A middle aged respectably dressed woman who gave her name as Moore has just completed what most people would call an interesting trip out from Dawson. Mrs. Moore came down from the north on the Amur, having allegedly stowed away aboard that vessel at
Skagway when she left there on Wednesday evening last.
The Amur had been traveling all night before the alleged stowaway was discovered. Purser McLaughlin approached her after he had been made aware of her presence and requested her to deliver over either a ticket or the amount of $30, which would answer
just as well. Mrs. Moore claimed she was broke and unable to pay her fare, but that she would be able to fix matters up when Vancouver was reached.
Cap't. McLeod ordered Mrs. Moore to be treated as a first class passenger, and when Vancouver was reached yesterday morning the facts of the case were reported to the officials here. C. P. R. Constable Gadsby interviewed Mrs. Moore, but with all the persuasion brought to bear upon her, Mrs. Moore still held out that she was minus
the wherewithal to pay for her passage from Skagway. The Amur then proceeded to Ladysmith to coal tor the return journey north with Mrs. Moore still a passenger at the ship's expense.
When the Amur reached port this morning about 9:30 from Ladysmith Mrs. Moore was stillon board, but refused to cash in, though threatened by the officers that they would take her back to Skagway and put her ashore there.
A representative of the Province ventured advard the Amur this morning aod attempted to interview Mrs. Moore, but she would not talk, though she stated information might be secured from her solicitor, a well known local barrister.
Late this morning Mrs. Moore cashed up and reached terra firma - Vancouver Province, Nov. 24.
The Mrs. Moore mentioned above is the same woman who stowed away on the Prospector at Dawson and refused to leave the stateroom during the trip up the river but on whom a fellow traveler took pity and paid her fare when the steamer people refused to allow her to land at this place.
Later Mrs. Moore beat the White Pass hotel out of a price of a week's
lodging by quietly leaving on foot for Skagway.
