It looked as though another draw would _ be the result until the Rimouski adonis found an opening and scored the winning fall after sixty-five minutes.learn that none of the bombs hit the ship.The airplane also escaped without damage.The case was labelled as one of \u201cmistaken identitty.\u201d Hull said he believed that one faction of the Spanish conflict had mistaken the destroyer for a craft of the opposition faction.The destroyer, which left New York to help evacuate Americans from Spain, was tneeding from Gib-ralter towards Bilbao\u2019 when the skirmish occurred.COL.ROSCOE TURNER

tighten the blockade on ports held tral ground None of these skirmishes brought the \u201cinternational incident\u201d eternally feared by statesmen as the starting point of a general war.Then one day a Spanish rebel gunner, living up to the Spanish navy's tradition for poor marksmanship, fired a shell from a ship in the straits and it burst near the barracks polo field at Gibraltar.Flayers and spectators were frightened, but none was hurt.Because there were no casualties and because the shell obviously was not intended for British territory, the incident was overlooked.Planes Hum Over Rock But there were other things to keep the situation tense.Planes of all descriptions have flown, day and night since the revolution started, above or near Gibraltar.Some of them have been planes \u201clegitimately\u201d in the service of either government or rebels.Others, it has been whispered, are planes from Italy, France and Germany, flying without identification to deliver men and munitions for the rebellion.Regardless of their identity or purpose, these planes have put a burden on Gibraltar; a burden of apprehension lest efforts to remain neutral should be wiped out by a more serious \u201caccident.\u201d As a result of the course of the revolt, the straits of Gibraltar now swarm with sea craft of all sorts, the majority of them with guns unlimbered and crews stripped for action.Perilous Jam in Straits way, Mr.and Mrs.Fred Robinson had their infant son baptized on Sunday, August 16th, at their home by Rev.A.E.Hagar.The child received the name, Hugh Stewart.Mr.and Mrs.W.Hobbs, of Sherbrooke, were guests at the home of Mr.Bert Cook.They all went to Bury in the morning to attend the last servie held there by Rev.Mr.Tire ordinary traffic flow of merchant and passenger vessels through the straits is enormous.Add to that Shells fell dangerously near British I the motley fleet of government by rebels.Many of these government ships operate at night without lights, butting into barges, piers and shipping.One freighter, out of Greece, was badly damaged when it was rammed by a darkened cruiser.Shuttling through this confusion are the greyhounds of the German war fleet more than ever alert since a German merchantman was stop, ped near Cadiz, Spain, northwest of Gibraltar.And, of course, British men-of-war still lurk in the shadow of Gib.raltar\u2019s rock, as they have for years.They are silent guardians; never threatening; only waiting.When a Spanish government cruiser prevented a British steamer from landing at Melilla, Spanish Morocco, British warships steamed to the scene and without firing a shot, obtained an apology from tha captain of the Spanish vessel, Portugal Adds to Danger Gibraltar feels the weight, too, of Portugal's nearness to blood-spattered Spain.England is bound by treaty to defend Portugal as strongly as if it were English territory.If reported efforts to drag Portugal into Spain's civil war, on one side or the other, show the slightest sign of materializing.England probably will enter the fight.And Gibraltar undoubtedly .would be the base of operations.As long as the British watchdog at Gibraltar is not attacked, it does not bite; but when danger comes to any of the links that form Britain\u2019s lifeline through the Mediterranean, then Gibraltar springs to life.And its teeth, in the form of heavy batteries of guns set in emplacements from bottom to top of the rock itself, have often, in times past, set their painful imprint on ambitious enemies the home of Mr.and Mrs.Thomas D.Brown.FLANDERS Mrs.H.Reed, who will spend a few months at the same home.Miss Davidson has spent the summer with her parents, Mr.and Mrs.Al- j fred Davidson, and family.Mr.Alfred Davidson is a guest MEGANTIC CO.HAPPENINGS ADDERLEY ;
