' THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1915. ON BARRIEFIELD HEIGHTS ~ WITH THE OVERSEAS TROOPS An evidence that the men Git ade ed to the 32nd, 33rd and 34th Bat- teries at Barriefield camp dre anx- ious to get fo the firing line is shown in the fact that when the news ar-| rived on Thursday that a draft was {| to be sent'to England in the course of a couple of weeks there was a great rush to be included. The when Major Massey, the com- officer, selected the men who would go. On Thursday morn- ing he announced that the call had come for reinforcements and tery After making the announcement -he told {| the men that they could have #intil| { Thursday afternoon to decide. When the battery lined up on Thursday afternoon about 2.30 o'clock the commanding officer sur- lining them up in One was composed of He immediately asked all the single men who were born in England, Ireland or Scotland to step out. ed.

McLaughlin or Lieut. Wallbank would go, so a draw was taken which resulted in Lieut. Wallbank being-the lucky officer. Major Mackenzie went over his command man by man and picked out the best men. The following Gananoque men were selected: An- drews, Baker, Chadwick, Rogers, Thompson, Churchill, Compeau and {'Cunningham. As soon as the men were chosen they put in command of the officer who will go overseas with them, and commenced artillery drill. Major Sears the commanding offi- { cer of the 33rd, will leave the selec-| tion ok his men to the section com- manders. | i | It is the general belief at the camp | { that the three batteries will be leav- ing for overseas as a complete unijt {im the course of a month or | weeks.

WHEN = QAUSEWAY AY DERRICK WENT DOW N INCLINE. They Jumped Ihto the Water--Work Has Begun On False Work For the Second Steel Span. The huge double derrick used by! the Hamilton Bridge Company's steel] workers for erecting .the spans at! the new Cataraqui Causeway. was removed from its former 'position on the Barriefield shore to a scow on Thursddy afternoon te be trans-! ferred across the channel and be' in! readiness to erect, the second span, where lower Ontario street joins the! cat way. A serious accident was narrowly averted when the derrick was being placed aboard the scow. The hoisting apparatus took a sud-| den lurch when going down the in-| cline and two of the workmen be-| tween it and the newly-erected steel! span. had to jump into the water. One of them became entangled in the false work beneath the span. A | few trying minutes elapsed before] he was rescued. After the excitement, | again resumed: placing Jie derrick |g on the scow and this was eventually! scoemplished without further mis-| hap, The steel tables required for constructing the false work were al- so removed later, and Mr. Parr, who's 1s in charge of ths steel workers, | expects to make a start either on!

Thousands of rivets will be re- quired to be placed into the first span which as yet has only been bolted togetirer, time, and, be hardly taken away he had his fitters placed at 'work erecting the air, compressing plant, which for a week or more will furnish the power for the rivetters. The shipping of, &teel to the city seems to be about™the only draw- back that Mr. Parr has to contend with. He told a Whig reporter -on Thursday afternoon that he hoped more steel would be on hand by the time the rivetting was all done on the first span. - » Déspondency and the "Blues" sually the result of constipation, auiekly succumb to Rexall Orderlies.
