Albene Lalonde, the only survivor of the lake tragedy of Wednesday morning, The captain was the last to leave his vessel and as the wooden barge sunk he found a hatch cover, and clung to it for two hours, until he was picked up by the steamer Me- Vittie, and taken to Oswego. Capt. Arthur Lalonde, of Montreal, was in command of the steamer McVittie, -.. Captain Lalonde, of the Hiawatha, speaks no English, but through an interpreter stated that. he believes that the heavy sea must have over turned the yaw! during the night. It was launched free and clear of the wreck, he sald, and the men aboard knew well how to handle it. He is completely at. a loss to explain how the yawl was capsized otherwise, Captain Robert Graham, who com- mands the Magnolia, put about with the Hilda and as soon as daylight came made a thorough search of the waters for survivors with no result, AR ir HAD PILES FOR TEN YEARS And Tried Nearly iverything Except a Surgical Operation Without Ob- taining Relief--Tells How Com- plete Cure Was Effected.

The Hiawatha had no davits and the women and child with O. Hain- ault whose wife and ' child were aboard, were placed in the yaw! with Hainault and the boat launched. The other men took to the raft. Before the Hiawatha started to sink the bulkheads were knocked out by the crew to allow the water to run off her deck. The waves, how- ever, crept into the hold.

He cut the line when he gaw that the boat was about to sink. Saw Men Sink. The steamer McVittie was but a short distance awal when the last two survivors were seen to sink, The others, including the women and child, must have perished in the darkness Captain Albert Lalonde, of the Mc Vittie through his glasses saw the last two sink from sight This was about 6 o'clock in the morning, Every bit of speed possible was be- ing made by the MeVittie, When picked up the captain of the Hiawatha was exhausted after his two hours' fight for life.

Although the line was practically. new, it took but a single blow to severe it, indicating the extent of the strain. The captain said he made a sound- ing twenty minutes or half an hour before the boat foundered and found but six inches of water in the hold. A few minutes later the boat began to fill up and he ordered the crew to leave the craft. The high wind and sea continued until early in the morning and then it swung around to the south so that by the time the McVittie reached the scene the weather had moderated considerably, A Curious Feature. A curious feature of the tradegy was the meeting for the first time of the Captains Lalonde, the rescued and the rescuer. Though of the same name they are no relation to each other, the McVittie's captain coming from Montreal, A Word For Margarine. Hamilton Herald, Dr. Robertson had much to say on the question of the conservation of food, and the importance of eparing white flour, beef and bacon for the benefit of the Allies, We read: "In his' opinion oleomargarine was just as valuable in nutritive properties, pound for pound, as butter, for ail ordinary purposes. The only reason it had not been allowed in Canada was that dairymen felt it had been sald in the past not as a substitute for butter. 'but as a counterfeit of butter. The Government did not want to precipitate a conflict on this question during war-time between the country and city people." Acknowledges Subscriptions. G. BE.
