Page 8 aa Wingham AdvarteeeTimes Thursday, Jan, 1, 1967 and that it was on the Rest!,
gauche River that Commodore
Jack Byron finally crushed the
hopes France had in America,
When J was relating this tale
of my visit to the ship and the
battle on the Restigoticlie, a
scholar of my acquaintance
ruminated about the relation-
ship of the Commodore. to
George Gordon, Lord Byron,
Certainly in my thinking, if a
bit far fetched, I admit, there
was poetry in the wreck of the
Marquis de Malauze.
as lie Opened a creaking dear
with a huge key, gave it a.
little push with his leather
sandaled bare foot and stood
aside for me to enter. The hull
of the Marquis de Malauze,
charred by fire and grayed from
179 years underwater, towered
above me.
It was a therapeutio experi-
ence for me because, as Father
Placide pointed to the wreck
he smiled and bowed toward
me and in his stately Gallic
'manner murmured 'youth and
age'. He confessed to '77 years
and I, as I stood beside him in
the lea of this ancient ship,
felt, as the song recites,
'younger than springtime',
Naturally I was not the first
tourist to set eyes on its sturdy
oak timbers, I wondered,
however, how many, as they
were guided through the huge
shed and told of its past glory,
realized the tremendous task
that faced these Capuchins to
reclaim the wreck after it was
discovered by children in their
barefeet at low tide.
Ian Selanders once wrote in
his well remembered column
"New Brunswick Parade" that
they can thank the late Father
Pacifique for its preservation.
This 'dignified and aging
friar' received a deed for the
ship. in 1936 from the then
Minister of Transport. In a
rowboat, he used to cruise over
the spot where she was buried
in the sands of the river, fish-
ing for trophies and dreaming
about the time when the ship
could be salvaged. His objec-
tive was to get it to shore and
turn it into an historicalmu-
seum.
Finally he was able to col-
lect a few hundred dollars for
the project and a dredge was
hired. Piece by piece, plank
by plank, the wreck was sur-
faced. Then the arduous task
faced the monks of putting the
ship together again. They were
fortunate, as they worked with
this monster jig saw puzzle, in
obtaining the help of a know-
ledgeable old sea captain. It
took the better part of a year
to complete the task.

Health Tips
from C.M.A.
The life expectancy of the

in certain limits, in a direct

Hazards of being overweight

The reason the litespan of
these people is shortened isthat
excess fat plays a part in the
cause of diabetes and the so-
called degenerative' disorders.
One of these is arteriosclerosis,
better known as hardening of
the arteries, which leads to
heart attach., high blood pres-
sere, strokes and kidney fail-
ure.
In addition to the minor on-

tion, difficulty in walking and
unattractiveness,
It Is true that some people
gain weight more easily than
others, but regardless of this, it
is int possitille to gain without
eating more than the body re-
quires for growth, tissue repair
and euergy utilization, There-
fore, if one reduces his intake
of food, generally he can lose
weight. Appetite depressants
are helpful in this respect, but

When this desire is lacking more

There is considerable evi-

A SHIP THAT PASSED
IN THE NIGHT
I received a picture the
other day through the mail. It
was a surprisingly good likeness
of me, for I am usually about
as photogenic as a feather bed
tied in the middle. But Father
Placide, a Capuchin Monk
standing beside me, looked just
as his name implies, placid,
serene and spiritual.
This is a nice bit of memor-
abilia to file, because it re-
minds me of the first morning
I set foot on Maritimes soil,
last summer. I had escaped
from a heat wave in central
Canada and when I alighted
from any train at Campbellton,
New Brunswick, the air had
been cooled by a soft rain that
frizzed my hair and delightfully
shivered my timbers.
I was in one of my most ex-
ploring moods and when I was
asked if I would like to visit the
beached skeleton of a ship that
was sunk in 1'760 and raised in
1939, I could hardly wait to
see this treasure of the Monas-
