A reader who signs hirnself “Pro Bono Publico”. has
asked this column why the weather In British Columbla
"seams to be going downhill.” I wasn't really aware that it
had, but | plunged into researching the problem through a
pile of unwritten documents and came up with some start-
sling Information. .

“Pro Bono Publico” suggested that pollu was to

blame, also nuclear blasts, satellites and astronauts walking
on the moon. Nonsense.

What really -happened to our weather can be traced -

back to an event which happened off the West Coast of
Vancouver Island in June, 1886,

The barquentine Fotus Demetrios, Capt. Silas. Mariner,
was inbound from the Sandwich Islands with a general cargo
destined for the new seaport of Vancouver, when a sudden
gale sprang up, snapping her three masts In twine, and
dashing her wooden hull against the treacherous rocks at
the entrance to Barkley Sound, well known as “the grave-
yard of ships.”

That day, many brave souls went to sleep in the deep,
for nary 8 single man, nor a married one, survived the
ordeal,

At dawn, ‘the first of the salvagers arrived at the
wreck, adaughty. old sea-dog (retired) by the name of Capt.
Horatio Nielsen, and he ordered his mate, Fletcher Bligh,
fo board the stricken three-master. No sonner was Bligh
aboard than he heard a plaintiff “meeeooooow” coming
from the captain's cabin, On Investigation, he found the
sweetest looking black kitten you ever did see. Tenderly
Bligh picked it up, and took it to the ships rail to pass it
down to Capt. Nielsen. At that very moment, a giant wave
struck the Fotus Demetrios, and Fletcher Bligh was thrown
overboard and was drowned,

But the black kitten survived, and good Capt. Nielsen
gave it a saucer of milk and decided to give the little pussy
to his children in Victoria,

All the way through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the
cat lay beside the engine control switch, and when the
tug pulled up ot Johnson St. wharf, the black cat was still
there—even when Nielsen rang for full steam astern, and

the boat went full steam ahead, an act which resulted in the ©

wharf disintegrating and a lengthy and costly legal ection
later. é

At first Capt. Nielsen did not see any connection bet-
ween the death of Fletcher Bligh, the wharf disaster and the
black cat, but when he got home, things began to add up.
The black cat chased his Alsation dog all through the house,

wrecking furniture left and right, and finally, to escape the |

black terror the dog plunged through a plate glass window
and hasn't been seen since.
Now th hi d he had a no good cat on

his hands, he decided to give the cat to his bitterest rival
