Ottawa. -- Apparently there are | some automobile drivers who are | wise enough to reali & that it js | better to run into a ditch than into | | @ railway train. Another case of | this kind occurred at Hull, | 1 A resident of Val Tetreau, Hull, ditched an automobile he was driv- ing on the Aylmer road one Satur- day night, near the C. P. R. crossing | when his brakes failed to function, | #nd a train was coming along. His spill into the ditch probably sayed the lives of his passengers, three in | rumber, and his own, while his car was badly crippled. An auto containing four persons was driving in to Hull from Val Tetreau, at a fair rate of speed. They had reached the Pontiac rail- road crossing and were headed for the C. P. R. crossing, some yards ahead, when they were warned by the whistle of an approaching train, of danger ahcad. The driver at once applied the brakes, but found they would not stop the car, which was being rapidly carried on to the crossing with the train only a short distance away. Realizing that he could not get over the crossing ahead of the train the driver adopted the only course possible and cutting off the gas he turned the car into the side of the road, and in doing so struck a telegraph pole, which snapped in two by the impact, fell, just missing the auto, which turned over on its side, the top just graz- ing the mail coach of the train as it swept over the crossing. Strange to say, despite the shock of the col- lision when the car hit the telegraph pole, and its capsizing, none of the occupants were hurt beyond sustair- ing a few bruises and cuts, and a bad fright.

"They were simply transferred by Denmark to Scotland in 1468 in pledge for the payment of the dowry to the Prin- cess of Denmark, who was married to James III. King of Scotland. In the deed of transfer, which is still in existence, it is specially mentioned that Denmark shall have the right to redeem them at any future time by paying the original amount of the dowry with interest to date. There is little likelihood, however, that Denmark will ever at- tempt to exercise that right of re- demption, because 50,000 florins, the original amount of the dowry. would amount to perhaps a trillion of pounds sterling, and that is a bit more than the islands are worth.
