The ship was never heard from again, and to this day the story of how she was lost remains a. secret of. the sea, In all probability the hurricane arising a few days after the'steamer sailed, ac- counted for her disappearance, but how long she fought, the vicinity of her surrender and other details of the dranta have never been told.

All the regimental horses on the ship were killed during the gale, and the ship was saved only by changing the position of the men, One writer lat- er pointed out that the "dead" car- go of the City of Boston could not be shifted if the steamer developed a list, and that she had mot been built properly, as there were spaces of six feet between the deck-houses and bulwarks, which would hold a the ship would take in water on one side, and then more on the other, be- fore she could recover, "drowning herself." The first intimation that all was not well with the City of Boston was published as follows under the head of "disasters" in the British Colonist of Halifax, Februray 16, 1870: "At last accounts the mail steamer City of Boston had not arrived in England. A cable telegram from Mr. Inman, dated Liverpool, February 15, says 'I have no fears for the City of Boston. She cannot get on with these strong east winds. The New York mail boat, due last Friday, not yet reported," Some re-assurance was given on February 19 by a passenger who had come to Halifax on the last trip of the City of Boston from New York. Ihe steamer's fan had broken on her voyage to New York and a new one had been installed there. On lite trip to Halifax he thought he heard this work loose, The fan was lost en- route to England, he believed, and the ship was making a slow passage under sails against head winds. As late as March 10 the City of Boston was still believed to be mak- ing slow progress due to engine trou- ble, but on April 8, according to the British Colonist, the case was ack- nowledged to be "all but hopeless," Soon after anxiety was first felt for the ship, a pathetic incident was furnished in a false despatch: "City of Boston arrived Cork. All well" Church and fire bells began ringing all over Halifax, men and women joyfully shook hands, and the entire city was jubilant. Then it was learn- ed that the ship had not arrived and the message was a canard. The steamer City of Durham zig- zagged the course between Cork and Halifax, and the City of Antwerp performed a similar service between Halifax and Cork, but no sign of the missing ship or any wreckage &ould be found, S.P..A. CONCLUDES SUCCESSFUL YEAR Encouraging Reports On Work of Local Organiza- tion Given at Meeting Montreal, Jan, 27--What was described as one of the most suc- cessful years in the history of the organization, was reviewed at the annual meeting of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to An- fmals held in the Windsor Hotel Thursday. The effect of the work done by that body is being felt in both the urban and rural districts of the province, Kenneth T. Dawes, who will retain the presidency of the society for another year, reported. Activities of the inspector's de- partment during the past year showed that there were 4,485 dogs destroyed; 9,462 cats destroyed; 645 horses destroyed; 70 owners convicted of cruelty to animals; 10,714 animals examined; 1,99% complaints investigated; 4,698 warnings issued; 129 horses order- ed off work; 1,467 homes found; 12,105 ambulance runs; 479 stables examined; 18,793 poultry examined. Horses "Traded In" Much attention is being concen- trated by the society on the trad- iug in of old- worn-out horses, it was stated in the report submitted by the executive committee, In- gpectors are engaged to ascertain that there is no under cruelty. Reference was mr "* in the com- mittee report to the company at Longueuil that buys up practically all the broken-Cown horses which are killed and the meat sent to fox farms and to Europe for con- sumption. It is calculated that some 4,000 animals h ve . been brought to this place within the past three months, 'tI must be borne in mind," the report adds, "that if this plant did not exist a lot of these horses would sit]! be carrying on their work in the great deal of water, When laid to, * New York, Jan. 29 Sixty parrots of all sizes and colors are morosel glowering at each other in the -, She, hold of a, New York Sotnd ship t te everyone. comes within speaking distance what they think of "the land of the fr andthe home of the brave." happy a lot of parrots as find, They were headed for ica, where every parrot is the equal of every other one and each felt con- fident that fame and good fortune awaited him there.

It's a vir- tual impossibility to hold a parrot in- communicado and the skipper should have known it, . For long after the parrots had been forced from the promenade deck to the hold, sailors with the look of men who have received a bad shock came to the captain, and in awed tones, re- peated messages form the parrots, messages which were liberally be- inkled with language never learn- ed in the bird store.

'Phe 30th annual meeting of the Canadian Forestry = Association finds us once again with increasing evidences of public interest and co- operation," Mr. Black sald, "with every department of the association able to present advances and im- provements beyond the standards of previous years, Even our finan- cial experience, which threatened to leave us in an unhappy state due to the sudden withdrawal of sup- port during the stock market de- bacle, has turned out happily, with an {improvement in revenues of $14,511 over 1928, and a net addi- tion to the membership of 2,000, giving us a total strength of 32,- 000 all told." An even more important factor than surpassing previous standards of growth and educational influ- once was felt by Mr. Black to be the message of copatejetive for- estry which is found in the fire pre- vention propaganda, This has al- ready beon incorporated in goodly measure in the many hundreds of public lectures given in 1929, and will be a further help in the en- largement of educational scope planned for the campaign of 1930. bec Expected The past year, the manager claimed, except for the Province of Quebec was regarded by forest au- thorities as a fire year, during which about 10,000 fires, or double the average were noted, This was largely due to the extreme weather conditions of varying duration in north western Ontario, the Prairic Provinces and sections of British Columbia, while at the same time, hazardous weather put the forest services of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to severe, If less lengthy trials. "The real significance of the fire experience of 1929, is to be found not so muchsin the estimate of timber damage," Mr, Black con- 1 tinued "regrettable as it was, but |} in the ability of the forest services | in -many important areas to con- trol the situation with such unpar- | alleled effectiveness, Improved | SKIRTS Fine all wool tweeds, plain fabrics and silks, Reg. $3.95 and $4.95, '!
