It was. he said, a friendiy city and before his ship had pulled away from her moor- ings, Monday evening, May 22. 1944. he had expressed the fervent hope of seeing Charlottetown once more. Its people, so he said, had been kind to him.

A few months later. he was transferred to the "Clayouquet". Then, between Christmas and New Year's, 1944. he died in action as his ship went down off the Nova Scotia coast.
