PAGE TEN AT CANADA’S CALL “this Warships That Guard Our nod Our Pooplo in Foroign Lands in Timon of Porn. Since the outbreak of . .fety of Canadian missio . oring in Corca has been an object O! no small concern to their friends at home. When the seaSon for cam- paigning has fairly begun on that bottle ground of the Far East the heaters of the message of the Gosâ€" pel who remain there will be encoin- passed with danger on every side. In war time the camps of eVen the most civilized and most Christianiz- od nations are not a safe neighbor- hood for non-combatants. The Jap- anese and Russian soldiery may not more savage or licentious than the troops of any other race, but men’ of whom the occupation is slaughter, who have had experience of the sacking of cities, are not un- likely to be violent to helpless neu- trals. Possibly more to be feared than the belligerents are the naâ€" tives of Corea, who may become disâ€" orderly in this time of their counâ€" try’s trouble, and may thereby be v 'ted to fanatical attacks on the am _ ’ Christian missionaries. We know. loose how the people of Seoul broke against the “foreign deVils' when the idea took possession of their minds that the electric railway was n profanation and a curse. They had had a drought, and this they deemed to be a visitation of the displeasure of the rain god, offended because the power-house was built upon. soil sac- red to his service. And, Similarily, the war with which their country is overrun may be ascribed by the na- tives to their harboring of Christian missionaries. No member of a mis- sionary household would be safe. in Corea a moment after that notion got abroad. Realizing the peril, ofliccrs of Ca- nadian Foreign Missionary Assoc1a- tions urged the Dominion merit to request the British Minister at Seoul to take measures for the deliverance of their brethern in Co- rea. A despatch Was sent. The British Minister at the Corean capiâ€" tal promptly replied with an assur- ance that the missionaries Would be looked after. Show Ian, where a vessel them. vice from the Canadian High Com- missioner in London that the mis- sionaries had been at the place appointed, there taken on board a British warship, and carâ€" ried to a place of safety, probably to the British port of Hong Kong. Merchant vcsSels were at that time souching and trading at Wonsan and Longâ€"Chin, and on one of. these the missionary party could have takâ€" . en passage. But merchant vessels are not quite safe in waters which the ships of two contending navies are cruising. A trading vossd is subject to stoppage and search if it is suspected of carrying contra- band geods. Nor is the manner of challenging suspected merchantmen always according to the rules of War. A Russian warship fired on a British trader by mistake. And most of the trading done with Corcan ports is now by Japanese vessels. So, if the missionaries got on a merchant ship it would probably be one flying the Japanese flag. We know the fate of one Japanese mer- chantman. It was fired on and sunk, with all cruiser. Should a Japanese ger or freight ship, carrying missionaries and their wives passen- t he and children, meet a vessel belonging to . the Vladivostock squadron, the lat- ter might open fire and send the trading vessel and those on board of her to the bottom of the sea. ‘caring such a chance, the British Government sent a man-of-War. That was not fired on. When they find awaiting them a formidable warship, one of the up- holders of Britain's mighty sea pow- er, the Canadian mission workers in the Far East must feel proud and grateful to belong to such an Em- pire. They can truly boast that they are citizens of no mean State. This Mistress of the Seas, who sends her naval vessels for the safe conveyance of Canadians from regions of dan- ger, is the "worn-out nation" Mr. Bourassa would have Canada sepa- rated from. Canadians are British subjects, and the protection of the British naV'y is as much at their Scr- wfce a; it is at that of the people of the United Kingdom.

It is by British cruisers that Behring Sea is patrol- led during the sealing season. French naval commanders would not allow our fishermen to enjoy their full rights in waters adjoining Newfoundâ€" land if British warships were not at hand to take the Canadians' part. .. , , ,_ ______ NEWFOUNDLAND WRECKERS» _ loos-t Stripping of n Strandod lohoosor Recalls Bomo Ancient Lore. It recalls old times to read of how a party of Newfoundland fishermen recently boarded and stripped a schooner that by some rare chance went ashore on their terrible coast without getting ground into little pieces. That was their regular cus- tom in such cases in years not very remote, not because they were a bad, piratical lot, which they never were. but because that custom, once com~ mon to every seaboard, lingered in Newfoundland with many another of equally respectable age longer than in most other places. The Newfoundc landerâ€"who, by the way, aIWays ac- cents the name of his island on the ultimate syllable and that of himself on the penultimateâ€"retained . until just the other day the inclination of his ancestors and ours to look upon lighthouses as a wicked interference with the designs of Providence in the matter of wrecks and consequent profit_to a 'longshore population, and though it has been some years since he has been charged with actuâ€" a1 eflorts to increase the natural har- vest of the cliff foot by luring ships ashore or quietly disposing of stray survivors who might be inconvenient claimants for salvaged property, it is not remarkable that he still deâ€" cides hastily when the question arises whether a stranded vessel belongs to reach imposition of hcaVy fines, with an imprisonment which pelled to accept. The comparative certainty, noWadays, of incurring the necessity to make that gloomy choice has had a markod effect upon even the most conservative of the dwell- soon be there exactly what it is on Which is a loss as well as a gain, since it means the disappearance of a phase of life of large value to the artists who have Paul Kano and His Piotlrol. Much interest was renewed in a Canadian artist and his works by the exhibition of Paul Kane’s paintâ€" .ings, which the Lieut.-Govcrnor op- ened in Toronto on Saturday, March ~ auspices of the W0- Associaâ€" the man's Canadian Historical tion. l’aul Kane was born in 1810 of humble parentage in the little town i His youth‘ was spent here, and, as he tells us : in his autobiography, from his eai‘li- ' of York, now Toronto. est years he took the greatest inter- est in the Indians, of whom many ‘ wandering bands were to be found in the neighborhood. As years passed he developed a talent for drawing and became a portrait painter, which vocation he followed for some years in Canada and the an passed four years in the study of art in the galleries of England, France and Italy. Returning to Ca- ‘ ‘ the illustrated journals nada in 1845, he determined to do. vote himself to the dream of his boyhood, the painting of a series of pictures illustrative of the North American Indian, and the scenery of that Vast unknown region between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean. purpose, he left Toronto on June 17, 184-5, with a slender outfit, eluding his portfolio, a box of paints, his gun and a stock of am- munition..He traveled far and wide for years, sketch book in hand, and lived among the red men, learning their manners and customs, study- , ing their characteristics and taking portraits of their chiefs and war- riors, and medicine men, as well as of their wives and daughters.
