tmtify when the hearing was resumed in the afternoon. He mid of sighting the ‘Tessie and Aubrey on August 3, 1933, when the mctorveseel Muir arrived and tran- ferred 400 kegs to the Tessie.

Again on Aug. 6, the Acadian stood by the Tessie off the 00nd and watched the Muir put provis- ions aboard later, he said. the Nashwaak arrived and loaded 400 kegs from the Tessie. The Aoadian fohcwed the Nashwaak as far as Egg Island, Halifax county.

In May, 1935, Captain Kelly was on the Acadian off Cross Island when the Llucky Peggy was seized.

W. G. Emest, M. P. one of the defence ‘l, declared the Ducky Peggy had not been con- nected by any of the evidence with the nun traffic and the fit- nem continued subject to objec- tim.

" I received instruction to go to a point off Cross Island. I pro- ceeded to this position and en- countered the Muir. I approached the Muir. The Lucky Peggy was at her starboard side."

The captain then told of hail- ing the Muir to halt in the King's name. When she failed to respond to his order he said the Acadian opened fire on her but only one shot was fired before the machine gun struck.

While this was taking place the Acadians searchligihg was played oontinualfy upon the Muir and the Lucky Peggy The Lucky Peggy started to escape by running around the sicrn of the Acadian. The Acadian swung around in pursuit and opened fire. Later it was found that one of the men on the Lucky Peggy, William Tanner, had been shot.

The witness said 142 kegs and 22 oases of liquor were found on the Lucky Peggy.

Questioned by Mr. Ernst, the Capt-a/in said he had fired ll shots which were fired from the Acadien at the time of the tragedy. He had shot at the kegs to scare the rum-runners, into stopping.

"I coundnt see anyone," ciared.

‘lire witness said he believed Tan- ner had been killed by a bullet that rlcocheted. Tanner has been found dead in the Wheel-House.

Ask-ed about the speed of the cutter and the Lucky Peggy, Captain‘ Kelly said the Acadian usually did about 10 knots He did no; know the rum-runners speed but she was getting away from the Acadian at the time the shots were fired-

Do ;:u know what speed buoy can do?

A-No. I have no idea. 1f I had been able to overtake her I would never have used by gun,

Canada is the sole producer of radium in the British Irmpire. The finding of iarge deposits of pitch- blende or uraniniie at Great Bear lake. N. W. '12, which ore is one of the principal sources of radium, is a. dlscovcny of major importance in the mineral history of Canada, this not alone because of its economic value. but because radium plays a. vital pact in the modern treatment of cancer. The Great Bear Lake de- posit was first discovered by Gilbert LaBine and Charles 8t. Paul, who ﬂew there on s. prospecting expedi- tion in 1930.

Pitchblende has been known to the world since 1721. and was ﬁrst discovered in Bohemia. It was called pltchblende because of its appearance-a brownish to velvet black colour and of pitchy lustre. The radio-active pTopertles of pltchblendc are of special interest. It was not until 1789, following Kiagrrotlfs analysis, that the dis- covery was made that it contains the element uranium. The fact that pitchblende is more strongly radio- nctive than metallic uranium led

ments radium, polbnium and aciinium. When pitohblende is ignited or dissolved in dﬂilfbd lul- phuric acid, a gas is evolved which consists largely of helimn and argon. ‘lbrrestiai helium was first recognised in this mineral.

inaccessible mineral resource of Canada. Hitherto the world's avail- bl f this prec ous oom- h0g0 mm bgen strictly limited; it is imated at not more grams. Ten tons of_ pitchblende, ($200,000 grams) have to be refined in order in produce one gram radium! Little wonder that its c060 is prohibitive for general use. Dur- ing the past year radiiun has sold st $60.00] a gram; at 0m time 1‘ w“ g3 high 0,5 $70,000. Because 0f “,5 now reoognlzéd value in the treatment of cancer. its excessive cost of production is the more to be deplored. The discovﬂy "15 4°“ velopment of this potent element in Canada should hasten the time when radiums benefits will be available to all in need tum!- Tiu-ough the medium of the King George Silver Jubilee Dancer Fund. it is hoped that sufficient mono)‘ will be collected to relieve from financial handicap those in Osnadﬂ who are engaged in humanitsrilll work in combating this dseale among the people oi the Dominion.
