Assures RCMP Thousand Islands Won'l Run Away

tromhthlehhead of Lake Ontario to Broc "may eventually be- come better known as the land of the floating islands."

The "phenomenon," the story goes on. started early last spring. The odd hunk of land wu noticed drifting downstream but failed to attract much attention.

"However." the article says. "when it became necessary for the government boat. Grenville. to actually ram one of'these acre- ages in order to scatter it in dit- ferent directions. questions were raised as to whether the Thousand islands were becoming dislodged from their moorings."

The writer says the payoff came on a Sunday afternoon last sum- mer. Persons along the rive" -lnk "rubbed their eyes and "ed again. Making its way dov the mid-channel was one of the 'lrg- est islands yet-this time with people on it." .

EASILY EXPLAINED

The RCMP. the transport official said. should stick to ”floating

criminals.” This whole business could easily be explained-

"These islands the RCMP talks about are nothing more than nost- ing clumps of vegetation," he said.

Over the years weeds. reeds, twigs and tree branches collect in small bays on the islands. They gradually are squeezed into a mass by the action of the water and the wind and lodge against the shore.

Mud. leaves and more vegeta- tion collect until parts of the mass are above water. Seeds are blown onto the mass by the wind and plants start to grow.

part of the vegetation above water is light enough to make the mass float." the official said. ”The vegetation also becomes lighter when it dries at low water stages."

Once the mass of vegetation is light enough to float. the official said. a strong wind will dislodge it from the shore. It then floats downstream until it is broken up by the action of the water.

"i reckon we have one of the biggest sheep stations in Australia right here in Sydney." said Dennis. jokingly

The Dennises' business has now reached the point where they em- ploy two permanent shearcrs who travel from suburb to suburb in trucks shearing sheep seven days a week.
