Pro- vincial Police was at Alert Bay on Cormorant Island in the Johnston Strait. When I was in charge there in 1929-31 it was a central point for the adjacent islands and the inlets on the mainland to the East. A number of government departments had estab- lishments there; the federal had the radio and telegraph stations, customs, and Indian agency, the provincial had fisheries, forestry, police and game. The B.C. Packers operated a salmon cannery and store, and the Columbia Coast Mission had a _ hos- pital and wharf. At the north end of the island was the Indian residential school, an Bayview General Store and Meat Market J. PATTERSON * Cobble Hill, B.C.

I remember one American from California asking me as we stood on ES Inspector George H. Clark, M.C. the beach, “How far are we above sea level here?” It’s odd how one can hear one’s own ring on a telephone to the exclusion of other combinations of SHAWNIGAN GARAGE GENERAL REPAIRS CAS - OIL TAXI SERVICE Shawnigan Lake Night at Alert Bay signals from the same bell. At Alert Bay we had a telephone system on which there was about a dozen com- binations of short and long rings corresponding to letters of the Morse Code. As can be imagined, it was a glori- fied party line, and though the phone was ringing incessantly, one became accustomed to simply not hearing any ring unless it was his own. One morning about two in the morning, I was awakened from a sound sleep by the familiar long short, long short. It was the manager of the Nimp- kish Hotel on the phone, and he told me he was having trouble with two of his guests who had been partying all evening and had reached the stage WILCUMA LODGE “THE COUNTRY HOUSE HOTEL” Situated on the Shores of Delightful COWICHAN BAY World-famous for its Fighting Salmon GOLF - RIDING - FISHING - BOATS Phone Duncan 56-R-1 COWICHAN BAY V.I., B.C.
