So the latter had grown smaller and smaller, and Jprry and Mrs. Jerry had wor- nod and worried.

No event recorded in Island Ihistory equals the destructive ef- fects of the great Yankee Gale of 1851. That terrible tragedy prac- tically destroyed the entire fishing fleet of this province. together with a h of ships from Glou- cester. Mnss.: New Brunswick. Nova Scotia and Maine.

They knew nothing about anybody farther down Laugh- ing Brook. They knew nothing about the Smiling Pool and the people who lived there. Probably it would have made no difference if they had known.

As for Paddy the Beaver and

Mrs. Paddy. they would certainly have said that the water in their pond belonged to them. They would have said that they had made that pond. But for them there would have ,been no pond at all. And this was true. Still, did they really own the water? There were other folks who didn't think so.

North and South were using ace-showing responses. and so the three-club response to two dia- monds was automatic.

Towards the late after- noon, the wind had increased un- til it became a raging gale, sweeping the water into great white billows. Then the night dropped her mantle over the gal- lant little fishing fleet. a shroud so black and enfolding that not even the oldest salt afioatgcould recall anything to equal it. From the East Coast to North Cape ships of all sizes were caught in the mow of the gale and tossed about like chips in a whirlpool: all the while the wind increased and the waves grew higher.

All day Saturday the wind

The Sabbath morning of Oct. 5th saw no change in the weather. Indeed, if there was any change at all, it was a change for the worse: and watchers on shore, powerless to render any assis- tance. wept openly as they saw

Two Air Force Trainees Killed

COLD LAKE, Alta.. (CP)-Two RCAF trainees were killed Thurs- day qight when their CF-100 figh- ter crashed and exploded just af- ter take-off.

Air force officials said the two officers. the crew of an all-war ther fighter. were on a normal night training mission. . 'Dcad are pilot PO. J. R. R. G. Desliochers. 20. of Montreal and radar-navigator P0. J. M. J. Y. Roberge. 19. of Adamsville county. Brome. Que.

Both were students on the CF- l00 operational training unit here and recently had received their wings in the normal RCAF train- ing course.

Their aircraft struck the ground about two miles from the end of take-off runway and exploded. An official board of inquiry was be ing assembled here to investigate the cause of the accident.

The last paragraph tells the grim tale. No further words are necessary to give the reader a vivid picture of the Yankee Gale
