Wreck oi” ,. The liirkcnimd

an unwritten law afloat.

'rhe' centenary is that of the wreck of the troopship uirkenhead cf! the coast or South Africa on February 20. 1852. with the loss of 44:5 of the ass lives aboard.

The death roll would have been greater but for the discipline and self-sacrifice of the troops which made the phrase "The Wreck of the nrkenhead" ring through the country, not merely then. but for generations to come.

The ship's crew (with some Royal Marines) totalled 130. In addition. there were severel surgeons on

ten.

Puiing into Simon's Bay. the Birkcnhead dlsembarked most of the women and children and a few men who were ill.,and took on board other military details and some passengers bound for Algoa Bay. She sailed for Port Elizabeth on the evening of Febru- lry 25.

A few hours later. shortly before two o'clock in the morning. the sailor who was taking soundings found no more than 12 or 1.1 fat- homs, and reported to the oifiper oi the watch.

Before anything could be done. the Blrkenhead had struck an un- charted and hidden reef-it was off Danger Point. only 50 miles from Simon's Bay-and the sea rushed in through the hole made just aft of the foremast. drowning practically all the men who were asleep in the lower troop-deck.

C O O

In the emergency measures which he immediately took. Capt. Salmond. the ship's command . received every assistance from the senior military officer on board. Lt. Col Seton. of the 74th High- landers (which later became the 2nd Battalion, Highland Light In- fantry). Ordering Capt. Wright of the 01st. the Argyll Highlanders (until in 1881. they were united with the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders as the A and SI-Ii to carry out any orders given by Capt. Salmond, Col. Seton stood by a iiiingway with drawn sword-but he never had occasion to employ it.

The troops fell in on the poop deck as steadily and in as orderly a. fashion as if they had been on the barrack square. Through many oi them were raw. only part- ially trained recruits, their discip- line was perfect. .

When parties of 50 were told off to man the pumns and assist in other measures while the boats were lowered and the women and children were got away -from the doomed ship. they marched to and from their tasks as if they were doing normal istigues.

some of the women had to be torn by force from their husbands' sides and carried to the boats. Not one woman or child was lost.

The Lancers even tried to save their horses by pushing them over- board. but only a few animals managed to swim ashore. the others being killed by sharks. Barely 20 minutes after she struck the rock. the Birkenhead broke in two. just after the fun- nel had crashed down on on; of the boats and the men struggling to release it. . As the vessel broke , Capt. Salmond shouted an order to all who could swim.to jump in- to the sea and make for the boats. Most of the men. whether swim- mers or not, must have known how slender was” their chance of sur- vival. Sharks were swimming a- round. but it was the unseen peril of a field of dangerous seaweed between the wreck and the shore

Railway Issues only Push In Stock Market Last Week

NEW YORK, Railroad issues provided the only push in a timid stock market last week.

The momentum of the carridrs boosted the price average of lead- ing issues to a level equalling its high for more than 21 years.

Trading was suspended Friday for Memorial Day and Saturday the stock exchange began its summer Saturday closings.

Most sections of the stock list floundered a bit.

Only on Monday could the mar- ket produce anything approaching a general advance. Declines out- numbered advances on each of the other trading days.

The 60-stock average closed Thursday up 20 cents on the week, at 8103.30. But the compon- ent oi 15 rolls Jumped sun at 3180.50. .

During the month of May. the rail average advanced 34 against a rise of 33.10 in the do-stock aver-

CLEVELAND. June 1 -(AP) - (AP)-Mounting uncertainty and indecision are affecting the steel markets. the magazi Steel re- ports today.

"This is being translated into increasing buying liesitancy. even order cancellations. and accom- panying sluggishness in various areas of production and consump- tion," it says in its weekly review.

However. there are heavy order bscklogs in such major steel pro- ducts iss carbon bars, sheared plate. shapes. pipe and tubing. The magazine says makers of these items expect an active third quarter.

The national steelmaklng rate continues at a high pace. the weekly figure rising 15 points to 100.5 per cent of rated capacity.

that proved the undoing of many who tried to gain the beach. 0 O O

Capt. Saimcnd and Col. Seton were among the 445 who perished. Ensign Lucas, of the 71st Highland Light Infantry, was near the col- oncl when the ship-broke-up. and he shook hands with him and hop- ed they would meet ashore. to which Col. Seton replied calmly that he thought it unlikely. seeing that he couldn't swim a stroke.

Fifty men who were perched on the ships foremast, which remain- ed above water. were rescued by a schooner. the Lioness. Others got ashore by clinging to floating wr kage. among them Capt. wright. who afterwards scoured the coast in s whaieboat for sev- eral days, picking up a few more survivors.

The court of inquiry held that Capt. Salmond had kept a course too close to the shore. but tem- pered its censure with high praise. which the whole nation echoed. of the heroism and self-sacrifice of everyone concerned during the harrowing half-hour of disaster and death.

Cl-IARLOTTETOWN Toronto . 1 .

'f'ORON'IO. June l-(CP)--Tits long-eetablishsd bond firm of W. L. Mcxinnon and Company has filed a petition of bankruptcy. A meeting of creditors-many of them elderly persons in the Perth area of Eastern Ontario-will be held here June ll. , .

Pounded here 41 years ago by Walter Ilcxinnoh, the firm said in

owes Toronto banks and trust firms 0401.323 and an additional 8341.450 to unsecured creditors. in- vestore who possess no collateraL Against that were listed assets. mostly in securities. of 510,810. The firm had offices here and in Perth. Mr. Mcxinhon. '10, is in

an automobile accident.

Started with a capital of 8800. the company specialised in bonds and debentures of municipalities- many of them in Western Canada --which could be bought at aub- stsntiai discoun . It was reported that over the years Mr. Mcxinnon handled sa5o.ooo.ooo in bonds.

The bankruptcy petition stated that the firm had been insolvent

gold standard and adversely af- fected the bond business. Themove cost the comp y 3320.000. it said.

The Bank of Canada's withdraw- al in 1951 of its , t of federal bonds meant a loss of 8325.000. thd petition added.

Ontario Securities Conunisslomsaid Saturday that, while the firm's dealings were above board from a legal standpoint, the pony was never registered because it did not deal in investments the Securities Act.

Although insolvent for more than 20 years. the firm continued in business. And investors continued to buy bondsi Despite the com- pany's condition, it showed an op- erating profit each year.

Owners of the bonds were a vari- ed lot. There were churchmen. a mimlonary in India. an army col- onel at Camp Borden, Ont., and old friends in his hometown of Path.

The largest individual creditor is Rev. EM. Cauliieid. Roman Cath- olic print in the Toronto suburb of Leaside. Father Caulfield said his 'losses" totalling s2l,717 were "just paper money."

The priest said he had been left 84000 in bonds several years ago. At that time Mr. Moxinnon was handling them and Father Caul- fleld let him continue.

since then, the priest said. the firm had invested them ”very ully so they are now worth more than 820.000 1;. paper."

"But that is only paper money and I'm certainly not worried about it."
