or French port via a cattleboat.
This past summer scores of stu-
dents from Canadian .universities,
equipped with tooth -brushes and.ko-
daks, boldly adopted the last expedi-
ent. Not to be outdone by our jun-
iors, and probably stimulated by a
lingering adolescent itch for adven-
ture, several recent graduates oil
Toronto (most of us were school men
needless to say) made hurried ar-
rangements and followed„ their ex-
ample. In describing my adventures
which were fairly typical,.I think I
do not propose to write a detailed
narrative of the trip—how we got
up at 4.30 a.m., fed the cattle at 5,
and so on. Instead I am going to
give .a few extracts from a diary
written during the trip. I' make no
apology for obtruding my personal
notes in this way, because impres-
sions written at the time are always
more interesting than those recon-
structed a month after the event has
taken place. •

On Board Ship.
Conditions on this cattleboat are
intolerable. Six days from port and
not a solitary horror anywhere to be
found. The lest Kipling tradition is
being blatantly outteged. Any
schoolboy knows more about cattle
shipping than the entire crew and
officers combined: He knows, for
instance, that the only food obtain
able on a self-respecting cattleboat
is hard Meek and salt pork; that 40
cattlerden are always crowded into a
stuffy forecastle not large enough
for ten; that the drinking water in-
variably gives out on the fifth day
from land. • But the captain is blies
fully unaware of these great literary
truths. He has never indulged in
the lurid popular ballads of the day,
hence is not conversant with the ap-
proved methods of cattle shipping.
The gentle art has been the subject
of a widespread literary conspiracy.
The real facts of the case are disap-
pointingly prosaic.
First, you startle your three or
four intimates by casually annqunc-
ing that you ale shortly sailing, for
Europe on a cattleboat They blink
in amazed admiration and declare.
loyally that they'll go with you(old
top. This ultimatum reduces •you to
grinning bonsternation, because you
had only been vaguely playing with
the idea. But you must go through
with it now, so you lead the way to
a local agency, pay your dollar, and
sign for a boat sailing next Friday.
On Friday you present yourself at
the stockyards and find that the cat-
tle have not yet arrived- from the
West—come back to -morrow morn-
ing at six, Next day you learn that
the boat bas been delayed—turn up
to -morrow morning at five. Finally,
by' the end of the following week,
you find yourself on ship in Montreal,
watching several hundred wild-eyed
steers tumbling aboard.
The first job for us cattlemen was
to disentangle the long -horned beau-
ties and drive them into pens built
on the first and second decks. The
method of bringing order from the
bovine chaos was to use the tails of
the beasts as rudders. The foreman
showed us how to operate the novel
steering apparatus and we set to
with gusto. But our enthusiasm was
short-lived. We found the propess
of tail twisting one calculated to
wreck- the nerves and exhaust the
vocabulary.
Yoa decide on an obstreperous
steer whish is indignantly engaged -in
walking through the side of the ship
and approach him warily from one
side. He wheels' about and eyes you.
suspiciously. You retreat behind a
ventilator and creep up on him from
the opposite direction. He lets you

the lounge piano. I asked him where
1 would find the grim romance of
cattle .shipping. He smiled sympa-
thetically and offered to lend me a
copy of Wilson Macdonald's Under-*
tow. In despair I sought the bosun
and, with memories of Ballantyne in
mind, demanded where the marlin
pins were kept. The bosun grinned
and asked what a marlin pin was. I
admitted that I didn't know exactly,
but insisted it was something the
bosun threw at the cabin boy about
the fourth day out. He was much
interested and told me to let him
know if I found any.

This morning we sighted an ice -
floe covered with black objects that
the captain maintained were seals.
We all agreed, however, that he was
wrong, ince not a ,single one of
, them was balancing a ball on his
nose or clapping .brass cymbals to-
gether. 1

As a final effort to capture •the old
fashioned flavor . of the sea, we re-
hearsed all the 'sea chanties in the
University of Toronto song book and
invited the sailors. to• join us for a
sing -song on deck. Despite our pre-
parations the affair was an inglor-
ious fiasco. The sailors listened po-
litely while we' carolled our saltiest
selections but failed to join in the
_ singing. They had apparently never
heard the traditional songs of the
sea and thought they lacked pep.
When we were hoarse they sang with
gusto twelve stanzas of the Barney

' There are some interesting types
among the cattlemen.
George, the foreman, has been at
the job for forty year and is as
solicitous for the comfort of his
charges as if they were so many chil-
dren. Hb is distrustful of the night-
watcllnan and may' be found, .at un-
earthly hours of the night, tramping
along the cattle decks-ehere consol-
ing, there encouraging, retying this
one's rope, throwing that one a fork
of bedding.
"Scowse," is the galley rat — a
wistful -eyed, rather aristocratic fea-
tured little cockney waif. He is al-
most tearfully grateful for casual
recognition of his existence- and
smuggles us•,delicacies from the gal-
ley when the cook isn't looking. He
is at eternal enmity with "Bozo," the
cabin -boys--as vigorously cocksure.
and impudent as Scowse is timid.
Bozo conducts a thriving business in
plum- dand pastries for which he
extracts oat exorbitant prices.
Finall and most spectacularly we
have "Bugs," the lanky sophomore
son of a well known Montreal pro-
fessor. Bugs is making the trip for
the purpose of collecting entomologi-
cal specimens. Like the rest of us,
he had been intrigued by the land-
lubber descriptions of cattleboats
written by sentimental maiden aunts
and expected to find himself in a
veritable paradise of insect life. He
has conscientiously persued all parts
of the ships microscope in hand, but
has only succeeded in catching three
cockroaches. . and an adventulous
bumblebee. However, he is making
the best of it and takes pride in
pointing out that each of his cock-
roaches is of a different genus—one
Oriental, one American, and the other -
European. An International Cock-
roach Tournament for the broad
jump, p, aw"imming, and wrestling
championship of the world has ac-
cordingly been arranged, and is to
be held in the fo'c's'le to -night.. This
morning the odds were three to one
in favor of the Jap,'but one of the
Queen's students has upset the dope'.
by announcing that he will enter an
African coekreach rescued, at great',
peril, from his soup. Bugs scoffs• at
-this development, but the rest of us
are secretly petting a few prudent �
nickels on the dark horse.

that a fortune in jewels would probe

a short while from the various resorts
where Frenchmen down on their luck
might be found. Finally be had
gathered four desperadoes, most of
them men• who had already been in
the hands of the police, and all of
them apparently ripe for any crime
that promised to pay a big dividend.
Mourey's followers were. Frank Rosa},
Eugene Diaset, Maurice ,Bagnoli and
another known as "tbe•Jockey."
For several days they studies the
plan eoncoted•by Mourey and at
length were pronounced letter per-
fect. In the darkness of dawn on.
April 2, 19e2, Mourey let himself in
through a cellar•"window in the Shat-
tuck home. An hour later as the
others passed along the street he
showed a n4atek as a signal and they
followed him, with the exception of
Rossi, who was to be "look "out".
They hid themselves in a small coal'
cellar until 1.15 p.m., when they knew
the family would be at dinner. Then
covering their faces with handker-
chiefs and brandishing revolvers,they
rushed up the stairs, surprised and
quickly overpowered three women
and four man -servants, and with Mr.
and Mrs. Shattuck, bound and gagged
them and imprisoned them. ell in a
wine cellar". This was an air -proof
vault, built of reinforced concrete. it
was fifteen feet long, eight feet wide
and six feet high. Nothing can be
more certain than that thenine people'
`would have perished there had it not
been for the determination and the
strength of Mr. Shattnek. Several
had become dizzy from the foul ail;
and 'all were at the point of exhaust-
tion when the indomitable old finan,
cher was able to let them out.
He broke off his knife blade and
with his improvishedscrew driver
laberoualy attacked the screws in
the huge lock. Slowly, while the
sweat streamed from his forehead,
he worked at the 'deep-set smaller
screws and one by one they came out
When he attacked, the larger screws
the knife would not hold, so he set to
work with a ten cent piece, and at the
cost of strength that -only such an
emergency would summon forth he
worked the large s'c'rews' loose .at: last
and the door swung open. After 'a
gulp of the comparatively fresh air
of the cellar the men and women
rushed up the stairs. Mourey/ and
his gang had not worked hurriedly,
and were still in the act of dividing
their $93,000 in loot when they heard
the footsteps. They heard a message
flashed over the telephone before they'
could'return end try once more • to
subdue the :ally, so they fled. All
gotclear exeept Diaset who became
confused and bolted backto the cellar.
By the time he had reached the.street
agate the jlolice were on the -job and
he ran into their arms.
Rossi was soon found and so was
Bagnoli, but Mourey was at large,
and Mr. Shattuck 'determined to get
him. His first step was to offer a
reward of $25,000. This 'announce-
ment with a full description of the
desperado he had sent all over the
world. Sleuths of various nationali-
ties •were on the look -out, as were
criminals ready to betray Mourey
should the chance occur. Mr. Shat-
tuck himself took command. . The
fist clue came from San Francisco,
where a jewelled watch was recover-
ed. It had been given by Mourey
to a woman companion Next came
news.from Mexico. Mourey had been
seen there, but he had grown a
beard; he had dyed his skin• he bad
painfully picked out the tell-tale gold
fillings from his teeth, and still mere
paineu)ly had tattoo markings . re-
