' If Happened 43 Years Ago • By BRUCE BOSSENBERRY The ninth of November will al­ ways stand out in my mind as it was my mother’s birthday, the birthday of King Edward, and it was on that day that the Great Lakes swallowed more boats and sailors than was ever known be- fore or since, It has sometimes been referred to by newspapers as Black Friday, but the storm in ,1913 was actually on Sunday. It was not a stormy day, but some rain and large soft snow­ flakes, fell. In the evening it got much colder, and the wind grew stronger from the north and northwest. I left the Imperial Hotel about 9.00 p.m. to go to the stables, which were on the lot at that time, to feed a horse and cow. When I went back to the hotel I stepped out to the street and up the sidewalk. It was then blow­ ing very hard, and I said to some guests who were Staying at the hotel that any boat on the lake would have a rough time. Monday morning was brighter, but the wind still high, although it had/dropped'some. All we knew about a storm at the time was that the high seas had stripped the whole top off the nbrth pier at breakwater. This was built of ’ 12 x 12 timbers spiked together with orie-inch spikes about two feet long, and topped with three-inch planks spiked down with nine-inch spikes .and a 6 x 6 inch .piece spiked down over the ends of the plank top, which was almost completely torn off, and all of which lay in a. scattered pile on the flats on the south side of the river, where the fish shanties jnd boats now are. No Hint Of Wreckage o Monday evening nothing was known of any ship being wrecked or lost. Tuesday morning was a very nice morning and brighter. About nine a.m.< Peter Ravelle, who lived' this side of Maple GroVe, came to the village via the beach and up to the Imperial, and said to me. “Let us go down the beach, as there was quite a storm -and may-be some wreck­ age on the shore.” I hitched up the horse and we crossed the bridge and went-down through what is now SOuthcott Pines, as far as a fish shanty, owned by Mrs. Harry Gill and John Welch. There we went to the beach, and it was strewn with bales of hay and some coal oil barrels, also lumps of flour in -all' sizes that had been spilled from flour barrels. We had tra­ veled a short distance wlfen I could see a large steamer very 'close in to shore near Port Franks. At this time it was snow­ ing small frozen snow for a few minutes, then clearing up again. When I pointed out the boat to reter, he said “Perhaps we would find half* a dozen dead men,” and I said, "It would not surprise me either.” In just a few moments I spied the first man lying near the water's edge, wearing a lifebelt, but not too Warmly dressed. Presently we found some more, and these were also very lightly dressed. In fact, one man had apparently been a cook and had on only light troh- Sers and Underwear, and an ap­ ron. Finds Wheelman Of New Boat Then I saw -another in the Water. I went out over my boot tops (rubber boots) and pulled him in. This Was the wheelman on the “Price.” He must have been on duty. He had on one rub­ ber boot and overcoat and- ah oiler over that—one boot off and cap floating near. The “Price” was a new .steel boat in its first year on the lakes. The rest Of the men.were off the “Regina.” In all we had picked up nine or eleven men and took them by the shoulders and hauled them some’ distance back from the water’s edge, so that ’they would not be washed away if the wind and sea came up again. Here we met the ’undertaker and the coroner .from Thedford, also the hotelman ahd a farmer from,,near Port Frank. They kriew nothing about - ahy Ships being wrecked, but knew that the “Northern Queen” was on the sand bar close to shore near the mouth of the river at,Port Frank.; The coroner looked the bodies oyer for identification and val­ uables, and as some of the pock­ ets were left turned inside out, some persons who came to the beach later started a 4‘eport that the bodies had been robbed of all valuables. The Toronto Globe and Mail heard this yarn, and called nie about H, but I straigh­ tened that Out. The coroner ordered us to re- iturn to Grand Bend and send men with' horse* and wagons to pick up the bodies and take them to the Bend where the undertaker would pick them up the next day. AS it was almost dark when we got to the village, it was too late to get anyone to make the trip, and they were left until Wednes­ day morning. Relatives Searched For Bodiot When we got home, tired and hungry, we heard of the finding of about as many bodies just about where what how is called* “Norman Heights.” These were off the “Wexford,” which had been laden with grain. In all, about 30 boats were lost with a toll of around 300 sailors, many of whom were never identified. Relatives of some of these pa­ trolled the -beach for days in search and hope of finding their loved ones. I was at this time appointed Wreckage Master for the terri­ tory from Grand Bend to Sarnia (Lambton County), and also pa­ trolled the beach for days. One day I met a young man who had walked from Sarnia along the water's edge looking for the body of his brother. Several boys, who were from Goderich, and. had each lost a brother, staged with me at the Imperial for nearly a week, and patrolled the beach. F usually went after them with my Ford each evening, after having ascertained about where they would be at a given time, * Great Wave Swallowad Boats' At the, coroner’s inquest. at Thedford,' in my evidence I stat­ ed that, m my opinion, one great ; wave swallowed all the boats ' that were lost. My reasons were i that the man I pulled out of the : water was the wheelsman df the 1 “Price,” while the rest were all I Clandeboye By MRS. J. H.

Hillcrest Farm Forum Mr. and Mrs. Earl, Atkinson were hosts for the farm forum meeting on Monday evening with 15 in attendance. In answer to the question “Do you think that the marketing of your farm products needs im­ provement?” the members de­ cided in the affirmative and by selling co-operatively advantage would be gamed by buyer and seller. In their opinion a percentage of each shipment or sale would be a good investment in market­ ing. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Simpson.

Bassett, whom I never met. nor spoke to, gave almost the kame evidence as I had given at the inquest at Thedford, ’ ’ Also, the timbers that were torn off the breakwater were, aS I said, in one pile, taken off by one great wave, 'which pushed them up the river, where they were left when the wave receded, if these timbers had been torn off otherwise, throughout the nignt, they would have been scat­ tered all the way from Grand Bend to Kettle Point. - About 15 years later I was with several friends from Sarnia and Forest at Meaford, .and we got a man with a motor boat to take us out in the bay to fish. I asked this man where Johnston’s Post Office was in that part of the Country, and he pointed out the location. He asked me why I made the enquiry, and"! told turn that I pulled the wheelsman off the Steamer “Price” out of the water, and that his was the only body to come to shore from that bdat. I said his name was* Mc­ Guire, and his home was at or near this post office. The boat­ man told me he was a cousin of the man I had pulled out of the lake.
