BC, that the Federal Deputy Minister of Health has recommended that the quarantine station at William Head on Bancouver Island be operated 24 hours daily, thus obviating serious delays to Trans-Pacific Liners.
The Aduiral Oriental Line will be the principal gainer by this change. Steam- ers of this company carry silk cargo.
and in Because of the high rates terest charged on this commodity. this silk is rushed through from Yokchama to the waiting trans-continental trains at Seattle with the utmost speed. Even minutes are held to be precious and con- sequently a delay of six or sexen bours Pat the quarantine station is not viewed with pleasure by the compa Under the present regulations, if a liner reaches William Hend after 0 pia. at night she is forced to lay over until morning. meaning the loss of many valuable hours. By the proposed new reglotions. a vessel reach William Head say at 1 p.in. secure pratique, discharge passengers and cargo nt Victoria and arrive in Seattle before sunrise. In this way silk cargoes would gain many hours on the run to New York and New Jersey Silk Mills. would also enable passengers to spend the day in Seattle sight seeing and leaving that night for their eastern destinations. |---Sruttie, poper.

FLOATING ISLAND." Steamers threading the lines of the alluring Pacific occasionally report the appearance of mysterious floating is lands, a phenomenon which has stirred the imagination of man since the ancients wore the 'romantic story about the chain- ing down of the floating island of Delos," says a bulletin from the headquarters of the American National Geographic Society. Within our own times a floating island 100 feet square, upon which trees 30 feet high, were growing, drifted 1,000 miles out into the Atlantic, probably from the coast of the United States During July, 1982, this island, the tall trees of which made it visibin for seven miles, was first seen about 250 miles south-east from Nantucket. By September it had drifted about six de- grees farther north and 22 degrees far- ther eat with the Gulf Stream, and it may have eventually landed on the coast of Europe.
