LIVING HAPPILY
SECLUDED LIFE
Man Who Shot “Dan McGrew”
Should Have Shot His Author
Too, Chuckles Famous Poet of
The Yukon River.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., —
Robert W. Service, the creator of
“Dan McGrew,” emerged from
his comfortable seclusion recent
ly to set at rest with a smile a
storm of controversy which had
arisen over his reported death.
Writing from Monte Carlo, Ser
vice quibbed, “I feel about ‘Dan
McGrew’ much as my friend Kip
ling felt about Gunga Din, when
he said it was a pity the man
who shot Gunga Din did not also
shoot its author.”
Believed to be many years
dead by a large part of his read
ing public which has taken “The
Ice Worm" and "The Cremation
! of Sam McGee" to its heart, the
i one-time Dawson bank clerk is
living a quiet life at his Monte
Carlo home, far from the “Arctic
trails with their secret tales,that
would make your blood run
cold.”
Accomplished Composer

Telephone Black 110 _
an accomplished swimmer, motor !
cyclist, accordianist and compos
er. He declared he had “little
use” for the fame which became j
his when he first gave voice to
the frozen north with his stirr
ing verses of gold-rush days.
That thumping epic of early
Alaska-Yukon days, “The Shoot
ing of Dan McGrew,” Service be
lieves, would be better recited
under the influence of alcohol
than otherwise. He wrote it in
three evenings to recite at a smok
ing concert, but the recitation
was never given.
Found After Search
.. Service was discovered in his
secluded retirement only after an
exhaustive search by George W.
Lynn, managing editor of the San
ta Barbara News-Press, who was
out to prove that not he, but the
public, was wrong about the
poet's death.
In a weekly column, Lynn re
ferred to Service as the “greatest
living poet”. Promptly came a
flood of “letters to the editor,”
chiding him for “forgetting” that
the poet was long since dead.
Letter From Europe
Lynn was a bit startled by this
mass of rebuttal, half-convinced
that his memory might have slip
ped. Nevertheless he started
writing letters to Service, in care
of every major publishing com
pany in America and Canada.
All the letters were returned un
opened. The editor eventually
found his first tangible clue that
the poet still was alive when it
suggested he direct his letters to
Europe. Before long a letter
came back from Monte Carlo.
The letter read in full:
“Dear Mr. Lynn: Many thanks
for your kind letter and the cut
tings which gave me great pleas
ure.

Possible Wall In
Europe May Be
Result Accord
(By The Associated Pressi
VIENNA, July 21, — Diplo
matic sources Monday saw in the
new Austro-German accord a pos
sible foundation stone for an It
alo-German wall through the
center of Europe. This wall they
suggested would be intended to
keep Soviet Russian influence
out of the Danubian Valley, and
might break up solidarity of the
Little Entente.
Gunga Din did not also shoot its
author.
Three Evenings
"1 wrote it in three evenings to
recite at a smoking concert, for
in my youth I used to be that
form of a social nuisance—a re
citer. However, I never did it.
nor heard it done; but I believe
otheri have. Though the ir.e
bi i. ty angle is a new one to me—
and that it is better recited under
tlie stimulus of alcohol, I have
no manner of doubt.
‘ I am sure you will understand
me, however, when I say that I
have father grown out of this sort
of thing. I am now in my G3rd
year, and for the past 25 years
lived in France. About 10 years
ago, having no need of money,
and little use for fame, I decided
to cultivate my capacity for idle
ness. I have been very success
ful and happy doing nothing and
have never regretted my deci
sion. Work, I think, is a waste
3f time.
“I live largely in the open air,
swim, tramp, ride a motor bike,
slay the aocordian, compose and
sing my own songs and generally
imuse myself. I think that’s all.
“With kind regards, cordially
'■ours,
“ROBERT W. SERVICE.”
