Si-Iil-BURNE, N. S.’ Aug. t4- (CPJ ~ The swordfishlng vessel Mathilda C out of ‘Lunenburg, N. S.. burned to the water line and then exploded 40 miles off this south shore part today and her crew oi nine took the boats. They were landed here tonight by an- other liShiflg vessel.

Capt. A. Grouse of the 4d-ton craft. clad in rough work pants and a shirt. said the fire had broken out when the Mathilda C was making her way through a calm sea on Brown's Bank.

Most of the crew was on deck looking for broad-billed swordfish when the engineer came racing up the hatchway shouting that the ship was on fire.

"Smoke billowed up the hatch behind him and below deck all was aflame." the skipper said. “Quickly we shipped two dorieis and went over the side. By this time she was burning briskly. The reflection from the fire brought others of the fishing fleet to our rescue."

The Lister. out of Lockcport. N. 8., picked up one dory while the Norway. dragger out of Yarmouth, NS. picked up the other.

"Maybe two hours later her fuel supply exploded. ripping her tim- hers apart and sending things aloft." said the skipper.

Later the crew of the Dot and Nellie boarded hers and sank the burning hull to remove the navi- gation mena .

The Lunen urg Captain said he believed a "short on the battery in the engine room could have caused a spark that started the fire that litter blew up her fuel tanks."

All members of the crew later were transferred to the fisherman Robertson If which brought them into Shelburne.

No one was injured and the crew members left immediately for- their homes in Lunenburg.

Alberta Oonsltiorlng immigration Plan

EDMONTON. Aug. i4—Premier Manning of Alberto. said today his Govemrrent is giving "serious consideration" to the establish- ment of a similar plan to that of Ontario-the bringing in of thous- ands of British immigrants to the Province. '

It was indicated the Province might dove-tail its proposed im- migration actlvities into those al- ready underway in Ontario. M}. Manning said immediate inquiring would be made respecting air transportation faculties and fid- cral approval of the plan.

Ho said the following textual findings were reported subsequent- ly to the Admimity;

Although from purely a mili- tary point of view the results achieved were disappointing and the heavy casualties sustained were regrettable, it is considered that the operation was well worth while provided its lessons are carefully smiled when the time ‘comes to re-entsr France on a large scale.

l. The principal lesson appears to be, firstly. that much stronger military forces are required to break through the German coastal defences in any important area; secondly. a very much higher pro- portion of the military force should be held in reserve until the pro- gress made in initial results il i known and this reserve should be employed than in eomtoitifll l"-

Death Yesterday Of Mr. A. Peariion

. .

The news of the sudden death yesterday morning in the Prince Edward Island Hospital of Mr. Alfred Pearden canio as a distinct shock to many citizens of Char- lottetown who had been intim- ately acquainted with the deceas- ed. He was 4.3 years old.

Only last Saturday his father, Mr. William Pearden of Stanley Shaw and Feardcn, had passed away at his residence on the Mount Edward Road and it is thought that the strain incident to his father's death had possibly aggrav- ated a. heart ailment to which the son had been subject.

The late Alfred Pearden had been associated with his father in "the whoiesaikand retail hardware business for many years.

Besides his widow, he is surviv- ed by one sister, Muriel. and a brother. Vernon. both residing in Charlottetown.

Speculation Rife Over . Vacant Fisheries Post

._____

Untimely death of Fisheries Min- ister Frank Bridges at the very moment when his department was at the brink of far-reaching ex- pension poses a serious problem not only in the choice of a suc- cessor as executive head of the department but in Cabinet repre-

agreed in Ottawa this week.

At a meeting of Cabinet council held today, lt is understood that iiiiinl of the fisheries portfolio was discussed but that in the absence c! a number of Ministersfno de. finite decision was! taken. It. is certain that the Fisheries vacancy will again be the cause of a last- ditch battle uctween Maritime and Pacific Coast. Liberals, with the latter producmg bales of statistics to prove that by volume and in dollar value their fishing industry is more important than those on the’ Atlantic Coast and hence the prize of the portfolio should be theirs.

Maritime Aims

This argument will be strongly countered by members from the Marititnes who call the attention of Prime Minister King and his colleagues to the greater needs of the East Coast fisheries industries, the grcawr political support given the government by Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Ed- ward Island and the fact that at the present moment, two of the Maritime Provinces are deprived of Cabinet representation.

It is possible that Mr. King may follow the course he did in 1945 and designate s man not. at pres- ent a member of the Commons to the Fisheries portfolio. On the other hand. members feel strongly on the matter of seniority and point out that when the Prime Minister chose Hon. D. L. Mac- I-aren as Minister of National Re- venue prior to the election, Mr. Macbaren want down to defeat at the hands of Progressive Conser-
