Rambling With Lucy
(I
Excitement ran1 high in the village on Wednesday morning,
November 29 for a few people, If ypyalty had suddenly appeared
their interest in a beautiful - guest at the river couldn’t have
been more keen, and indeed, p.erhaps she was a “lost princess/’
Mrs, James Hutchings was the first to see this large white
bird sailing up the river towards the“Hog’s Back.” She telephoned
Mrs. J, E, Howard and they watched it with glasses from the
Hutchings* home. Mrs. Howard called Lucy op the telephone and
Canon F. H. Pauli and Carl went down to the bridge with binoculars.
After observing it for some time, (it had turned and come down-
the river again) they- came back to the house and studied the bird
hooks, It looked to themlikeaSnow Goose. (Someone had wondered
if it might be a swan), * '
, tip at the Post Office, a friend told Carl that Philip DjjBoulay
was a Keen bird watcher. So Carl'took him down to the bridge. He
spotted it on some ice at the side of the river. Mrs. Robert
Blair and Mrs, *F. Wallis drove by but couldn’t see it from the
car. .
M.?, DuBoulay went down the bank to flush it out while Carl
got into his car with the motor running.
The bird began to get nervous when it saw the men watching 1
■ if. With a “Kha-ali” like the bleat pf a sheep if rose up to fly
over the bridge but seeing the car turned and flew east. Carl
went tp the old Clutton road to 'turn and when he got to the bridge ■
the goose was flying west but seeing the car turned again and
went down off to the southeast uttering its alarm call. But it
was apparently alone.
(Its voice is a rather high pitched falsetto monosyllabic “Kowk.”)
Later Mrs, Hutchings saw it flying out'.to the lake.
Mr. and Mrs. DuBoulay keep a systematic record of birds they
have identified here since moving from Montreal in September.
This was number 61 on their list.
In the afternoon they walked down to the river hoping Mrs.
DuBoulay would see the Snow Goose but it had gone. However,
they identified number 62 on their list - a Hooded Merganser.
Snow geese breed in colonies of various sizes in the Arctic
from Banks Island, Victoria Island, Prince of Wales Island
and Northern Ellesmere Island south to Northern MacKenzie
and Keewatin Districts, and North Eastern Manitoba 25 miles
from Churchill, also a few spots on the west coast of Hudson
Bay and James Bay. ' \
They gather in large concentrations in Southern James Bay
each autumn and fly southweStardly across Ontario, down the
Mississippi. valley to the Gulf coast where they winter from
Mexico and Texas, to Western Florida It is usually a non-stop
flight but sometimes they come down around Georgian Bay or
inland.
Lucy would suppose that this solitary goose had been one of
such a flock and had, perhaps, been forced down in a storm and
separated from the other geese, since it appeared to be in good
health, and was observed feeding on the river.
In past years this may have been one of their occasional stop-
ping places, known also as Waveys. Mrs. Howard has heard
local hunters say in years gone by that they were around. But
she had never seen one before. They are not relished as a table
■dish. North-western flights winter mainly in Southern British
Columbia to Calfiornia.
(The Greater Snow Goose, Atlantic, breeds on Bylot Island
and winters on the Atlantic Coast from New Jersey to South
Carolina. They stop en route at Cap Tourmente, Quebec.)
That beautiful little story “The Snow Goose” by Paul Gallico
kept haunting Lucy:
In the Great Marsh on the Essex coast at the mouth of the
river Aelder, Philip Rhayader bought an abandoned Light House
and acres of marsh and salting surrounding it. He was a hunch,
back, a painter of birds and nature. Philip was lonely, but
though his body .was warped, .he created beauty and loved the
hunted and wild things. Thus he established a bird sanctuary. -
Hundreds of geese were here frpm October to Spring.
He'had a 16-foot sail bdat which he managed skilfully despite
the fact that one liana was'iike'a claw.
One day a small blonde girl, Fritha, came to him cartying
a big white bird w^h she’d found in.the marsh. There was'bloOd A'
on‘its, whri't’6^f^^ier'sV.P.b^iousiy her/fright of «the,4iUndhbadk fraSh.T
overcome "b’y1 Se^need 'for healing for the injured bird. It
a broken wing tip and leg, $e resuit’of'a’shbtlrofri*’^f<Mle’T'’^
gun.
Gently, Philip took the ’ big white bird with the black-tipped
wings. He set the child at ease by telling her of its hotneland,
Canada, and how it must have been blown off course in a storm -
while flying from the Arctic, south for the winter. He set the '
wing and the leg and, named the bird, La Princesse Perdue or
the Lost Princess.
Each day Fritha came to see and feed the Princesse Perdue.
By mid winter she was limping about the enclosure with the
“pink-feet” geese with whom .she' associated rather than the
Barnacles.
When they left for their summer nesting grounds in Greenland
and Spitzbergen, the Princesse Perdue joined the flight. She
returned in October with the exception of one year.
In the spring of 1940 the Snow Goose rose with the other
geese but after circling about dropped down again to the san
ctuary. Philip Rhayader was pleased that she had chosen this
as her home.
The girl Fritha had grown into a comely young woman. She
saw love in Philip’s eyes which conscious of his appearance he
would never express. Just when it came to Fritha, who had seen
beauty within the misshapen exterior over the years, that she
loved him, came Dunkirk.
Philip went with his sail boat and took men off the b’eaches
to the barges until all were aboard and off across the Channel
to England, then he headed for Dunkirk again. Overhead circled
the Princesse Perdue. And when a naval reserve officer saw
a derelict sailboat which had been machine gunned and in which
was the body of a man, went to investigate a big goose setting
on it hissed at him and beat them with her wings when they tried
to board the boat. It sank when a nearby floating mine exploded.
La Princesse Perdue circled the sanctuary but did not land,
She flew off in a westerly direction, probably to Canada.
The Snow Goose became a legend. In London, in Dover, in
the Channel Ports wherever there were men gathered who saw
the m’ghty bird soar calm and unafraid through the leaden death
and blanketing smoke of Dunkirk, and owe their safety to the
dark twisted msn and the small boat that those great black
tipped wings convoyed they tell of the Snow Goose. She was an
omen for safety, regarded as an angel of mercy.
Let us hope that the lone Snow Goose which came to Bayfield
a good omen for this village.

The delegates accepted the
recommendations of the com
bined Huron-Perth camping
committee to continue operating
the two camps, Bimini and the
Goderich Summer School,
A plea was made for more ’
imaginative camping by a
member of the committee, the
Rev. J. Donald MacDonald. He
suggested that a camp for
widows and their children or for
senior citizens might be con*
sidered. for the 1968 season.
.An increased missions all
ocation was accepted by the del
egates for next year. The new
allocation of $100,209.00 to be
raised in Huron for the wider
mission of the church in Canada
and Overseas represents a 20%
increase over the 1966 returns.

were three delegates from the

Church, Union between the
E,U,B. church and the United
Church of Canada is expected
to be finalized next year. •
