Musa Danjuma Interview
The Nigerian maritime scene highly reckons with the Comet Group of companies because it has managed to position its services strategically in the nation's sea trade. One of the major architects of the Comet Group is Mr Musa Danjuma. A barrister by calling, he bestrides the Comet Group, ably taking over from where his brother, retired General T.Y. Danjuma, left off in the management of the companies. But how did the younger sibling grow into this role as the manager of men and resources to build such a formidable small empire…one that currently spans many sectors of the economy? And not just Lilliputian sectors but lucrative ones like oil and gas, electricity, blue-chips stocks and computing solutions; not to talk of the starting points of shipping and allied marine industries. How did this venture which started from a second floor office space at Commercial Road Apapa Lagos in 1984 reposition itself in Nigeria's corporate world beginning from the marine sector? The latest conspicuous addition to the corporate family is Fivestar Logistics Ltd.
The magazine (www.ddhmag.com) has tried to capture the story of Comet Group's enlargement and growth by interacting with the key players of the household: the chairman, Barrister Musa Danjuma and the managing director, Mr. P. Luigi Carodanno, and the exclusive interviews are interesting and diverse, ranging from business to pleasure to politics and even hints of their social and family life. Their views reveal the huge, unquantifiable, potentials abounding in the Nigerian commonwealth but a lot of work still needs to be done to transform them into the dreams of a better society and the advanced nation she should be. Excerpts:
How do you view your relationship with your senior brother, General T.Y. Danjuma?
Musa Danjuma: My brother…I would actually say is my father because he is my mentor, he is my father per se. He has such a huge landmark that for me to attempt to be like him is like a child wearing his father's shoes. He can only drag it. So, I tried as much as possible to cultivate my life to emulate him. He is the patriarch of my family.
He didn't try to drag you into the army?
Musa Danjuma: No, no, no. He did not. We are only two in the family. There's a huge gap between us in age; in fact, he says I was an accident. Because he was already in college, he came home on holidays and found that his mother was pregnant. (General laughter). He had thought he was the only child. So, I feel biologically as his brother but he looks at me as a son; treats me the same.
So, in terms of following one's footsteps, one would wonder how you veered into the legal profession?
Musa Danjuma: The person that inspired me to read law was the late (Ken) Saro Wiwa. My brother then was the GOC of 3 rd Division in Port Harcourt after the war. He was acting Governor. Diette Spiff was the Governor and went on leave. My brother then was the Governor. Saro Wiwa was a commissioner in River State government. So he came to see my brother; I had then come after finishing my high school preparing to go to university. I wanted to read political science. Saro Wiwa said go and read law; with law, the discipline exposes you to all professions. It makes you self reliant… if you are a lawyer, you can be a politician, if you are a lawyer you can be an administrator. My brother said okay fine go and read law. And this is how the thing came about.

But Saro Wiwa wasn't a lawyer, was he?
Musa Danjuma: He wasn't but he respected the profession.
So you went to Zaria?
Musa Danjuma: Yeah, I went to ABU (Ahmadu Bello University Zaria), got my law degree and …
Did you go to law school?
Musa Danjuma: Oh yeah, I went to law school.
Did you practice?
Musa Danjuma: I practiced. I was legal adviser to the Customs and Excise (Department), I practiced. And then I went also to Lagos Business School. We were in the first programme for chief executives, the pioneers. And we also went to Spain, to Barcelona as part of the programme. It also enlightens you about business in Nigerian environment and makes you more articulate in how to manage businesses.
By that time you had started venturing out in the business world?
Musa Danjuma: Of course, yes. Right now we have about nine companies from shipping, fishing, activities in the oil industry, maintenance of oil rigs, supply of chemicals and drilling mud and maintenance of (oilfield) equipment. We also have trading companies and of course, port operations.
Did the Lagos Business School experience help you for expertise in managing these outfits?
Musa Danjuma: Sure because, it makes you articulate and to know your directions in taking decisions on how to move the businesses forward.
Does it help for executives to actually go through a course like this to know what to do in the workplace?
Musa Danjuma: Absolutely. I have sent a lot of my managers to the course, you know. I recommend it for Nigerians, there's no point to go abroad because course like these are programmed for the country, which is quite commendable.
Taking you back to your businesses, how was the transition from the start to the present times?
Musa Danjuma: My brother, again, started the shipping line and also the agency. Of course, they say a tree must have branches. Then, I joined him as executive director. And we have a lot of expatriates. The expatriates are very dedicated. The difference between the expatriate and the Nigerian is that he is dedicated. Even if there is stealing, the expatriate will steal and make sure he makes profit for you for the business to continue. You may not know that he is stealing. (General laughter). But the Nigerian will steal the capital and kill the company (More laughter). So this is the difference.
How did you learn this?
Musa Danjuma: By working with them. They are very dedicated; I have managers that work day and night. I have Italians, Germans, Indians, Pakistanis, Polish, they are very dedicated. They are expensive but they earn their pay, in the sense that they deserve the dollar they earn. And business is their life. The Nigerians…we have a long way with our attitude to work in the sense that a lot of our managers are complacent. Some are even indifferent, you know; you have to push them, you have to motivate them, etc…And it all goes back to the values we have imbibed even right from school. Today, we blame our leaders about corruption. But you have corruption even in the private sector. You remember the failed banks, the collapse of the shipping lines. I think we should look inwards at ourselves instead of passing the buck, and not say, 'oh politicians are corrupt' and so on and so forth. And you find that each time we have new crop of leaders, they are the same. We had said we wanted new generation of leaders, you know, the old have been there and they run the country down, and you found they were even worse. So, there's something wrong in us as a people.
Is it our education?
Musa Danjuma: I think so, the values, in fact. You find somebody finishing school, even while in school, we look beyond our means. You are thinking of what kind of car you are going to buy. You are looking at people who have acquired wealth, you don't care how they acquired that. So you find that we have false sense of values.
So this leads to the corruption?
Musa Danjuma: Yes, and you find that those that acquired wealth through illegal means, we easily forget, we just praise them for what they are, nothing happens to them; in fact, they are given awards for corruption.
We know that you have businesses in critical sectors like shipping, oil and gas, etc. These are sectors that earn most of the money for the nation and you are a major player. How has it been for you in recent times?
Musa Danjuma: It's been pretty difficult; I mean look at the ( Niger) Delta problem.
Everybody thinks if you are in oil and gas business, you make millions…?
Musa Danjuma: It's not possible…it's a concept. You still have to work extra hard. Nigeria is a hostile environment, look at the Delta problem. We have supply boats, boats that go out to maintain oil rigs midstream. The boats were attacked by militants. The crew were beaten up and so on and so forth… That's my experience. We have fishing boats. Sea pirates attacked them several times, seized their catch, seized their money and injured a couple of the crew. This is what happens in our environment. In Port Harcourt, we have had threats from hooligans. They are taking advantage of the problems there, threatening that they will burn down our offices otherwise, if we don't pay royalties to them, N3m. We've had our expatriate staff kidnapped, at a nightclub in Port Harcourt. The former Governor of River State, (Dr Peter Odili), negotiated for his release; he was kept for two weeks. So, this is what you deal with; it's not been rosy as such. But you still have to work hard. You see, it is much more difficult to sustain an empire than to build it. You will find that most icons who built empires, that the empires died as soon as they passed away because they were not properly sustained. I don't sit back and say, well, my mentor is there, he is a general, or we are so wealthy and therefore, I should just sit down and enjoy it. So the empire has to be sustained and it requires continuous hard work.
The Niger Delta problem has affected your business in terms of earnings, etc?
Musa Danjuma: Absolutely.
Do you see it as a lull in your fortunes?
Musa Danjuma: Not really because we have business in various sectors of the economy. Therefore we don't have all our eggs in one basket. We are still doing well in shipping. The terminal (Fivestar Logistics Ltd), we have invested a lot of money, over $20m to renovate the terminal, build warehouses, and create spaces for putting containers, you know containers are very heavy. So, we have invested a lot there, we are pretty busy.
With your knowledge about the Niger Delta and as an operator, how do you think you can get out of that situation?
Musa Danjuma: It's a political problem and requires a political solution. They (Delta peoples) have a case. Pilferage, pollution, and underdevelopment. But their leaders too, especially, the Governors, must account and apply the funds they receive and also it requires the federal government massive investment there. In fact, the President should declare an emergency there. Maybe create a ministry that should give account of what they are doing. And when all these things are done, it will become a criminal offence for militants to riot because they will have no case. At the moment they have a case. You will not find solution by sending troops there to kill everybody, etc. It will be foolhardy. And I am glad that the President has made it one of his priorities because oil is the base of our economy.
Looking at our economy, what new sectors will you suggest or how would you go about growing it?
Musa Danjuma: My concern is the dependence on oil. Look at other countries. Tourism, you find many other countries that have nothing and you see how they have prospered, you know. Our environment is very hostile, nobody comes in here as a tourist, you know. Nigerians now go to Ghana for holidays. Nigerians send their children to Ghana to school. Some years ago we had Ghana must go, I believe that the Ghanaians will now be saying that Nigerians must go. You see, our infrastructure have collapsed. NEPA (PHCN)… In Ghana, nobody talks about power failure. The former President (Chief Obasanjo) moved NEPA to the presidency; it's still what it is today. Same for the other services. Schools system have collapsed. Most people send children abroad. Medical services, we had our leaders, the former Vice-President traveled abroad (for a knee injury) and the present President went abroad…. The roads are all broken up. And I was abroad, in the US, and a friend told me that, oh! you wealthy Nigerians have run the country down, and you are responsible, you are corrupt and so on and so forth. And I told him that look, show me your generator, show me your mai-guard, who is guarding you, show me your borehole. Because here in my house, they send me water bill, I don't receive water, I have a borehole. My generator, we are running generator as we speak. And we do that everyday. They send me electricity bills, I pay electricity bills, you know. And security, I have security guards out there, I had to install closed circuit television system for security. So, I am virtually a local government, that's the point I am trying to make. I am a local government unto myself. Now, I receive bills; am also expected to pay tax, and I pay tax. Then I begin to ask myself, what do they do with this money that I pay, tax and all these bills?
Do you see any hope at all in the situation, and how do we begin to go back…?
Musa Danjuma: We require a Marshall Plan. We have to go back as a people and ask ourselves because countries that had independence with Nigeria like Malaysia, Singapore, when you go there they are better than ourselves. We squandered our earnings. I don't want to point to leaders. The easiest thing is (to point accusing fingers) but as I said corruption is in all facets of the economy, public and private sectors… People take money out that they cannot spend.
How do you see what EFCC is doing as a hope?
Musa Danjuma: It's very good, I think the President should encourage them, empower them. People should account. I read that the former governors are being invited, people should account for their role in government. It's not a market where people just go and collect public money and stack them away, and they are not called to account. People should be called to account. It should be done civilly, because all said and done, we are in a democracy. So, I am happy they are being invited. I am happy they are charged to court, due process, you understand. So that we don't give the wrong signal that we are back to the military system where governors were just arrested and locked up without any due process.
Taking you back to business, are there any sectors or new businesses which you think could bring in huge income to us a nation or something like that beside the traditional oil and gas or shipping, etc?
Musa Danjuma: Yeah, you know, manufacturing. But you see the problem is government, they change their policies so often. Way back we wanted to, for instance, set up a factory to produce milk using soyabeans. Then they introduced SAP (Structural Adjustment Programme). We found out that we could not market it and that killed it. Right now, we are trying to set up a factory to produce synthetics and plastics and we also having a company that produces portakabins and spares for cars, a machine tools company in Port Harcourt. You know, because we do too much imports and we should begin now to produce goods here so that we don't take money out. We should bring in raw materials. We should begin to look inwards.
What about food and agriculture, etc. With Taraba state being known as a food basket…?
Musa Danjuma: Yes, it is a food basket. The issue is of course, the eating habit of our people. They produce yams, you understand. Now, if you go to Shoprite (in Lagos), you will think they import all the fruits, all the vegetables that are sold there. They are all from here. We have an expanse of land outside Abuja, we intend to set up large scale farming there to produce sorghum, beans, that we can even export. Agriculture if not done in a large quantity becomes virtually meaningless.
Let's know what your daily routine looks like. On Monday morning, for example…?
Musa Danjuma: Monday morning, I get up first in the morning around 7 o'clock, I play squash or I swim, if I am not going to Abuja or Port Harcourt, I will do some form of exercise. Because I believe that we crave for money so much that we forget looking after ourselves. We also forget to enjoy life, we forget to keep fit. So, I will go the gym which is quite handy there before I go to work. Am there till 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening. Then I will go to the boat club where I will meet chief executives, we interact on various (issues), politics, business, exchange views, you know, before my day ends.
And your family…?
Musa Danjuma: I am a family man. I take them out at weekends, on boat rides or go to the beach. Fridays, we go to happy hour at the boat club where there is music and food and a form of entertainment. I am also a very religious man, I go to church every Sunday, if I am in town. I believe that I should, you know, appreciate God's favour, and also pray for the family and the country.
What is your denomination?
Musa Danjuma: Anglican; I go to Our Saviour's Church at Tafawa Balewa Square ( Lagos).

Bally Soy Protein Bars® were introduced in 2002. At that time, the company CEO proclaimed:
"With the addition of the soy protein line, we're cementing our position as an important player in nutritional supplements. As the leader in fitness and nutrition, we're constantly looking to offer healthier snack and meal replacement choices that cater to our consumers' ever-growing fitness and nutritional needs. And, it is our every intention to enhance this segment of the business as we strengthen the overall position of the Bally Total Fitness® brand in all aspects of health and fitness. Everywhere that Bally Soy Protein Bars have been available, people have told us they're absolutely delicious and unlike anything they've tasted before. And, we look forward to having the rest of the country decide for themselves."
To decide for ourselves, we bought a bar today (retail value $1.69 + tax). It was the Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Flavored, the last word being a legal add-on to clarify that the product likely contains no real chocolate, peanut butter or crunch. Anyway, the CEO was right—the bar is unlike anything we've tasted before. But only because we've never actually tasted shit.
Enjoy your workout.

(From The Nelson Daily News) Grand Forks, April 28.���Some interesting figures have just been obtained regarding the growth and prosperity of the famous fruit ranch of this valley known as the Covert estate, which consists of 320 acres four miles west of Grand Forks. It was away back in the year 1885 that W. H. Covert, with great foresight, predicted that the Kettle valley would be a great fruit producer, and brought some 25 young apple, Deach, plum, and pear trees, from Spokane by pack animals. These 25 trees were the commencement of the greatest fruit ranch in the Boundary district. The Covert estate today consists of some.18,000 fruit trees, about 1000 of which are Italian prunes. There are also about 400 peach, 400 plum and 400 pear trees, the balance being apple. Last year there were seven carloads of these prunes shipped to the markets of the middle provinces and four cars of apples, the balance of the crop being used by the local markets. The apples brought $2 per box while the prunes were shipped at three cents per pound. This land, which in the year 1885 was had for the mere locating of it, is quoted to-day where the seven- year old trees are growing at $500 per acre and up. The soil of the Covert estate is a black loam with a clay subsoil. An, irrigation plant has been operating on this estate now for years, which has over two miles of wire bound wooden pipe. On 160 acres of this estate, which has been sub-divided into 10-acre lots, water is delivered free of charge. This water is taken from Fourth of July creek and has a fall of 365 feet. The irrigation system complete cost $10,. 000. It has been proved that trees of seven years of age grown on this estate will yield two boxes of fruit to the tree, and last year some trees produced as much as siz boxes to the tree. Fruit from this estate has become famous now all through the west and has taken prizes at various exhibitions in; the province. The above information relating to this famous estate was kindly furnished by W. Hi Covert, the original owner of the estate, who was interviewed on the subject. Local and Personal Molasses in bulk for cutworms ���at Layton's. Another Good Advertisement for Hood River Apples. The order from the Chinese government for ten boxes of Hood River apples to be placed on display at an exhibit to be made at Pekin this winter would seem to indicate that the long talked of awakening of China has arrived. However, it appears that China has been supplied heretofore with Japanese apples, and having developed an appetite for the fruit that is supposed to symbolize man's fall from grace, wants a change. The Japanese fruit is said to resemble its native sons, being both small and brown, and to have become particularly unpalatable to the residents of the Flowery Kingdom since the conquests of its smaller neighbor. Let us hope that the flavor of American fruit will create as fervid desire for more as did the poor-house gruel to Oliver Twist, and that the countless millions of China will soon be munching them.���Better Fruit.

The committee in charge of the arrangements are leaving no stones unturned to make this dance a huge success. The amount of tree planting that has been done this spring in the vicinity of Penticton can be appreciated only by those who have gone over the ground. Practically all the land in the vicinity of Four Mile Creek,, which was untouched last year, has been planted out. The residence of Capt. I. M. Stevens came very near being destroyed by fire last Sunday. Both Mr. and Mrs. Stevens were absent when fire broke out in the kitchen, and but for the assistance of a number of men who happened to be in the vicinity, the finest dwelling in town would have been totally destroyed.

We would suggest that the cemetery committee take another whorl at locating a cemetery site. There is a lot comprising nearly ten acres adjoining the Main St. Reservation which can be secured from the Land Co. for cemetery purposes. Last Saturday we looked the property over and are of opinion that it is superior to any lot yet examined. It is high and dry, good soil, pleasant surroundings, easily accessible from Main Street, with a good road from town. F. F. Busteed, general superintendent for the C. P. R. at Vancouver, J. W.

Mr. Robertson promised to do what he could in the matter. Grapes in the Kettle Valley. ��� Frand Forks, April 29.���From present appearances the culture of grapes in the Kettle valley surrounding Grand Forks will be very extensively prosecuted this spring. It is stated to-day that at least 3,000 grapevines will be planted here during the next few weeks and that number will be more than doubled next fall, which is really the proper time for their planting. Mr. A. D. Morrison, one of the local authorities on grape culture, says that at his private residence in west Grand Forks he has successfully grown grapes and that one vine he has which is four years of age last year yielded 75 pounds of grapes. Mr. Morrison states that grapevines four years of age, in this valley, should produce at least 50 pounds of grapes to the vine. These vines, if planted 10 feet apart, would make 175 vines to the acre, which at 50 pounds to the vine, would he 8750 pounds. Allowing eight cents per pound for the grapes would make $700 for the grapes produced on one acre of land after four years. Owing to the great amount of sunshine in the Kettle valley this section is especially adapted to the culture of this most prolific of fruit. Miss Mabel Rowe Teacher of Piano, Organ and Theory.

The manner in which the party papers try to make political capital out of nothing is sickening in the extreme. Every trivial disagreement in the following oi either party is seized as a pretext by the opposition in an attempt to show that disaffection exists in the ranks of the other. This shallow practice has been worked for all it is worth in the reports appearing in the party- press of the conventions recently held in Vernon. According tc the Conservative papers ont would be led to believe that Duncan Ross had received the Liberal nomination purely through the manipulations of the party machine, and that a large sectior. of the Liberals were about tc withdraw their support altogether. On the other hand, the Liberal papers depict the Conservative convention as little short of a free fight. Such talk, from either side, is pure nonsense, and ill becomes the dignity of any paper. It is so shallow that evei the most stupid elector could see through it and it can not serve to win a single vote on either side. It is this abandonment to every sense of decency that is corrupting Canadian politics to-day. When a journal devotes itself tc blackguarding every action of itt political opponents, and condoning every action of the party which it supports, politics have reached a sorry plight. An intelligent and honest-minded elector is likely to arrive at the conclusion that politics are amass oi corruption and politicians a set of grafters. Such journalism lowers the standard of politicians and reduces political ideals to a river-bed level. If the newspapers of Canada would appeal to the higher element of their readers instead of attempting tc tickle the ears of the most base, selfish and ignorant we should soon have a new and worthier state of politics. Let no person revel in vain imaginings that the approaching Dominion election is to be won and lost by any considerable portion of either party avowing the cause of the other. Both parties present a soHd front, and whichever wins will do so by organization and hard, solid work. Editorial Notes The central and northern states had two inches of snow on April 30.

The Dominion government intends to submit to parliament shortly, a bill providing for the construction of a railroad to Hudson Bay, in order to provide a new outlet for western grain.

Okanagan Falls, May 6, 1908. Prevent the Forest fires. 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The protection of a forest from fire is one of the best possible illustrations of the old saying ; for often a few minutes spent in thoroughly extinguishing a camp fire or a quarter of an hour passed in putting out an incipient blaze may mean, and often has meant, the saving of many thousands of dollars' worth of timber. This is the main idea of the patrol system carried on in the Ontario and Quebec forests for years past; what is aimed at is to discover the fire in its early stages and put it out then, before it has a chance to reach large proportions. Small forest fires do a tremendous amount of damage which is not realized. Such fires, burning in the dead leaves and other litter of the forest ("surface" fires) or consuming the soil itself ("ground" fires) wound the roots and bases of the trees and these wounds give an entrance to fungi and insects. In places in the Riding Mountain forest reserve, in Manitoba, it is found that, among the poplar trees, three out of every four are affected with rot in the "butt" log���i.e., the log nearest the stump���a condition which is due to the fact just mentioned, as the reserve has been repeatedly burned over in years past. Most to be feared, of course, are the fires which consume the entire forest, the "crown" fires. Evidence of many of these can be seen in mile after mile of the wooded districts of Cmada, where charred black trunks are all that is left of what was once a thick, green forest. Occasionally even more serious disasters occur, as in the well-known Miramichi, N.B., fire of October, 1825, where 160 lives were lost and a quarter of a million pounds sterling, were lost in property consumed.

As concerns myself. I am rather under a cloud, as I told you. The court martial acquitted me, but It did so wllli reluctance and a warning. I shall have to walk very straight for the next year or two and tie careful not to stub my toe. for the eyes of the admiral are upon me. Ilowerer, I think I can straighten this matter out. I have six months' leave coming on shortly, which I Intend to spend In St. Petersburg. I shall make it my business to see privately some of the officials lu the admiralty there, and when they realize by personal Inspection what a well lutenticned Idiot I am all distrust will vanish." 'i should Co u 3 thing of the kind." rejoined the girl earnestly, quite forgetting the shortness ot their acquaintance, as she had forgotten the flight of time, while on his part he dl.I not notice any Incongruity hi the situation. "I'd leave well enough alone," she added. "Why do you think that?" he asked. "Your own country hns investigated the matter and has deliberately run the risk of unpleasantness by refusing to give you up. How, then, can you go there voluntarily? You would be acting In your private capacity directly Wi opposition to the decision arrived at by your government." "Technically that Is so; still England would not hold tlie post!Ion she does In the world today If her men had not often taken a course In their private capacity which the government would never have sanctioned. As things Btnn 1 now. Russia has not Insisted on her tlemarid, but has sullpnlv accepted England's decision, still quite convinced that my act was not only an Invasion of Itussln's domain, but a deltbor aVte Insult; therefore thrf worst results of an inconsiderate action on tu.v part remains, if I could see the minister for foreign affairs or the head of the admiralty iu St. Petersburg face to face for ten minutes I'd undertake to remove that Impression." "You have great faith in your persuasive powers," she said demurely. The lieutenant began to stammer again. "No, no. it Isn't so much that, but I have great faith in the Russian as ii judge of character. I suppose I am Imagined to be a venomous, brow* beating, truculent Russophobe, who has maliciously violated their terrU tory. flinging u shell into their ground and an Insult Into their face. They are quite sincere In this belief. I wnnr to remove that Impression, aud there's nothing like an ocular demonstration. I like the Russians. One of my best friends is a Russian." The girl shook her Ileal "I shouldn't attempt It." she persisted. "8up|X)se Russia arrested you and said to England, 'We've got this man in spite of yon ?' " The lieutenant laughed heartily. "Thatlsunthlnkable, Russlti wouldn't do such a thing. In spite of all that lit said about the Russian government Ita members are gentlemen. Of course if such a thin: happened there would be trouble. That Is n point where we're touchy. A ver ell ��� up Englishman wrongfully detilllle I may cause a most expensive cam pa I :n. Our diplomatists may act correctly enough an 1 yet leavn a feeling of resen* uent behind. Take this very case Britain says coldly to Russia: " 'We disclaim the act and apologize." "Now. It would be nine h nore to '.he purpose If slip sail genially: "'We have in our employment an Impetuous young fool with a thirst for Information. He wished tn learn how a new piece of ordnance would act. so fired It o(T with no more intention of striking Russia than of hitting the moon. He knows much more about dancing than about foreign affairs. We've given him a month's leave, and he will slip across privately to St Petersburg to apologise and explain. The moment you sec bin yon will recognise he is no menace to tbe peace of nations. Meanwhile if yon can Inculcate in hlni some cold, calm common sense before he returns we'll be ever so much obliTed.'" "So yon are determined to do what you think the government should have done." "Oh. quite. There will be nothln? frigidly official about my unauthorized mission. I have a cousin In the embassy at St. Petersburg, but I shan't go near him; neither shall I go tn a hotel. but will get quiet rooms somewhere that I may not run the risk of meeting any chance acquaintances." "It seems to me you are to afford the Russian government an excellent opportunity of spiriting you off to Siberia, and nobody would b:1 the wiser." Drumniond Indulged In the free hearted laugh of a youth to whom life Is still rather a good joke. "I shouldn't mind studying the Siberian system from the inside if they allowed me to return before my leave was up. I believe that sort of thing lias been exaggerated by sensational writers. The Russian government would not countenance anything of the kind, and If the minor officials tried to piny tricks there's always my cousin in the background, and it would be hard luck If I couldn't get a Hue to him. Oh, there's no danger in my project!" Suddenly the glr. came to a standstill and gave expression to a little cry of dismay. ������^���'���"'.'���j wiouii" asued ths lleutenuut. "Why, we've walked cleat out Into tbe country!" "Oh, is that all? I hadn't notlc?d " "And there are people waiting for me. I must run." "Nonsense, let them wait." "1 should have been back long since." They had turned, anil she was hurrying. "Think of your new fortune, Miss Amhurst. safely lodged In our friend Morton's bank, and don't hurry foi any one." "I didn't say It was a fortune There's only $10,000 there." "That sounds formidable, but unless the people who are waiting for you muster more than $10,000 apiece 1 dou't think you should make haste on their account." "It's the other way about. Mr. Drum inond. Individually they arc poorei than I, therefore I should have returned long ago. Now, I fear, they will be In a temper." "Well. If anybody left me ��2,000 I'd take au afternoon off to celebrate. Here we are In the suburbs again. Won't you change your mind nnd your direction? Let us get back into the country, sit down on the hillside, look at the bay and gloat over yo r wealth " Dorothy Amhurst shook her head and held out her hand. "I must bid you goodby here. Lieutenant Drummond. This Is my shortest way home." "Hay I not accompany you Just a little farther?" "Please, no. I wish to go the rest of the way alone." He held her hand, which she tried to withdraw, and spoke with animation. "There's so much I wanted to say. but perhaps the mo^t important Is this: I shall see you the ni -lit of the 11th at the ball we are giving on the Coaster nation?" "It Is very likely," latvhed tbe girl, "unless yon overlook me In the throng There will be a great mob. I hear yon have issued many Inventions." "We hope all op- friends will pome It's going to be a great function. Tom secretary of the navy his promised t loon In on us, and otir ninhnssadn- from Wnshlng'on will be there. I as sure von we are ''oin- ���>������- '-t wtt' festooned electric lights, banging lira pcries aud all that, for we want to make the occasion at least remotely worthy of the hospitality we have received. Of course you have your card, but I wish you hadn't, so that I might have the privilege of seudlng you one or more Invitations." "That would be quite unnecessary," said tbe girl, agaiu with a slight laugh and heightened color. "If any of your frieuds need cards of Invitation, won't you let me know so that I may send them to you?" "I'm sure I shan't need nny. but If I do I promise to rememher your kindness and apply." "It will be a pleasure for me to serve you. With whom shall you come? I should like to know the name In case I should miss you In the crowd." "1 expect to be with ('Hptuin Kempt of the Pnlted States navy." "Ah!" snld the lieutenant, with a note of disappointment In his voice which be had not the diplomacy to conceal. Ills hold of her hand relaxed, nnd she took the opportunity to withdraw It. "What sort of a man Is Captain Kempt? I shall he on the lookout for him, yon know." "I think he Is the handsomest man I have ever seen, and I know he Is the kindest and most courteous." "Really? A young man. I take It?" "There speaks the conceit of youth." snld Dorothy, smiling. "Captnin Kempt. IJ. 8. N.. retired. His youngest daughter Is Just two years older than myself." "Oh. yes. Captain Kempt! I���I remember him now. He was at the dinner Inst night and sat beside our captain. What a splendid story teller he Is!" cried the lieutenant, with honest enthusiasm. "I shnll tell him that nnd ask htm how he liked yotir song. Goodby." And before the young mnn eould collect his thoughts to make any reply she was gone. Skimming lightly over the ground at first, she gradually slackened her pace and slowed down to a very sober walk until she came to a three storied so called "cottage" overlooking the bay. Then, with a sigh, she opened the gate and went Into the house by the servants' entrance. CHAPTER II. FIREE women occupied the sewing room with the spleudid out look, a mother and her two daughters. The mother sat In low rocking chair, a picture of T inoumtul tiei.i.esmess, her hands listlessly resting on her lap, while tears had left their trace' on her tine worn fai e. The older unnghter paced up and down tbe room as striking an example of energy and Impatience as was the mother of despondency. Her comely brow was marred by an angry frown. The younger daughter stood by the long window, her forehead resting against tbe pane, while her fingers drummed Idly on the window sill. Her gaze was fixed on the blue bay, where rested the huge British warship Consternation, surrounded by a section of the United States squadron, seated like white swaus iu the water. Sails of snow glistened here and there on the bosom of the bay while motor boats and what not darted this way and that Impudently among the stately ships of the tleet. In one corner of the room stood ��� rewing machine, and on the long table were piles of flimsy stuff out of which feminine creations are constructed There was no carpet on the floor and no celling overhead, merely tbe bare rafters nnd tbe boards that bore the I tut* shingles of the outer roof yet thl attic was notable for the glorious view- to be seen from its window. It was an ideal workshop. The elder girl as she walked to and fro spoke with nervous irritation in her voice. "There Is absolutely no excuse, mam ma. and It's Weakness In you to pre tend that there may be. The woman bus been gone for hours. There's hei lunch on the table, which has neve been tasted, and the servaut brough it up at 12." She pointed to a tray on which wen- dlsbei whose cold contents bore out the truth of her remark. "Perhaps she's gone on strike." said the younger daughter without remov Ing her eyes from II. M. 8. Consterna tion. "I shouldn't wonder if we went downstairs again we'd find the housi picketed to keep away blacklegs." "Oh. you can always he depended otto talk frivolous nonsense!" said ber elder sister scornfully. "It's the silly sentimental fashion In which both you and father trent work people that makes them so difficult to deal with If the working classes were taught their place"��� "Working classes! How you talk! Dorothy Is as much a lady as we are, and sometimes I think rather more ol a lady than either of us. She Is the daughter of a clergyman." "So she says," sniffed the elder girl. "Well, she ought to Uuow," replied the younger Indifferently. "It's people like you who spoil de pendents in ber position, with you- Dorothy this and Dorothy that.

Why, I don't suppose Dorothy has had a penny for three months, nnd yon know the dress material was bought on credit." "You must remember." cblded th�� mother mildly, "that your father Is not rich." "Oh. I am only pleading for a little humanity. The girl for some reason hns gone out. She hasn't hnd a bite to eat since breakfast time, and I know there's not a sliver piece in her pocket to buy a bun In a milk shop." "She has no business to lie ahaent without leave." said Sablna. "How you talk! As if she were a sailor on a battleship���I mean a cruiser." "Where can the girl have goneT" walled tbe mother, almost wringing her bands, partially overcome by the crisis. "Did she say anything about going out to you. Katherine? She sometimes makes a confidant of you, doesn't she?" "Confidant!" exclaimed Sablna wrath- fully. "I know where she has gone," said Katherine. with an innocent sigh. "Then why didn't you tell us before?" excluinied mother nnd daughter In almost identical terms. "She has eloped with the cnptaln of the Consternation." explained Katherine calmly, little guessing that ber words contained a color of truth. "Papa sat next him at the dinner last ulght and says be is a jolly old salt and a bachelor. Papa was tremendously taken with btm, and they discussed tactics together. Indeed, papa ias quite a distinct English accent ibis morning and, I suspect, a little bit of a headache, which he triea to con- eal with a wavering smile. "You can't conceal a headache, Demise It's Invisible," said the mother e.lously. "I wish you wouldn't talk so carelessly, Katherine, and you mustn't speak like that of your father." . "Oh. papa and 1 understand one another," affirmed Katherine, with great confidence, and now for the first time during this conversation tbe young girl turned her face away from the window, for the door had opened to let lu tbe culprit "Now. Amhurst. what Is the meaning of this?" cried Sabina before her foot was fairly across the threshold. All three women looked nt the newcomer. Her beautiful face was aglow, probably through tbe exertion of coming up the stairs, aud her eyes shone like those of the goddess of freedom as she returned steadfastly tbe supercilious stare with which the tall Sablna regarded her. "1 was detained," she said quietly. "Why did you go away without permission?" "Because I had business to do which conld not be transacted in this room." "That doesn't answer my question. Why did you not ask permission?" The girl slowly raised her two hands und showed her shapely wrists close together and a bit of thp forearm not covered by the sleeve of her black dress. "Because." she said slowly, "the hackles have fallen from these wrists." "I'm sure I don't know what you inenn," said Sabina. apparently im ���Aiiihurat,, whul ia the meaning of this 1" pressed In spite of herself, but tbe younger daughter clapped her harul-t rapturously. "Splendid, splendid, Dorothy!" she cried. "1 don't know what you mean either, but yon look like Maxlnc Elliot in thnt play where she"��� "Will you keep quiet?" interrupted the elder sister over her shoulder. "I menn that I Intend to sew here no longer." proclaimed Dorothy. "Oh. Miss Amhurst, Miss Amhurst." bemoaned the matron, "you will heartlessly leave us in this crisis when we ire helpless, when there Is not a sew- ng woman to be bad In the place for 'ove or money! Every one is working .light and day to be ready for the ball iu the 14th. and you���you whom we iave nurtured"��� "I suppose she gets more money." nattered the elder daughter bitterly "Ob, Dorothy," said Katherine, coning a step forward und clasping ber muds, "do you mean to say I must .ttend tbe ball hi a calico dress, after ill? But I'm going nevertheless, If I lance In a morning wrapper." "Katherine." cblded her mother, don't talk like that!" "Of course, where more monev is in the question kindness does not count," snapped the elder daughter. Dorothy Amhurst smiled when Sabina mentioned tbe word kindness. "With me, of course. It's entirely a question of money," she admitted. "Dorothy, 1 never thought It of you," snld Katherine, with an exaggerated sigh. "I wish It were a fancy dress ball, then I'd borrow my brother Jack's uniform and go in that" "Katherine. I'm shocked at you," complained the mother. "I dou't care. I'd make a stunning little naval cadet. But, Dorothy, you must be starved to death. You've never touched your lunch." "You seem to have forgotten everything today." snld Sabina severely. "Duty aud everything else." "You are quite right," murmured Dorothy. "Aud did you elope witb the captain of the Consteruntlou. and were you married secretly, aud was It before a Justice of tbe peace? Do tell us all about It." "What are you saying?" asked Dorothy, with a momentary alarm coming into ber eyes. "Ob, I wm just telling mother and Sab that you had skipped by the light of the noon with the cnptaln of the Consternation, who was a jolly old bachelor last ulght, but may be a mar rled man today If my suspicions are correct. Oh, Dorothy, must I go to the ball lu a dress of print?" The sewing girl bent an affectionate look ou tbe impulsive Katherine. "Kate, dear," she said, "you shnll wenr the grandest ball dress that ever was seen In Bnr Harbor." "How dare you call my sister Kate and talk such nonsense?" demanded Sablna. "1 shall always call you Miss Kempt, aud now, if I have your permission, I will sit down. I am tired." "Yes, and hungry, too." cried Katherine. "What shall I get you, Dorothy? This is all cold." "Thank you, I am not In the least hungry." "Wouldn't you like a cup of tea?" Dorothy laughed a little wearily. "Yes, I would," she said, "and some bread aud butter." "And cake too," suggested Katherine. "And enke. too. If jou please." ICaUterine skipped off downstairs. ���*\\ t*ll. I declare!" ejaculated Sabina. Witb a gasp, drawing herself together as if the bottom bad fallen out of the social fabric. Mrs. Captain Kempt folded her Uands oue over tbe other aud put on a look of patient resignation, as one who Hilda all the old landmarks swept away from before ber. "is there anything else we can get for you?" asked Sabina icily. "Yea," replied Dorothy, with serene confidence; "1 should be very much obliged if Captain Kempt would obtain for me a card of invitation to the ball on the Consternation." "Really!" gasped Sabina. "And may uot my mother supplement my father's efforts by providing you with a ball dress for the occasion?" "1 could not think of troubling her, Miss Kempt. Some of my customers have Haltered me by saying that my taste in dress is artistic and that my designs, if better known, might almost set a fashion in a small way. so I shall look alter my costume myself. But if Mrs. Captain Kempt were kind enough to allow me to attend the bull uuder ber care I should be very gruteful fur It." "How admirable! And is there nothing that 1 cun do to forward your ambitions. Miss Amhurst?" "I am going to the ball merely as a looker on. and perhaps yon might smile at me as you puss by with your different partners, so that people would say I was an acquaintance of yours." After this there was silence in the sewing room until Katherine. followed by a maid, entered with tea anil cakes. Some dress materials tbat rested on a gypsy table were swept aside by tbe Impulsive Katherine. and the table, with the tray upon it. was placed at Ihe right bund of Dorothy Amhurst. When tbe servant left the room, Katherine sidled to the long sewing table, ipriing lightly upon it nnd sat there swinging a dainty little foot. Sablna bad seated herself In the third chair of the room, the frown still adding sever- ;ty to an otherwise beautiful countenance. It was tbe younger daughter ivbo spoke. "Now. Dorothy, tell us all about the elopement." "What elopement?" "1 soothed my mother's fears by telling her that you bad eloped with tbe captain of tbe Consternation. I must have been wrong In tbat guess, because If tbe secret marriage I hoped had taken place you would have said to Sablna tbat tbe shackles were ou your wrists Instead of off. But something important lias happened, nnd I want to know all about It." Dorothy made no response to this ap peal, nnd after a minute's silence Sn 'linn said practically: "All that has happened is that Miss Amhurst wishes father to present her with a ticket to the ball ou the Con ���iternntlon. and. taking that for grant- ���id, she requests mother to chnperou ber and further expresses a desire tbat I shall be exceedingly polite to her while we are on board the cruiser." "Oh." cried Katherine jauntily, "the last proviso Is past praying for, but be other two are quite feasible. I'd e delighted to chaperon Dorothy my- ���If. and ns for politeness, good gra- ni's, I'll be polite enough to make up or all the courteous deneiency ot tne :ost of the family.

Here's your sister aud your cousin and your aunt waiting for the horrifying revela- iou. What has happened?" "I'll tell you what is going to happen.

"Mrs. Captain Kempt will perhaps consent to take vou and me to New York or Boston, where we will put up at the best hotel ind trick ourselves out in ball cos- unies that will be the envy of Bar :Iarbor. I shall pay the expense of :.his trip as partial return for your father's kindness lu getting me an In- ���Itation and your mother's kindness in allowing me to be one of your party." "Oh. then It isn't au elopement but a legacy, lias the wicked but wealthy ���elative died?" "Yes." said Dorothy solemnly, her ���yes on the floor. "Oh, I am so sorry for what I have lust said!" "You always speak without think- ng." cblded her mother. "Yes, don't I? But, you see, I thought somehow thnt Dorothy had no relatives, but If she bad one who wns wealthy and who allowed her to slave nt sewing, then I say he was wicked. dead or alive, so there!" "When work Is paid for It Is not slavery," commented Sablna with se verity and justice. Tbe sewing girl looked up at her. "My grandfather, In Virginia, owned ���slaves before the war. and I have often thought that any curse which may have been attached to slnverj has at least partly been expiated bj me, as foreshadowed in the Bible where it says that the sins nf the fa thers shall affect tbe third or fourtl generations I was thinking of till' when I spoke of the shackles fallin;- from my wrists, for sometimes, MIs^ Kempt, you have made me dotilu whether wages and slavery are as In compatible as yon appear to Imagine My father, who was a clergvnrin often spoke to me of his father's slaves, nnd, while Ik- never defended the Institution, I think the past In bis mind was softened by a glamour tint possibly obscured the defects of life on the plantation But often In de presslon nnd loneliness I have thouglil I would rather have been one of my grandfather's slaves than endure the life I hnve been called upon to lead."

Mrs. Morrin arrived Monday to join her nusband. Mr. Morrin recently purchased the business formerly carried on by the Peachland Trading Company. Two cars of supplies came in Monday for the general store. Mrs. Huston returned home last week, after an extended trip through California which lasted a little over a year. Rev. Dunham, of Sapperton, B. C, occupied the Methodist pulpit, Sunday evening. Mrs. Solie accompanied Rev. Mr. Solie here last Sunday. Mr. Solie held service in the Presbyterian church in the morning, and at Mr. Clarence's home, as usual, in the evening. They were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence until Monday. A number attended the ball which was given in the Naramata opera house Wednesday evening. It was a decided success. A jolly group took in the first excursion of the season Thursday last on the steamer Okanagan to Penticton. The play, "H. M. S. Pinafore," which was given by the Kelownaites at that place, was enjoyed by all. A number of the pleasure seekers drove about Penticton during the interval from the time the steamer reached there until dark, and were greatly impressed both with the beauty of everything and the progress the place has made within the last year. Sacrament was partaken of in the Baptist Church, Sunday morning; also new members were received into the Church. Mr. Chambers, of Vancouver, spent the greater part of the week here in connection with the Peachland Trading Co's business. Mr. Lupton purchased a pretty saddle horse from Geo. Marshall of Westbank on Monday. The Misses Brown of Summer- land were visiting at the homes of Mrs. J. B. Robinson and Mrs. Needham last week.

Our first real hot weather of the season arrived this week, and the blossom-laden fruit trees seem to be enjoying it immensely. Owing to some repairs being made on the Garnet Valley dam, which necessitates the holding back of the water temporarily, the bed of Eneas Creek is entirely dry. Our jeweller and optician, Mr. E. I. Scott, is all smiles these days over the arrival on Friday of last week of his wife and little son, Walter, from Sault Ste Marie. Mr. Scott has a very neat and up-to-date jewelry store in Summerland and intends purchasing a home here. Miss Edith Hayward, of Peachland, was the guest of Mrs. W. J. Robinson during the past week. The many friends of Charles Bell are glad to see him around a-'ain after his accident of a week or so ago. People are hereby notified not to interfere in any way with the flumes or ditches. We cannot permit the boring of holes in main flume, or the blocking up of same for the purpose of taking water. People are warned against the starting of bush fires in the vicinity of the flumes, as this may endanger the whole system and cause serious damage for which the offenders are liable. Any pollution of the water in the flumes and ditches, or the infringement of the above regulations will render the offenders liable to prosecution. Holders of water agreements are required to have their distribution flumes in order before making application for water. All applications and complaints are required to be registered at the Company's office. The Southern Okanagan Land Company, Limited Saturday last was the occasion of another advance step in the business life of Summerland. Our new store on Shaughnessy Ave. is a credit to the town and we wish its proprietor, E. A. Eagle, every success. Rev. J. B. Hicks and his brother, Gideon Hicks, both of Victoria, spent the week's end with Summerland folk, after the lecture given by the Rev. Hicks in the church Friday night. They took part in the service here Sunday evening, the one being the speaker of the evening and the other delighted the large congregation with well rendered solos from time to time. Some excitement was occasioned here on Monday by two horses on the wharf daring one another to take a cold plunge. The affair ended in the usual way, by one falling in and pulling the other in after him. They were soon gotten out, however, and little or no damage was done. KELOWNA Miss Eva Reekie, who has been visiting friends, left town on May 1st. Mr. McKay, one of our local druggists, left for Winnipeg on Friday of last week. It is believed he will not return alone. Rev. A. T. Robinson, of Summerland, has been in town for a few days. He is soliciting subscriptions for his new paper, "The Missionary Arena," which will record the missionary events of the world. "H. M. S. Pinafore," an opera given by local talent, has been much appreciated by the public; so much so, that the third performance was given on Tuesday, April 28th. J. M. D. Thomas has purchased E. R. Bailey's building on Bernard Avenue. Wm. McLean has sold his residence to E. R. Bailey. The Methodist congregation held their annual meeting in the church on the evening of May 4th.
