me about to' explore the ramparts 'of

days was a bulwark against those
Co

the non-existent. Signs however
it marked where the various build -
g ings , had II been located. ' A large.
of building has been built. in the

Otir first bus had difficulty in
keeping the gear shift in ' place.
One thing everyone was radiant-
ly happy so merrily we journey-
ed, At Digbywe , were obliged
to change over to a smaller bus
of a ,more_ ancient vintage. The
explanation given was that a ship
going through under the swing
bridge at Bear River had dam-
aged, it so that all traffic has
suspended. This mishap made it•
possible to see another section
which is off the main road. The
inconvenience was amply re -

after nursing coaxing and what

knew how to treat the malady,
