Mr. Howe did not plan to take a rest but will go right alead with his mission, which he expects will keep him here three weeks.

"I came over here 1o see what else Canada could do to help 111 the war effort," the Minister told rcpoitcrs when he lecelved them at an l1otel after a tender brought the party ashore in pouring rain.

He paid tribute to Mr. Scott, former provincial secretary of Que- bec, and 31-year government ad- viser, as “one of our most promin- ent Canadians and finest business- men."

"l was hoping against hope I would not have to announce this great loss," the Minister said. "We

The camp has had a number of cases of measles among the men and several will probably remain in hos- pital with this disease when the 30-day training period ends Satur- day. The epidemic of influenza which hit the camp early is prac- tlcally all cleared up.

He described the rest of the par- ty as feeling "splendid" and add- ed: “As far as actual hardship is concerned there was nothing very upsetting for us."

Mr, Howe said the U-boat which destroyed the Western Prince took flashlight photographs of the sink- ing liner.

Steward Jimmy Franks" lost his life because of his courage. the Min- lster went on. Safe 1n a lifeboat, he remembered that money con- tributed by the crew to their Spit- fire Fund ——about $445 was still a.- board. He dashed back and had to 1x11111111 with Capt. Reed and Sec- ond Officer R. F. White. Of the three, only White was picked 11p.

When finally the rescue ship found them they waves were run- ning high, it was squaily and there was no sun.

He did not see Mr. Scott go down. But he understood that when a life- boat wlth 26 persons in it struck the side of the rescue ship and turned over the Montreal financier held on to the lifeboat as long as he could but finally had to let go.

Mr. Howe paid particular tribute to the crew of the rescue ship.

"They did a grand Job."

Survivors of the Western Prince also included W. A. Siwarpe. 19, of Prince Albert. Sask.. who has made arrangements to join the Royal Afr Force — and risked his life to dash back to his czgbin for the pap- ers to prove he has 250 hours 1n the air to his credit.
