After a lengthy period of exacting survey work the Topographical Survey, Department of Interior, Ottawa, recently issued the Winnipeg District Aeronautical Map, covering the area from Winni- peg to the point where the Mani- toba-Ontario boundary line turns in its course from north to northeast- erly. The map is printed in colors chairman of house on | $3,200; Ward and | on th, scale of eight miles to an inch, it is vital to the airman that all water features which it is possible to show on the scale mentioned be mapped in order that he may at all times know his location from th, ground features below. As the most striking feature of the district is the intricate maze of waterways (in the vicinity of the Ontario-Mani- {toba boundary, the result is that the map displays a mad tangle of lakes and rivers which could not fail to confuse th, layman were not special means taken to simplify their indication. To this end the regularly travelled water routes and the most important waterways are {shown in a different color from (their minor companions. Less than a decade ago this reg- {fon was an uncharted wilderness, known even by repute to few citi- "zens of civilized Canada, but today the limelight of public attention is playing upon it, having been direct- |ed (thence by the widely-heralded mineral discoveries in the vicinity of Red Lake and other districts of Western Ontario north of the trans- lcontinental railway lines. To meet 'the consequent demand for maps. the Topographical Survey, working n co-operation with th, Canadian Air Force, has carried out suucess- |tully a considerable amount of aerial photographic work and several large {scale maps covering various portions ol the region have been issued, in. cluding the Red Lake map itself. Though prepared specially for the sky cruisers, this latest wilderness chart will, it is believed, be in great demand with all whom the lust for riches or the pursuit of sport draw into the district. As it shows the ground features in much greater de- tail than is usual with the scale employed, those whg travel by dog {team in winter or by canoe in sum- ymer will find it of much greater (value than the maps previously is- sued. Thus the northward moving tide of civilization is inundating another (strip of th, fast-retreating Canadian wilderness. Hard om the heels of the prospector follows the surveyor |and the map-maker. In their foot- steps will inevitably march -the de- [veloper, the colonist and the mer- | chant. And the aeroplane, typical of twentieth century speed. is play- ing a major role in the conguest of he unknown lands. "Sav, Liz, why don't you gel mar- ried at "the little church around the corner?"

MUTINY ABOARD SHIP, 1S STORY TGLD BY SKIPPER Crew a Hard-Bitten Lot and Described as Bad Luck Fellows New York, Aug. Feb. 6 began as an interlude of peace aboard the Kingsway, careen- ing before a favoring wind toward the African Gold Coast. Comfori- ably in a chair on the quarter deck, the Master, Fred E. Lawry, who has heard the major and minor chords of the wind-song of the seven seas, listened serenly to the slap-slap of the bow meeting the waves, the faint, bubbling murmur of the wake and the groan and creak of the rig- ging. The placidity was welcomed, for in the months since the four-masted schooner had hoisted anchor at San Juan, Porto Rico, black mutiny had followed the ship with the persis- tence of a gull. The crew, a hard- bitten lot, had turned laggards-- they had been "piesened'@the skip- per said,--food had heen short and white-haired Mr. Mortimer, the mate, prototype of Mr. Pike of Jack London's "The Mutiny on the Elsi- nore" had not been of much help through illness. It all seemed passed safely on the February night and although weeks of water stretched ahead, Captain Lawry could almost hear the plunge of the anchor being let go half a mile off Secconde. He could almost fancy himself looking shoreward through the heat wave to make out the Union Jack 141i, stirring above the whitewashed building of the Bri- tish Commissioner of Police, symbol of law and order. Near the skipper, Erie a Swede who had seen the lights of many ports rise from the decks of many ships, lounged over the wheel. It was 8.30 p.m. and having had supper the five other members of the crew were stowed away in the forecastle. With his pipe eupped in the palm of his powerful right hand--a power-| ful fist for all that a storm of years | had left it with only three fingers Captain Lawry puffed away content- edly, and the smoke drifted off in- to the darkness. There was no moon, and, but few stars, and they as vague as diamond chips and the only light came in swaying booms r ou. The night of Anderson, harhor or fall Hailed the Skipper Earl Battice, the half-pint negro cook, hailed the skipper from a step of the cook ladder leading to the poop. The cook asked the skipped to lend him a ""torch"'--a large-sized flashlight. "Sure, my lad," said the Captain, hunching his chunky form out of the chair and starting down the lad- der toward his cabin where he kept the flashlight. The small figure of the cook melted away and the skip: per, after a bit of rummaging, had the flash in his hand and was turn: ing to come out on deck when from the storeroom aft came a series of screams, each weaker, and then 1 shuddering moan.
