paclflo rail
way on the Pacific coast, has organised
and entered the lists against the big
American concern, ths New England
Fish company, which has hitherto prac
tically monopolized fishing- on the Pa
clflo coast.
A representative or tne new Cana
dian concern Is here consulting the
fisheries department of the government,
on various questions arising; in tne deep
sea fisheries. This company will erect
the larsest Dlant for cold storage nsn
in the world. The company Is capital
ised at tl.SOO.OOO and the managing di
rector is Grier Stewart, once a manager
of the Mew England company, ne
Dlant will have a capacity of 000,000
pounds and the company will ship Its
product to all parts of the world.
The greatest fishing grounds in the
world are within 60 to 60 miles of Prince
Rupert and the Canadian company will
have the advantage of distance. The
American firms have to steam 1,100
miles to and from the banks,. while the
Canadians need only to go about 100
miles. The fish caught are chiefly hali
but, but carp, herring, salmon, sole and
other varieties are also abundant.
A branch of the business, which will
be new, la the utilisation of the Im
mense quantities of non-edible fish
caught there, and which are now thrown
back Into the sea. These nd -the offal
of other flah will be taken and made
Into a fertiliser, which will readily sell
for $3B a ton. The new Canadian com
pany will give employment to a fishing
fleet, manned by at least 2,000 men, and
