are of any value the great reading public and the corner store debating society are alike welcome To begin then The anchor is a real mud hook an iron combina tion of ring shank arms and flukes on the very same principle as the ordinary anchors in use on and fresh waters today The anchors remember not the fancy mushroom kind nor Trotrnans nor any collapsible rig But a bona fide straight anchor such as ships have used for centuries To understand anchor lore it is necessary to remember that the points which grip the bottom are flukes taking their name from teeir resemblance in a way to the flukes in a fishs tail The body or trunk or stem of the anchor is a shank From the shank at tho bottom branch out two arms with the flukes at the ends The point of the juncture of the arms is the crown The ring is in the opposite end of the To it the chain or cable is fastened Just the ring stock runs across Wie shank The stock may be of iron or wood but it Is as long as the shank and the purpose it serves is to make the anchor lie on the bot tom in such a way that the flukes get a grip Tis by hav ing stock set on the shank at right angles to the direction the arms And now weigh The big anchor at Holland Landing is an cient for the following reasons Tho instead being curved as has been the style for- scores of years are straight forming- an ob tuse angle at the crown The ring is not set in like a clevis in fashion with a clevis bolt running through but simply passes through a hole in the head of the shank being welded after being ship ped The anchor has been Intended for a wooden stock Modern anchors have a round iron running through the shank near the- head for a stock The stocks of old anchors were made heavypieces wood banded together with iron bands and tapering towards the ends There is no stock to the Holland Landing anchor The original one has either rolled away or was never shipped Where the anchor lies now a log Is In the place the stock would- occupy it is merely a Jog Rut listen The Holland Landing anchor is of these dlmenslonsr Shanft feet long feet from tip to tip of flukes Ring 26 inches in diameter And here mystery No I There has never probably never will be a sailing vessel on the chain of lakes big enough for that anchor The anchors of the Toronto schooner Dunn the largest schooner that goes through theWclland Canal are scarcely a third as long The Dunn Is a vessel of nearly a thousand tons burden Are we to suppose then that Che sluggish Holland river ihat meanders between its marshes into Lake Sirncoe once floated ves sels three thousand tons I It is all the more puzzling when you look up the early vessels on the lakes in Robertsons Landmarks of Toronto and find that they were craft of a hundred tons and under mere cockle shells compared with such a vessel as the Dunn- But what would an anchor of any size bo doing at Holland Landing In the eighteenth century from which our anchor possibly dates there was a marine at back to the Or per hapsBut at any rate the stores have been and the Iroquois take what they want burn the rest and leave the anchor Or perhaps it is later and it a British Commissariat tram that is toiling along dragging its way through the wood on the same weary portage- What do they want an anchor like that for anyway growls Its five times as heavy as the anchors on the troopship we came out in Itll sink they are going to put it on And the same thought possibly strikes the commanding officer the waggon gets mired ten minutes later and he gives orders which translated mean Dump it something more And he reports to his superior when he arrives with the pork and powder and the rest of the stores that week before last lip had to abandon an anchor way in the bush but that the thing was too big for use anyway so it wasnt much loss And both have a laugh at the redtaped ignorance at home which sent out for small craft an inland sea an anchor big enough to hold a firstrate line of battle ship at her moorings during a gale in the western ocean Such ignor ance had not quite disappeared oven In the late Boer war and it is al most certain that our Holland Land ing anchor was either sent over from or France Such fancy work was not commonly constructed Canada in the days old And no fresh water mariner would order an anchor of that she to be forged here But you may guess till the fire goes out and be none the wiser The bold facts are that the anchor lies In 9 clearing In the Holland Landing called by courtesy a park and once much indented for picnic and horse faces And that Is where it was discovered in by one Abraham Block a Bait water sailor who had Just decided to seek his fortune In Ontario Block was attached- to a surveying party and missed the trail one day Shiver my timbers exclaimed he slashing his way through the un dergrowth if that old root dont look like an anchorarm Im a land lubber Before him in the gloom of the woods lay a curious object moss grown covered lichens yet won derfully like an anchor withal Wonder how shell up said Block to himself and down came his J Clink rang the metal and a spark flew safe the anchor was left where it now lies In the spring peace was declared which put a stop to of warlike vessels Mr authority was the late Mr Isaac Rogers East- who was one the party who were bringing the supplies from Toronto Mr says his younger brother had often crawled through the big ring at the em of the relic Mr A Haines Reeve of Whit church was in town last Saturday and this is what- he has to say about anchor My grandfather helped to draw it with his oxen from York now Toronto during the war of 1813 up the trail to what was known as the Lower Landing some two miles north the present village At that time came down the river that far It was destined for the Northern lakes Peace being declared it was left ly ing there for years attcrwardsj when it was removed to its present posi tion by citizens the Landing to what is known as the Holland Land ing park If my memory is right it took ten yoke of oxen two weeks to re move it from York to the Landing At about the same time thousands of cannon balls were piled and abandon ed near by to the anchor hundreds of which were afterwards bowled into the river by the boys Others were carried away as souvenirs I see by the Toronto Globe that a move is being made to have the anchor at Holland Landing re moved to the Garrison Commons To ronto Perhaps I can add somewhat to the information therein given which I think is perfectly reliable My- late wifes grandfather Cap tain Brock 0 said my wile when were viewing the anchor at Holland Landing had the charge of taking it from York Toronto across the country to in tended to be placed on a naval ves sel which was being built there On arriving at Holland Landing news was received that the war was ended They then and there abandoned the char go and left it at that place Joseph- Hewitt may had something to do assisting in carrying it there but I think without doubt Captain Brock had it in charge CODY WELL The immense value offered by the Family Herald and Star of Montreal this season is meeting tbe success the publishers

incidents some pathetic some joyous is thedepart- ure of a great ocean liner for An tipodes Although all fs commotion yet to the onlooker it is evident that the great assemblage of people is animated by the most var ied emotions ranging from extreme pleasure in the sanguine anticipation of a glad future to heartbreaking anxiety at the departure ol some loved one who may never be seen again Here are numerous families emi grating to the sunnier climes Aus tralia or New Zealand some colon ists returning from a visit to tbe old country newlymarried couples intending to fight the battle of life hand in band together in some colony where they think their energies will find wider scope than at home Here is an officer proceeding to join some expedition his young wife torn with conflicting emotions of love and dread fearful that that last embrace wilj bo the final parting on earth and that he with whom she had hoped to have trod the joyous path of life to- will be ruthlessly snatched from her wrecking her young dream of happiness and glad delight and her in a desolating heart ache and a gnawing corroding grief And here a gaunt figure approaches apprehension stamped upon every lin eament of his features looking as kance upon everyone and apparently animated impatient anxiety to get safely into the vessel But as he steps upon the gangway he is grasped by the mailed han of justice and is carried off to answer for his misdeeds Here are some particularly undesir able aliens happily intending to diet their pnbeuce upon one or other of the foreign ports at which the steamer will call instead answering to the anxious horde of obnoxious vampires which is settling down upon us and taking the bread out of our working mens mouths And here surrounded by all the turmoil and ferment of the last mo ments before valves the pant ing and throbbing engines of the great steamer are set free and the last hawser is cast off the onlooker notices a pathetic scene almost tragedy Evidently they were an engaged couple though the affection is apparently all on one side for tho cold heartless expression of the man who is about to quit her and tbe look of dumb agony upon the girls face unmistakably proclaim at the last moment he has cruelly re- his plighted troth And as vessel now steams off she looks in vain for any token fare well a dart has pierced her aching wounded heart through and through and crushed down with a tearless grief which fiercely rends and lacerates her heartstrings and dazes her with Its bitter torture hall distraught she slowly and sadly re tires soon it is to be hoped to tear out his cruel dastard image from her mind But assuredly many of those part- which the onlooker has been watching are hot for ever For if they both- have lived the life of
