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.

JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE CONTINUES WITH GENEROUS REDUCTIONS ON SEASONABLE MERCHANDISE PRIEST RESEARCHED WRECK Father Pacifique, a scholar, who preached each Sunday in three languages, French, Eng- lish and Mic Mac, did a great deal of research on the tragedy of the Marquis de Malauze, but as far as Father Placide could remember, he never did authenticate how the three deck ship had been burned and sunk.

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.
