History itself seemed to be speak- ing through the faded accents of Mrs. Horace Rickey as she sat in| ker sunny room that looks out on | the sparkling Bay of Quinte at Millhaven, and tried to recall me- mories of ninety years ago for the Whig. : "All the men from around here wefit for goldiers in the voiunteers to garrison Kingston. My father drove a load of them down in his, wagon. The Indians from Teyende-/ naga (Deseronto) were fighting for us that time. We usea to say that one Indian fighter was worth half a dozen British, They took a ship and sent it, all on firé, over the falls. When the Americans that owned it came next morning it was gone, Those were bad times." Faint echoes of that far-off, pas- sionate clash of opposing ideals of government and political tempera- ment, After the Rebellion her fa- ther, George Cunningham, drew for himself and his family a grant of 800 acres In the west, whore God- erich, Ont., now stands. But Mr. Cunningham preferred not to ven- ture into that distant wilderness and so forfeited the grant, Her father seems to have.led an adventurous life, and Mrs. Rickey's conversation reverted geveral times to his experiences, He had fought in many engagements both by land and sea, In one of the latter, a block--part of the rigging, perhaps --had fallen and cracked his skull. But the surgeons extracted the frag- ments of bone and replaced them with a silver plate--surely a marvel of gurgery in those rough days. The interviewer ~unfortunatély. . missed the sense of the good lady's further description of this gea fight. It had something to do with "red hot chain that set on fire everything it touch- ed," and "they=captured lots of ships." Could it have been at Tra- falgar that her immediate ancestor so nearly lost his life along with his tarry pig-tail? She couldn't say. He Was once a prisoner-of-war--doubt- leds In France--and suffered des- perate hardships.

This note was thrown over the wall, but fell into the hands of a guaid, The sequel sounds unlikely, in view of the rigorous punishment we would meet out to similarly bloody minded prisoné®s in our own day. Every attempt was made to placate these men and they were always after- wards treated with consideration by their alarmed guards, When her father came out to a position in the navy yard at Point Frederick, Kingston consisted of three log shanties,.one a blacksmith shop, another a storage shed and the third a general store, which was aleo dwelling and tavern. This, at least, is the tradition, which might not bear too close historical inves- tigation. When her father retired from the fndval establishment he was granted quite a good pension of twenty-five cents a day for life.
