tion arrived and it cane from a clear
sky also. 1t is not known just why
this great privilege was granted. It
has been said that many towns aro in-
fested with visitors from the lower reg-
ions, but it was not so with Seaforth.
On Saturday a mighty, rushing sound
was heard, Some thought it- was a
motor boat from Lake Huron, Others
thought it was the flopping- of angel
wings in the air. and looking, np saw, to
their surprise that the angel had Dome

A great number of townspeople at
once said, one to another, "Let us go
and see this thing," and crowds flocked
frcnn every side. When they arrived
they found au aeroplane and the lone
pilot, who, going from Camp Borden to
Toronto had lost his way and was mak-
ing for Lake Huron instead of Lake
Ontario. Running out of gasoline, he
was compelled to land, A fresh supply
was obtained but the engine refused to
start and the machine was staked down
for the night. Word was sent to Oamp
Borden, but during Sunday, Seaforth'(
experte got the engine going again and
several trial flights were made safe-
ly. The crowds that gathered on ,Sun-
day- equalled a Fall Fair, people walked
across fields, came on wheels, in buggies
and by cars from every direction, It
was the first opportunity many had of
seeing an aeroplane and all who could,
