He also mention- ed in his letter ‘that so far s he knew he was, the only person™by the and these facts coupled tead to the belief that the rescuer is’ Stratford's Frank Coghil This was very iatecauisaa® to Lis- towel readers as Frank Coghill was a Listowel boy, born and raised here before moving to Stratford. His father was a tailor here, having his shop on Wallace street, and the fam- ily lived in the house now owned by Mr. Jermyn, next to the United church. Frank would therefore’ be known to a large number of citizens. A later report, however, denied that the Coghill referred to was a Stratford boy, and therefore not the one that Listowel people were inter- ested in, but a very distant relative. This later report reads as follows “Ottawa, April 20—The airman, who effected the rescue of the Spanish aviators, Estevez and Calvo, in the Egyptian desert a few days ago, is not Frank Coghill, of Stratford, Ontario, but a very dist- ant relation, according to Lieut-Col.
