SEAFORTH, ONTARIO,

THE SAILING OF THE
FIRST CONTINGENT
-_
ft was a grey December Sunday.
when the fleet of passenger vessels
with the Canadian Active Service
Force First Division on board and its
accompanying guardian flotilla of
warships net of to sea. At times the
SIM broke through the clouds, some
times a squally gust ruffled the wat-
ers but the general conditions were
favorable and the metl:reingical ex-
perts predicted that the ships would
just nicely avoid a storm area which
had been a recent centre of disturb-
ance, This departure was quite diff-
erent from the sailing of the First
Contingent 111 1914, The latter had
gone out of Valcartier with great ado,
embarked on shipboard and slipped
clown the St. Lawrence to assemble
at Gaspe awaiting the word to go.
When the time came for the actual
departure, down the Gulf of St. Law-
rence to the sea, that great fleet
moved out quietly and with but few
observers. This 1939 setting out was
under quite different conditions. In-
stead of the lonely bay the ships were
gatherers at a port and at a populous
place.
It would he difficult. indeed im-
possible, to estimate the number of
People who saw the ships go out, but
it can 11e said that it was very large.
The secret of the departure time had
been well kept but by the middle of
the Sabbath morning it was evident
to onlookers that action was impend-
ing, increasing volumes of smoke
from funnels being regarded as a
certain sign. Then too, there were
early risers who had noted at day-
break several naval units moving into
the fairway and going out to sea.
The observers were rewarded et
noon when other naval craft proceed-
ed down the channel and trade for
the open. and soon afterwards rho
first unit of the great passenger flee'
followed. In the turn the others join.1
the parade until all had comple:1(13

lands and proceeded to clear the land.
