Moffatt to his mother, Ms, R. J. Tindall. Mr. Moffatt's many Wingham friends will be pleas' ed to hear that ho landed safely, S, $, Caledonia, Sept. 5th. Dear Mother and Dad: Mie are now within. 50 miles of En- gland and have had a lovely trip, practically no rough weather at all. We met our escorts this morning, two torpedo boat destroyers and a large cruiser. They will see us safely the rest of the journey. Until now we have been dodging all other boats in the day time and running through after dark without lights of any kind. It certainly bas been an exciting trip but I guess these little torpedo boats will look after us now alright. They just remind me of little terriers, like old "Mar" was for instance. They run all around our big ship, run away out to one side, whirl about and are back again in'no time. When going at full speed you can hardly see them for foam and when they hit an extra large wave they out clean through it. You should see our boat. It's a great big one that was used as a cattle brat, but since the war broke out, it has 'been fitted out for carrying troops. We eat and sleep in the same ,place, but everthing is kept the very clean. est. We sleep in hammocks which are slung on hooks above the tables and fit in like sardines in a box. However, they are the most comfortable thing I've slept in since I j Ailed the army. When the weather is decent I swing mine on deck. and it certainly is great ell eping, the hammock swinge with the rolls of the ship and no matter how rough it is you hardly feel it, The food on board has been very good considering the number they have bad to feed, twelve hundred, and the inconvenience in cooking. This will make eleven days at sea but we expeot to land to -night, Will write more when I get settled. Bye bye Geo. Moffatt No. 0 Platoon 0, Co. Poyal Can, Reg. England. P.

Secretary D. Lougheed was respon- sible for the sick benefits, he having made application for them. A case of some interest was heard in Clinton last week when Messrs. A. B. Ingram, vice-chairman of the Ontario Railway Board, and Francis Dagger, telephone expert, heard evidence in °the dispute between the managers of the Blyth telephone system stem and the ➢ p y Mc$illop system, Messrs, L. Hill president; Alex Elder, secretary, and John Brighton director, represented thieBlyth system, while Messrs James Snell, president; J. M. Govenlock secretary, and George Hearn and A McGregor were here in the interests of the McKillop company. The McKillop people wished the priviledge of run ning at line into Londesboro station, and in order to do so would be obliged to use the Blyth company's poles as the law forbids the duplication of a line. This the Blyth people refused to allow, and the McKillop company ap pealed to the railway commission for an adjustment of the trouble, After bearing the evidence on both sides Vioe.Chairman Ingram announced that the deelaion would be reserved. The final announcement will be await- ed with interest. - bon ,.e..r`...,,�,.,,, ...
