GANNON BLS FOUND IN A MARSH BETWEEN | OSHAWA AND WHITBY. | {| Were Fired at a Vessel on Its Way to Kingston 1813 With Specie to Pay the Troops--A | i Keg of Gold Was Lost. i | Oshawa Reformer } During the war of 1512-14 with the | United States, it was frequently the {ease that the pay for the soldiers sta | tioned at the fort at York, as Toroen-| to was then named, had to be con- | veyed from Kingston in sailing Isels. In the late summfr of 1513, al { schooner conveying the gold specie for | | this purpose was proceeding along the | | north shore of La ntario, when a violent storm aros 1 the master of | the vessel, naturallyWconcerned about | the safety of the treasure, put in for | | shelter at a small' inlet iabout half way between the { harbors of Oshawa and Whitby | the vessel was safe from the storm, but a new danger presented itself. Ay American gunboat sighted = the vessel | and opened fire with cannon. The crew | of the vessel being without defence, he- came alarmed for ite own safety and] took to flight, forgetiul of the treas- ure they were leaving behind them- all exceptypne--a ladl named McGann, i who thought to enrich himself to the extent of one keg of the pracious sov-| ereigns He seized the keg, of oak, | containing the gold and started for | terra firma. But the muck and mire, | made rougher by fallen logs and stumps, made a poor pathway for Me- | Gann under the weight of his load. | and he finally dropped it into the| marsh. When the gunboat had satiat-| od its desire for target practice it | ceaséd firing and sailed away. The be-| frightened crew returned to their ves-| sel and also to their search for the| keg of gold that McGann had lost But alas | In the muck and mire, and | because of McGann's indistinet recol- | | loetion of where he had dropped it, they never found it, and continued on | | their voyage, one keg of gold lighter Numerous cannon balls have been | found on the 'lands adjacent to the | marsh, a fairly convincing attesta-| tion The marsh is nearly dried up, since the waters of Lake*Omtario have receded in the ninety-five years that have elapsed. A long: grass grows over the spot, and the nest of the mud hen or of the sand snipe are more apt to be encountered than a' barrel of gold.
