Remains. Of Crew Of La Salle's Oriffon
Produced By Father Of Goderich Man
With the summer tourist season
under way, many tourists will be
visiting Tobermory to see the
crumbling remains of the six crew
members of Sieur de La Salle's
ill-fated dream ship, "The Griffon."
Tobermory fisherman, Orrie Vail,
found them some 44 years ago and
had them "decently buried" until
recently when he produced °them
as proof to discount the statement
Of a Cleveland man that "The
Griffon"- was never wrecked near,
Tobermory. Orrin Vail is the
farther of Dave Vail, 226 Elgin
avenue West, Goderich.
Mr. Vail recently took a Toronto
Telegram repos -ter to the spot
rp,
where he recovered "The Griffon."
Nearby was a waterside- cave—a
shelter formed by an overhanging
rock, leaves and branches. Inside
were the skeletons, exactly where
he first found them.
One of the skulls had a diamond-
shapel indentation in it—possibly
the result of a glancing blow by a
tomahawk.
The crew had been slaughtered
stripped of all clothing -t -•Indians
highly prized brass buttons and
cloth in those ' days --and tucked
inside the cave. •
Experts say the •bodies were hid-
den exactly the way Indians would
have hidden them.
Altogether, parts of six skeletons
Toronto Telegram pictures..
,have been uncovered. - 'One set
was smaller than average, indicat-
ing a young man, a child—or the
Griffon's cabin boy.
The skeletons were definitely
those of white men, police found.
Each set of teeth found has sham
edges. Indians' teeth had ground
edges.
Historians say if La Salle had
not lost the Griffon—or Griffin or
Gryphon, whatever spelling you
prefer—La Salle would have made
Canada and the United- , States
French colonies.
The fate of North America, still
in its infancy, rested with these six
men—the same six, Mrs .Vasil be-
lieves, that are now resting on a
wooden table in his combination
workshop -and museum., resting
within ,six feet of timbers of the
Griffon.
