john Napier Turner 'is prone: Minister designate of Canada
foliovr ing the liberal leadership convention,on the weekend.
Far from the coronation Some hadexpected, fellow'ing the
candidates' speeches Friday night, the runfor the prize was
anyone's • guess
Turner•pushed all the.rightbuttons: politically in his ,speech,
paying' tribute to Trudeau, .nainiiig the economy and jobs as.
the top .priority iih: any government he would form, listing
affirmative' action for women and their .concerns such as day
care, reassuring theQuebec caucusAhey would play a key•role°
in his -government and: therlrench speaking =peoplee•ofrCanada'
that their rights. would °be:protected, promising tri review the
national energy plan and recruit�westerners to ruh for election
so ,they :could play a .part in the new. government.
John Chretienbroughtthehouse down, rallying the Grits to
stand proud and:united as hedid soiite effective Tory bashing
using humour .to cutthe edge, emphasizing hewas proud ' of
his contribution during the . Trudeau years and calling on
Liberals, and Canadians to- Continue ^ to. work "together to
achieve the enormous 'potential that is offered by the people
of this wonderful country that is ours.
But in the end as party president Iona Campagnola put it
Verysuccinctly, John Turner won the leaderjship and John,
Chretien Wort the hearts' of the party.
• Chretien could not distance himself 'enough from the
Trudeau legacy and the party votedfor ;the man • whom they
believed could win the next election and.'permit the:::party an
Opportunity to hang: on to power.
Whether they realized it Or not, the Liberals.have-probably
chosen., a. leader who .may just be capable of winning the next
election. One thing is certain John Chretien no matter how
well liked,' is part and parcel Of everything Canadians disliked
about the Trudeau, years.”"
Canadians . are sick to death 'of the. French - English
question.. The economy and jobs are the number one issue
and Trudeau and his government .never quite got' ,the
message. Peopleywbo cannot' wprk because they cannot find a
job and: thosewho"do, work, but are fastbecoming the middle
class poor because they pay the lion's 'share Of taxes,. are not
all that interested in bringing home, the constitution:
It is time to take action on the economy, jobs, restructuring
the income tax system, affirmative -action forwomen; and
making government work through the participation of all the
various regions of the country. Issues Turner identified in his
speech. ,
It would not have hurt Turner however to- invite Chretien
and Trudeau to the stage followinghis victory. The picture of
the three of themstanding together, presenting a united
front, would not have damaged Turner's credibility where
distancing himself from the Trudeau years is concerned and it
would have done a great deal to unite the party. Instead he
gave a throne speech.
For the average Canadian, Turner carries much promise
and hope. He took a step in the right direction yesterday when
he phoned Tory leader Brian Mulroney to ask if they could
work togetherto make government more effective.
Something this country has .required for a long time is a
working House of Commons, where government and opposi-
tion work together to deal with the issues facing the country,
rather than using the house for political posturing like
roosters in a cock fight.

Captain Jamieson, Chippy Chisholm and
Teddy Murdoch lost no time in moving their
belongings from the New American Hotel to
the Atlantic Queen. Their next important
consideration was to hire a crew, and
Jamieson thought it would be wise to try and
rehire the men who had previously manned
the ship. ,
He despatched Chippy Chisholm to the
taverns around the waterfront, to spread the
news that the Atlantic Queen was ready to
sign on any willing members of her now
unemployed crew. The response brought the
previous -captain by the name of MacLachlan
and his first officer Galbraith to the ship.
Both were natives of Glasgow, Scotland.
"There is nobody I would rather have as
members of the crew than you two gentle-
men," Jamieson told them. "With you
aboard, the ship will be in very experienced
hands. But are you certain Mr. MacLachlan,
that you can serve under me after once being
master df this ship?"
"I will not pretend it will be easy sir,"
MacLachlan relied. "But since you yourself
are a Scot, I can do it for you, when I could
not serve under another."
"Then it is settled, gentlemen. You
Mister MacLachlan will be first officer and
REDTREES
byDon Campbell
you Mister Galbraith will be second."
Jamieson shook hands with both and went
out with .them on to the deck. He took the
previous captain aside.
"I appreciate having you aboard Mister,
and to show you that I respect the position
you once held on this ship, it will please me
if you share the captain's cabin."
MacLachlan realized that Jamieson would
do everything possible except relinquish his
command, so as not to embarrass him.
"You are very generous captain, sir, and
as I see it, you know how to get the best out
of men. I promise you, you will never regret
what you, have just done as long as I am
aboard!"
Jamieson gave MacLachlan jurisdiction in
signing On the crew. He rehired all his
previous men except two. These he consider-
ed to be unsuitable, judging from their
conduct on the last voyage.
There was still much to be done. Mister
Galbraith was given the duties of Quarter-
master and sent off to gather the ship's
supplies. MacLachlan set to work with a will,
organizing the crew and preparing the
Atlantic Queen for sea. He had his first
encounter with Chippy Chisholm. ,
"I am a friend of Captain Jamieson,"
Chippy told him. "And he has appointed me
boatswain - me being too old tae climb the.
riggin' ".
"Very well, bo'sun, the captain's wish is
my command," MacLachlan said curtly.
"But let me make one thing certain. I have
no friends when I am at sea. You had better
jump to it when I give an order, and make
sure the crew do the same!"
Chippy quickly realized that his familiarity
with Jamieson at Redtrees would not apply
on the Atlantic Queen - not as long as Mister
MacLachan was first officer!
"Aye, aye, sir," Chippy responded. "I
will do just that."
Captain Jamieson found a cargo of rough
dressed lumber to be delivered to the Port of
Glasgow, and bargained shrewdly for the
transportation price. It began being deliver-
ed almost immediately and 'the crew and
stevedores started to load the ship.
Construction lumber wasalso plated in the
forward hold - much more than Teddy
Murdoch could ever have anticipated. He
was not altogether certain he would be able
to utilize it all before they reached Glasgow,
When all the arrangements had been
finalized, Jamieson thought it was not time
to inform the,Friends of Skye of his progress.
He did this iii the form of a letter to,his wife,
which read:
My dear Kathleen,
By the time this letter reaches you, we
Shall be heading down the Saint Lawrence.
You will be pleased te. know that I have
acquired a fine ship; a three masted
schooner by the name of "Atlantic ween".
Tell the people they should have no fears for
their relatives. I can vouch that our return
passage will bring their loved ones safely t
Canada and under the best possible condi.
tions. All that we plannecais now reality an
1 have negotiated a Cargo which will replay
the funds which I have expended. Mr,
Chisholm and Teddy Murdoch are well,
Please tell their families that they willbe
well taken care of. As for me, I am pleased
we can now accomplish all that we intended
to do. I shall pray for you, and the child. Be
assured that the sea will not claim . my heart
again, fpr I have left it behind with you, at
Redtrees.
Your loving husband, Ian.
