What Chippy had said was true; but he had no intention of interfering in family matters. ,"The decision is in your hands, Hamish," he told -Murdoch. "He is your responsibility, and if •you say he can 'go, I will take him along.

"We hae no. right ,"Take. the lad wi' ye," Murdoch said decisi4ely. "We hae no right tae deny him a chance vithich-may no come again!" The next day, Jamieson; Chippy Chisholm and young Teddy Murdoch left for Toronto. They took a wagon to carry all their belongings, and Neil MacCrimmon went along with them so that he could return it to Redtrees. The three 'older men sat at the front but Teddy had to be content with the more bumpy ride behind the • seat He was very excited and kept asking many questions about the future voyage. "Will it be a big ship, captain?" he asked. "A great bigschooner - with three 'masts?" 's • , Jamieson was annised by the boy's enthusiasm. At seventeen, Teddy was like all youths of his age full of vim and the spirit of adventure. "At the moment lad, I have no idea," Jamieson said. "We shalt have to. take whatevekwe. pm. At thislime of year, if *ill be difficult tO. find any kind of a vessel. Most of them will be away.or taking on cargo and the plans of the shipping companies will already have been Made.", • • "And the crew, sir: Where shall we get a crew?" "That will be less difficult," Jamieson said. "There are always seamen looking for a ship, but of course we shall have to be careful who we sign on. Itds a long voyage and a ship is only as good as its crew:" "Don't ye Worryabout the men lad," Chippy interjected. "I'll give 'em a good lookin' over before they step on board a ship ChiPpk) Chisholm. I can, smell every 'rotten apple in the barrel, long before I take off the lid!" To Teddy :11.4urdoch, it seemed # iong way tolCorontO# ;and he was very glad when they arrived at the junction of Yonge and Front Streets. Until they had made all their arrangements, they were to sty in the New American Hotel. This -too -was a. grand new experience for the lad. Before he, left •for the return journey, MacCrinimon shook each of them warmly by the - hand. He had a special word for Ian Jamieson. "Rap the first tithe in many a year, I canna do anything tae help ye. But I want ye ' tae know that we shall all travel wi' ye in our heart. Ye're a brew man, Captain Jamie- son. I wish ye God speed, a safe journey and come - back hame soon tae Redtrees." 1 Ale Apprect e volunteer service of canvassers To the Editor - • — Dorothy Hamilton, Kathleen Collyer, Susan The Lucknow 13kandk, of the Caitaditint. • • ° Cancer Society hai4;pleted their cahVa-10f TIIE EprroR Lucknow and district for the 1984 cainpaign.
