He wvae unhurt exeepe for the r tfects of the blast. On 1 .d(1. . -- day night he tested; but won. on watelr again on Thursday nigh- when another heavy raid occurred. Most, 111 the property he guarded was destroyed, and was burning fiercely when I arrived to see if he was all right. 1 Mould not Hud him, so I worked with the firemen on' the buildings for a couple of hours be- fore we were able to effect an ent- rance into the basement; but still no trace of Bill, or a boy of 16, whom he had taken with him for the first time on the watching. Then a party of survivors from another basement came along, and on learning that Bill. was missing, told me that he and the boy were in their basement, at the moment it received e direct hit. The whole building collapsed, and crashing right through into the base - Deena killed most of those in it. It was burning fiercely when I got there, and some time elapsed before rescue work could be carried on. There was not hope from the first. The people who escaped had been in the rear of the shelter, and had crawled out trough an escape tun- nel, and even then had to lie all night in the garden, by a wall, with boobs raining down around them. Including a woman with three babies, She had lost her husband, who had crawled back on hearing a cry for help, and did not emerge again. The voice sounded like Bill's, they said. Bill was already wounded before seeking a shelter, I was told, but was going around the basement, which was divided up into compartments, giving water to women and children, as the bomb broke through. We broke through into a small compartment on Sunday afternoon, and a young warden, about 18 years old, a fresh, open faced lad, crawled down through a small hole; he came out again, and said, "Eight in there, all dead." They were jammed in tight by the blast, and this lad went back repeatedly into the chamber, taking a rope with him, fastening It around a body, and guiding it up through the hole, as we stood and pulled at the top. We had got out two women, when suddenly he came out almost on the point of collapse. After a moment he said, "A woman has just opened iter eyes, looked at are and said, 'Have you come to get me out'." She had sat there for almost three days and nights, with the dead on top of her, unable to move. A doctor and an ambulance were quickly on the spot, and after two more bodies were gotten out, we were able to drag out the woman, who was practically unhurt. How she had survived was a miracle; for looking at those bodies that came out, clinging to the hope that if I saw Bill, I might see a spark of, life. 1 looked on death in some terrible forms. But Bill's body was not re- covered for some days, About forty were got out, I be- lieve. He was buried at a mass com- munal funeral, with over a thousand others, In an inspiring address from the Archbishop of our wrecked cath- edral, the words I picked out were, "There is only one way out of the ruin by which we are surrounded, and that lies through it." As the 'last post' was sounded at the graveside, it brought a feeling of consolation to me, and I think to the others there; helping us to realise that they had surely died for a cause, and doing their duty as truly as any soldier. Staying on in a town where raids were frequent, keeping factor. les, businesses and home life going, Bill could have left Coventry for a safer area, but was determined to see it through. He was a fearless type of chap, with a strong feeling of loyalty to his home town and his country. The boy was killed too. His mother had the three sons. Two al- ready fighting in the East, and this boy who wished to be doing some- thing, of national importance. Thank you for concern for the children. Jeff has gone into the Navy and is at sea on a destroyer, andi Eddie is here at Blackpool. Well, good-bye for now, and fond- est regards to you all from, Ed and Al.

Martin, daughter of the late James, 'Martin, fourth concession of Tuckersntith, and he had resided in Bt•ncetleld ever antes, :lir. Mine doch was a veteran of the district show rings and his Clydesdales have brought many honors to himself and Huron county. His first horse, in 1887, was "Davi,' Lad," a Clydesdale imported from Scotland by Robert McGowan. It was a dark dappled brown, with four black legs and a white patch on the face, and was describer) as the "most fashionable bred colt ever imported into the County of Hunan." It was the fore• runner of a line of horses which built up a reputation of quality for the Murdoch name. In November last year, Robert Murdoch was guest of honor, in com- pany with Mr. Ephriam Snell, at a banquet tendered by the Clinton Ag- ricultural Society in recognition of what he had done for the further- ance of agriculture in this county during his long and useful life. Mr. Murdoch enjoyed good health most of his life. Of a genial disposi- tion, he had an extraordinarily wide circle of friends who were saddened by news of his death. He was predeceased by his wife fifteen years ago this month. Surv- iving are two daughters and one son, Mrs. William McKenzie, of Hen- sall; Mrs. John Cairns, with whom he lived in Brucefleld; Andrew Mur- doch, Detroit; also nine grandchild- ren and seven great grandchildren. One daughter Elizabeth, died at the age of two years. Robert Murdoch was the second youngest in his fam- ily and was the last of that family; a brother and two sisters in the west having predeceased him. At Christmas time a family gath- ering was held at the home of his granddaughter. Mrs. Howard Currie, in Clinton, when all of Itis descend- ants were present except one grand- daughter, Mrs, Joseph Finnegan, of Detroit, who was at Pittsburgh at the time. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, June 24th, at 2 p.m. from the home and was very largely at- tended. The service was conducted by Rev. William Weir of Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hensall, of which he was a member. The pall- bearers were Alex Broadfoot, Harry Dalrymple, John Wright, Robt. Doig, Alex Sinclair, John MacFarlane. The flower -bearers were Wellington Ei- liott, John H. McEwen, Wm. Pat- rick, Basil O'Rourke, Ross Scott and Fred Burdge.
