SOMETHING WRONG
SOMEWHERE
CORRECTION OF IMPRESSION
CREATED BY A FALSE
REPORT
On the 14th of February, a re
port of the loss of the power boat
North Cape was published in the
Progressive-Miner. A few days
later after M. Tiederman had re
turned to town, he gave his version
of the case that resulted in a se
vere critism of Mr. Boyce. The
latter feeling that an injustice had
been done him, he decided to make
a statement substantiated by other
men who presumably knew the facts
in the case. Their statements fol
low :
‘North Cape’ Application For Help
On the Night of February
12th, 1916
Stripped of theorizing, sepcula
tion and comment, the Progressive
Miner of the 17th inst, says:
The storekeeper at Dolornj refus
ed his boat to rescue a man adrift
on the ‘North Cape’ which was
; broken down outside the harbor.
That there was a heavy storm.
That he said the boat in the har
; bor was not his and he had no right
to use it.
That he refused to go even for
payment and even though the res
; ponsiblity would not rest on him
; but on the applicant for help. Al
so that he had no lisence to run
| the boat.
On the night • of Saturday, Feb
| ruary 12th, 1916, say about 8:30
p. m. (Mr. Acton’s time is a little
in advance) Mr. G. H. Acton
brought a fisherman to me (pre
sumably H. Tiederman, but for pur
I poses of identification it may be
said that the man had an impedi
{ ment in his speech) and told me
i that the North Cape was broken
down outside the harbor, between
Adam’s Point and Moira Rock.
Mr. Acton said the man had
come to him asking him to go out
! and tow him in but as his boat was
1 only small, 16 ft. with 2 H. P. en
] gine, he had come to see if I could
: use one of our boats.
M’e have two boats here—the
Eurus, dismantled, boarded over
and laved up for the winter, and the
Gray, 10 H. P., in use.
I told him that we would do our
. best and the fisherman rowed me
down to the engineer’s house and
I instructed the engineer to do his
best for the man. He worked for
over an hour on the boat but did
not get her started. Later inves
tigation showed that one of the ex- !
haust valves was not functioning.
According to the engineer, the fish
erman then told him that it was
no use spending any more time on
her and he would get Mr. Acton to
go. They came ashore and the
fisherman took Mr. Acton away I
! with him to Mr. Acton’s boat. They
started about 10:15 pan, - .
On Sunday I rowed down to Mr.
Acton’s place to see if he had
returned and not finding him, row
ed out to see if anything was to
be seen of him. Just outside the
harbor I saw two fishing boats and
told them the circumstances. They
told me to come back and let them
know if I found both boats brok
; en down and then one of them
! would go and pull them in. A
: matter of twenty minutes iater I
saw Mr. Acton coming round
Adam’s Point and he informed me
of his inability to help the North
Cape himself, owing to the gaso
line misunderstanding and how he
had got help for them.
This closed the episode until the
Tahn came here on Monday and
said that they were out looking for
the North Cape. There was then
a storm blowing and the Tahn stop
ped here until Tuesday morning.
Wm. B. Boyce.
Comments on Article in Progres
sive-Miner
There was no refusal nor unwil
lingness to help the fisherman. He
was told that we would do our
j best.
The storm is strictly imaginary.
| It was a calm, quiet night. (See
i Mr. Acton’s report of weather con
| ditions.) The opinion of the boat
! men here is that the men on the
North Cape with their two row
boats eould have easily towed the
82 ft. (size given by fisherman)
North Cape in themselves.
Storm did not arise until Sun
day afternoon. Mr. Acton run
ning around all night in his 16 ft.
boat is, perhaps, sufficient com
ment on the weather.
I had no discussion with the fish
erman re payment, responsibility,
lisence or right to run the boats,
these naturally having no weight
on the point at issue.
It might be mentioned that both
boats have been out before in em
ergency cases, in other wrecks, un
der my direction, regardless of any
of the above points.
Wm. B. Boyce.
The store-keeper at Dolomi has j
asked me to make a plain state- |
ment of matters on the night of j
February 12, in connection with the |
ioss of the North Cape, to correct
a misunderstanding of the matter i
involving himself.
About 9 o’clock on Saturday night j
I was visited in my cabin in Dol- I
omi harbor by a man who came m !
a row boat. He declared that the ;
