It was to the effect that Private H Andrews, formerly of the 5th Regiment Canadian Artillery, auda member of A Company,and Private W C S Hollands, of C Company, formerly 77th Wentworth Battalicn, had returned to the scene of conflict.
Both ecldiers, who have completely re- gained their health, sailed today for Cape Town and will proceed north to rejoin their regiments in the vicinity of Pretoria.
It is a matter of doubt whether the former report of the home coming of the Canadian contingent is correct.

ers. The rear coach, which was well ‘filled with paesengers, did not leave the | rails.
Two of the box cara were badly shat- tered. The engine was also damaged some~ 'what. Truck and car wheels were strewn | about on totb sides of the track and thirty | Of forty yards of track was torn up.
The accident happened co quickly that the train hands donot know much abcui it Conductor Kelly and Baggagemaster -lowali were in the baggage car at the time, the latter preparing to trim his lamps. They were both thrown in the corner of the car, Conductor Kelly being underneath. The boxes and other things in thecar were piled on or about them, and they experienced considerable diffi culty in getting clear. Conductor Kelly bad one of his fingere badly cut and gota hard knock on the head. Beyond being somewhat ehook up Mr Howatt was not injured.
Whon they got out of the car they caw Driver Pound who was badly scaided and otherwise injured walking from the engine. The fireman, Mr McElman, and brake- | man Halfpenny eecaped without injury.
The fireman says he does not remember leaving his seat,and was conscious only of going through the air and of things passiog over his head, “ben he walked sround the engine he found Driver Poaond | lving on the left bank who said :o him, “I’m ecalded to death.”

Conductor Kelly also with all possible despatch drove to Kensington for Dr. Mc- Kay. Oo examination it was found tbat Driver Pound was badly ecalded about the head, arms, lege and part of the body,that three of bis ribs were brokenand he was injured internally.

Everything possible wa- done tur the poor man, but about tovr o'clock yesterday afternoon he passed away.
The wrecking train was in charge of Conductor McKie. It lett Charlotttetown about nine o’clock on Saturday night and by 7 o’cleck last evening ibe live was cleared. The wreckage, littered about on the track, presented very great difficul- ties.
‘Lhe pa+sengers sod mails coming by} the express were brougbt to Charlottetown by the Cape Traverse train. The exprees was seat back to Tignish from the scene of the accident, aleo taking mails and passengers,
Driver Pound was about 55 years of age and was one of the oldest and best known drivers in the employ of the Island rail- way, being with it for 25 years. He was greatly es:eemed by his associate employes, and by al] others who enjoyed his ac« quaintance. Hie bereaved widow and family of eight have the sympathy of all.
The cause of the disaster is not definitely known. But a broken rail is thought to be responsible,
The work done by the wrecking crew is highly creditable to them. They began work abou: twelve o’clock Saturday night and kept steadily at it until sevea o’clock yesterday afternoon when al! the wreck-
