July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 1)	It is not often that the Police have to express themselves as not pleased with the rescue of any citizen from the jaws of death, but they did so after the rescue of the notorious John McGRATH from drowning. The good natured guardians of law and order are worried to death with this ne’er – do well, and it is little wonder that the Supt of Police said that the watchman deserved censure for attempting to rescue Jack, who only smiled, and no doubt longed for liberty to get another dig at the Police, but he will have 30 days to turn over a new leaf.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 2)	Hon. Edgar BOWRING has the honor of having the largest motorcar ever landed in this port.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 3)	The latest reports from the SS Invermore are, that she is in the same position and that the sea was smooth so that if the weather conditions continue favorable, the Kyle will have a try to tow her off the rocks.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 4)	Two brothers named SCANLAN and another named DAWE were captured while burglarizing the store of Mr. McNAMARA, Queen’s Street. The lads had got in through a rear window and were making a big haul of cigarettes when the Officers pounced on them. They were introduced to Magistrate KNIGHT the next morning, and remanded for eight days, as the Police think they will now be able to clear up several other robberies of a smaller scale.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 5)	An engineer on one of the foreign steamers in port was arrested yesterday for assaulting and injuring one of the Stewards, a young lad named Thos. JOHN.
July 25. 1914	Travelers	Miss Dulcie HARBIN went to Lewisporte last Sunday to visit her father. Ensign EARLE has marvelous tales to tell of his visit to the other side of the ocean. We think the Ensign could make a very interesting lecture of his experiences. Mr. L. EARLE went to Roberts’ Arm in HOWLETT’s motorboat on Thursday. Mr. W.F. COAKER was at Coakerville and Herring Neck this week. Mr. And Mrs. HARNETT leave by the Prospero. Mrs. W. DUDOR intends to return to Little Bay Island by next Prospero. Mr. H.J. HOWLETT and son Freddie, returned from St. Anthony last night by Prospero where they been for treatment for Freddie’s eyes. Mrs. HOWLETT went to Seldom by Prospero last night.
July 25. 1914	Visitors	Captain HARBIN. Mrs. J.W. AITKEN accompanied by her mother and Mrs. SCOTT, arrived from Botwood by Clyde, Sunday. Rev. STENLAKE arrived from St. John’s and takes up his new duties at Campbellton, shortly. Mr. J.D. LOCKYER paid a brief visit here on Wednesday. Mr. Tom POND and wife arrived recently, and are staying at Mrs. Wes ROBERTS’ house. Mrs. ROBERTS herself, also arrived recently. Mrs. L. OSMOND and Miss Pauline OSMOND were visiting relatives and friends here this week. Mr. Will EARLE of Fogo was in town on a brief visit this week. Miss OLDFORD of Musgrave Town and Miss Winnie HARRIS from Morton’s Harbor arrived by Prospero on Friday. The former is visiting her grandmother, Mrs. MINTY of the Arm, the latter is the guest of Mr. A.J. PEARCE. Master Stan NEWMAN arrived by Prospero.
July 25. 1914	Serious Cut	Minnie PAYNE, daughter of Mr. Geo. PAYNE, and servant with Mrs. G.D. MAYNE, sustained a serious cut on her hand, from which she nearly bled to death, by falling on a piece of glass on Monday. For a little while, there was much excitement and the telephone proved its value. Doctor LeDREW was summoned and Doctor SMITH was also got hold of later, and between the two, the severed artery was tied up. It would be a good thing to remember that a severed artery always bleeds in throbs with the heart, and the best way to check bleeding is to apply pressure on the artery above the cut, though we have seen dog flour used with good results, but the Doctor generally wishes it had not been used when he arrives.
July 25. 1914	Fishing Report	The Labrador outlook is very black, and judging from latest reports, the whole coastline is blocked, ice being as far South as Battle Harbor. On Wednesday, Venison Island reported good fishing, while Battle Harbor reported caplin plentiful and good jigging. Since then, reports indicate no improvement. ….. The only bright ray of sunshine in the whole situation is the dispatches from Lamaline which say that on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, they had the best trap fishing there, in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. What a lot of that sort of thing we could stand for! The first new fish of the season, 12 qtls., was taken at Earle’s on Wednesday. We did not hear the price but understand it will be about $7. Some traps are still picking up a nice little bit of fish, though it is spurty and uncertain. SHEPPARDS have about 150 barrels, John DOVE about 80, SHARPS about 50, RIDOUTS about 100, Mr. Henry SPENCER had 11 barrels one haul this week. ANSTEYS had over 100 salmon in their net one haul, and over 40 another time, though they have not had very good hauls of fish. One day they trapped 7 barrels one haul. Fishermen at Fogo, Barr’d Islands and Joe Batts Arm are doing well. Mr. W. EARLE informed us that all their traps are doing nicely. Hook and line men seem to have drawn a blank generally. Mr. John HODGE was here this week and returned to Fogo Thursday. Mr. A.H. HODGE accompanied him thither. Mr. HODGE informs us that reports from some of his dealers at New Bay report the fishery in that locality is very poor, in fact the worst for years.
July 25. 1914	First Report of an Automobile Accident	The automobile slightly damaged a fence at Bluff Head Cove while turning. The machine was not damaged as rumored.
July 25. 1914	Doctor SMITH's New Horse	A new horse for Doctor Smith arrived by Clyde on Friday.
July 25. 1914	Death	Mr. And Mrs. Stephen LOVERIDGE lost their year old baby on Monday. Please accept Sympathy.
July 25. 1914	Death	The death of the wife of Mr. Samuel YATES of the South Side, occurred on Monday, at the age of 67. The Sun extends its sympathy.
July 25. 1914	New Ladies' Tailor	Mr. EDWARDS, the ladies’ Tailor, arrived by Springdale last week, but so far we have not heard whether he will decide to open shop here or not.
July 25. 1914	No Tailor!	We hear that Mr. EDWARDS will not open the ladies tailoring establishment here that he first proposed.
July 25. 1914	Shipping News	A cargo of coal arrived to G. BLANDFORD in the Danish three master “Smidth” on Wednesday. Captain Frank ROBERTS left St. John’s this week, but we understand he only comes as far as Seldom this trip.
July 25. 1914	Illness	Mr. Edward LINFIELD has been very sick for some time, but is now mending. We hear that his ailment was diagnosed as rheumatic fever.
July 25. 1914	Death	Died, on 21st inst., of meningitis, Evelyn Frances, darling child of Mr. And Mrs. Stephen LOVERIDGE, aged 1 year and 1 month. “Our flower has been transplanted in the Paradise of God.”
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 1)	A most destructive fire occurred at Kelligrews a few days ago, when the Roman Catholic Church, Schoolhouse, and two dwellings, were razed to the ground. A staff of carpenters was repairing the Church, and it is thought, one of them must have dropped a lighted match among the shavings. The loss is estimated over $8000, but with very little insurance. It is indeed a big item for a little settlement like Kelligrews.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 2)	Doctor RENDELL lost a valuable horse one day last week, which on account of breaking its leg, had to be snot. [This obviously should read “shot” but I wrote it exactly from the sheet! GW.]
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 3)	Captain Tom HALLETT of Burin is what may be called a fish killer. He hails for 3100 qtls. to date and expects to reach the 5000 mark before the close of the season.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 4)	Doctor KEEGAN who has not been well lately, is now enjoying a short vacation up the country.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 5)	Diver SQUIRES having completed the necessary work, attempted to refloat the Stella Maris at low tide yesterday afternoon, but without success, notwithstanding the fact that the decks were caulked and every possible opening closed. The Stella Maris was being prepared for the Labrador, and was coaling at MOREY’s, South Side. When the men returned from breakfast, they found her at the bottom, with only the funnel above the water. It is said someone left the portholes open.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 6)	An interesting fact in connection with the Rev. Mr. BARTLETT’s new charge at Sydney, C.B., is that his Great – Great – Grandfather, the Rev. John SNOWBALL, was Pastor of Mr. BARRTLETT’s present Church from 1834 to 1836.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 7)	An old soldier named James DURRANT was presented to the Duke on St. George’s Field. Mr. DURRANT was a member of the Highland Brigade, which took part in the battle of Tel – El – Kebir under command of H.R.H. As the Duke passed the R.C. Cathedral on his way to St. George’s Field, the joy bells rang forth a peal of welcome. Wednesday and Thursday were busy days for the Duke, and he was kept on the move all the time. Thousands of people watched the landing of the Duke on Wednesday, and although during the morning the weather looked threatening, the rain held off, and not a hitch occurred to mar the right Royal welcome, which everywhere greeted the Prince.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 8)	A sad drowning case happened on the local fishing grounds last Saturday morning. Two brothers named HALL, with a comrade Garland PORTER, left for the fishing grounds at daylight. Not meeting with much success they decided to fish all day. In using the sculling oar to turn the boat, by Peter HALL, the oar came out of the socket and the poor fellow was precipated into the water. Being heavily clad he quickly sank to rise no more. The men fishing near, were promptly on the spot, and with the use of jiggers brought the body to the surface. He leaves a wife and three children.
July 25. 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 9)	A week or two ago, Walter SNOW, a 21-year-old Newfoundlander was arrested at the instance of the Canadian Authorities for desertion from the Royal Canadian Regiment, and for stealing the sum of $553. Although he denied any knowledge of the theft, $225 was found on his person. He will probably be sent back to Canada for trial.
July 25. 1914	Wedding Bells CROWTHER – OAKLEY.	On July 8th. at Saint Mary’s Church, by the Rev. Henry UPHILL, Mr. Edwin Arthur CROWTHER of Cumberland, England, to Miss Althea Margaret OAKLEY (formerly of Twillingate), third daughter of Mr. And Mrs. James OAKLEY. The bride was attended by her sister and cousin, the Misses Marion and Georgie OAKLEY, and given away by her father, the bridegroom being supported by Mr. Will DOWNTON. After the ceremony the bridal party drove to the bride’s home, where a reception was held, afterwards accompanied by their many friends, they drove to Waterford Bridge, en-route to Topsail to spend their honeymoon.
July 25. 1914	Wharf Collapses	Shortly after 8 o’clock this morning and when the men had gone to their breakfast, the middle part of P. & L. TESSIER’s wharf, for about 35 feet in length and 20 in depth, suddenly collapsed and 22 barrels and 12 tierces of molasses on it, rolled into the water and sank to the bottom. The wharf is strewn with the molasses cargo coming out of the schooner Arnold, lying there, and is owned by W.A. MUNN, and it was perhaps fortunate that no men worked there or somebody might have been hurt. The section where the wharf collapsed contains the ballast locker, and as the place had been deepened by the dredge, and the silt and sand removed from the feet of the shores, the ballast was forced out, and the shores went. The molasses it is feared will be spoiled, and it represents a value of $300. An effort will be made to get it up.
July 25. 1914	Mining Prospects Fleur de Lys	A number of Americans, who were examining the HODDER property at Sleepy Cove, left again Sunday via Lewisporte. We are informed, though we cannot guarantee its correctness, that they decided not to take up this property, but will examine Mr. Jas. HODDER’s property at Fleur De Lys, with a view to taking an option on that.
July 25. 1914	Narrow Escape	The old Stella Maris, which sank at the wharf while coaling, is giving her owners considerable trouble to raise her. John TAYLOR has 20 men at work on her, and after the diver had covered the hatches and ports, the Ingraham attempted to pump her out, but to no avail. Derricks are now being rigged on the Ingraham to assist, when the pumps are again started. Some women, who were going aboard her to clean, had a narrow escape for, just as they reached the wharf, the ship sank.
July 25. 1914	Invermore Abandoned	The Invermore has now been abandoned, and all hope of refloating her given up. The Reid Co. had a telegram on Monday from the Kyle saying that nothing can be done to refloat her. There is also a heavy jam of ice in that area and the Kyle has had heavy ice to contend with ever since leaving Battle Harbor. Captain J. KEAN and crew of Invermore will return by Kyle.
July 25. 1914	Motor Car vs. Horses	The advent of Mr. ASHBOURNE’s new motor car has of course brought forth considerable critisism, and naturally there are some old folk who can see no use in such contraptions as automobiles. There are also the owners of horses who, unused to such things, easily see in an automobile a terrifying sight. It is the purpose of this article to discuss the matter from the standpoint of both horse and automobile owners. We may say that we had, through the kindness of Mr. ASHBOURNE, a drive in his motorcar, and can testify to the careful and cautious driving of Mr. Tom ASHBOURNE. Now although horse owners, (with the exception of Mr. POND, whose horse Dick, regards automobiles with contempt and indifference,) have their kick, they are not the first. A St. John’s horse went into hysterics when the streetcars first started, and no doubt the cars were valiantly cussed by the drivers, but the horses got used to them, and ours will do the same. …..
July 25. 1914	Death	Elizabeth BENNETT of Island Harbor, Fogo, was burnt to death on Monday. The woman who was an imbecile, is supposed to have set fire to her clothes with matches.
July 25. 1914	Charged With Theft	A girl was brought here from Westport, White Bay, by Prospero last night, charged with a theft of money.
July 25. 1914	Bad Fall	We regret to learn that Mr. Chas WHITE sustained a nasty accident this week by falling over the stable door, bruising himself considerably, and being confined to his bed.
July 25. 1914	Fell off the Train	Saturday night a young man named Frank MURPHY of the city, fell off the outgoing express at Waterford Bridge and is now in hospital undergoing treatment. MURPHY who formerly worked around the railway yard, boarded the train near the Gas House, without having purchased a ticket, and as the Conductor was about to speak to him near Waterford Station, he either fell or jumped off the cars, striking heavily on the earth. A message was sent to town and the ambulance dispatched to bring him to the city, first aid being applied in the interim, at the Station. After reaching the Hospital he was operated upon, there being several bruises and cuts on the head and body, but not of a serious nature, and his full recovery is only a matter of time.

August 1, 1914	Imposing New Building	J.W. HODGE’s new Store Under Construction. The old shop and office has been taken down at what was formerly TOBIN’s or SCOTT’s, and work on the new store has begun. There will be a concrete cellar and furnace under one end, which will extend 75 feet back over the water, from the road. The place will be heated with hot air, and the office is to be in the rear, over the wharf. A mantle room will be built in the S.W. corner. The store will be 75 X 34 feet, exclusive of the mantle room, and the counters will run at right angles to the street. The building will be two storey above the basement, and the top flat will be storeroom and warehouse. Mr. Ben ROBERTS is in charge of the construction, which is sufficient guarantee that it will be a good job.
August 1, 1914	Visitors	Mr. And Mrs. F.A. SCOTT arrived by Clyde on Sunday and we are glad to welcome Fred home again after a lengthy absence. Mrs. SCOTT has been given a cool exception by the weatherman, but we trust he will show how well he can behave before her departure. They will remain about three weeks – they return to Winnipeg. Mr. BUTLER representing A.H. MURRAY was at Earle Sons & Co on business this week. Messrs. A.H. HODGE, Tom and Ned HODGE, and Miss Frances HODGE arrived by motorboat on Monday. Mr. Arch BUTCHER and wife arrived by Clyde Thursday. Mr. John GILLINGHAM arrived yesterday by Clyde. Doctor and Mrs. WOOD arrived by Clyde Friday morning. Mr. George LEDREW and wife of Glenwood, arrived yesterday.
August 1, 1914	Correction	Through an amusing mixup in news items last week, Mrs. HOWLETT was stated as going to Seldom. The item referred to Mr. And Mrs. HARNETT who went thither.
August 1, 1914	Travelers	Miss PUTZKI goes to Pilley’s Island this week to visit her brother who is at the Grenfell Hospital there. Mrs. DUDER, Misses Winnie HARRIS and OLDFORD, left by Prospero Thursday. Mrs. R. TEMPLE arrived by Prospero Thursday.
August 1, 1914	Fishing Reports	Passengers from Change Islands informed us that some schooners belonging to Mr. Solomon ROBERTS are doing well at Bell Isle, and that Captain Ambrose PAYNE who is there, has 500 barrels. The schooners Harold B. Raymond, TILLER master, and Columbia, G. BISHOP master, have arrived at Wesleyville from the Straits with 270 qtls. fish each. A message was received by Mrs. D. WHEELER on Tuesday, from her husband, Captain David WHEELER, saying that he was jammed in Ice Tickles, and that 300 sail of craft were there, also jammed.
August 1, 1914	Five new Births This Week	Sunday was a busy day for the Doctors and five lusty babies arrived on the scene. Quite an increase in population.
August 1, 1914	Births At Twillingate	To Mr. And Mrs. MORGAN of Bay Roberts, on Sunday, a daughter.
August 1, 1914	Births At Twillingate	To Mr. And Mrs. George NEWMAN, on Sunday, a daughter.
August 1, 1914	Births At Twillingate	To Mr. And Mrs. Arthur MAY, on Sunday, a daughter.
August 1, 1914	Births At Twillingate	To Mr. And Mrs. Stanley PARSONS of Jenkin’s Cove, on Sunday, a daughter.
August 1, 1914	Births At Twillingate	To Mr. And Mrs. ANSTEY at Little Harbor, on Sunday, a [nothing here!]
August 1, 1914	Births At Twillingate & Herring Neck	We learn that there were altogether six babies born on Sunday, the 6th. being a Mrs. KNELL of Ragged Point, a son. There was also a baby born at Herring Neck the same day. This is what one might call “Caplin Scull.”
August 1, 1914	The Sidney Smith	ASHBOURNE’s men have been getting some wharf blocks over by the Sidney Smith, which lies in HODGE’s Beach, and it is proposed to heave the ship down where she lies and stop the leaks.
August 1, 1914	Shipping News	The Vernie May, Captain Arch ROBERTS, sailed yesterday with nearly 1000 barrels of herring from G.J. CARTER. Captain Harry MANUEL put into port Thursday, on the way to Bell Island with lumber.
August 1, 1914	Misuse of Public Money	R.H. LEDREW of Pilley’s Island was sentenced recently to a term of imprisonment for misuse of public monies belonging to Department of Marine and Fisheries.
August 1, 1914	Child in the Well	Doctor SMITH’s youngest child fell in their well a couple of Sundays ago while his mother was at Church. The Doctor fished him out before he had been in very long.
August 1, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 1)	During the week a familiar figure has been called to his rest. Mr. E. CUMMINGS, at the patriarchal age of 93. He was an Irishman by birth and immigrated to this country 70 years ago. For many years he worked with BAIRD Bros., and proved himself to be a man of integrity and uprightness.
August 1, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 2)	The war cloud appears to be hovering over Europe just now, and one can hardly hazard an opinion as to what the outcome will be. With Austria, Germany, and Russia watching Servia, and to come nearer home, the internal troubles over Home Rule, it does not look very promising for the world’s peace.
August 1, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 3)	Two strayed Bank fishermen of the schooner Artizan, found their way to Tor’s Cove last Tuesday, after a 200-mile experience in their dory. Upon reaching the City, they were looked after by Minister PICCOTT.

August 8, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 1)	The Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company Directors were around on an inspection tour, which took in all the surface workings, the methods of raising, the pre crushing and shipping, and many other details. The visitors accompanying the Directors were much impressed with what they saw, and when they were told that on their areas alone, there was enough ore in sight to keep the Company engaged for hundreds of years, they simply marveled. The workings extend now, 10,000 feet under the sea and must be well across Conception Bay.
August 8, 1914	New Bay Notes (Part 1)	Pardon me but perhaps a word from New Bay would not be amiss. We are getting some beautiful weather now, although the Spring was cold and backward, but now nature is all alive. Leaves and flowers and fruit are feeling the resurrection power of Spring and Summer, and we see life instead of death in it all. The Home is doing splendid work this Summer, and we congratulate our esteemed friend, Captain HARBIN and his obliging Officers and crew. The fishery is poor. I don’t think there is more than 10 quintals of fish caught among the hook – and – line men, and perhaps 40 quintals is the extreme with traps. The season being short, the lobster fishery is also small. Herring have been rather plentiful, but uncertain to what they were other years, but they have been a means of helping when other things failed. Our old friend Mr. John LOCKE has been around looking after the lobster interest, and Mr. DEE was with him on his last trip, paying for the spawn lobsters that had been put overboard. We are told by some of our men that there has been a great many of these large female lobsters up in the Arms this summer, and those put over must naturally help to keep the little stock of lobsters left, good.
August 8, 1914	New Bay Notes (Part 2)	We think the Government is acting wisely and men ought to be grateful and work in unison with the Government, to keep the ground stocked with this very profitable crustacean. Yesterday the motorboat F.P.U., came in Cottrell’s Cove towing a boat from Leading Tickles with the corpse of Mrs. K. BUTLER, who died the previous Sunday, aged 62. These good people really appreciate Mr. COAKER’s kindness. We saw Magistrate WELLS of Little Bay and Constable DEWLING, passing South by the Home yesterday. It must have been a disappointment to the friends at Twillingate that his Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, could not pay them his intended visit. No doubt His Excellency the Governor will be able to carry out his plans, and pay you a visit in September, which will be highly appreciated by all. Referring again to telephone or telegraph connection between New Bay and Fortune Harbor, we still maintain it is very necessary, and we ought to get it. Glad to say the Honorable Mr. BENNETT, Col. Sec., has kindly had it looked up and reported on, still could not hold out very much encouragement for various reasons, but we believe difficulties will vanish, and New Bay will get the connection ‘ere long.
August 8, 1914	New Bay Notes (Part 3)	Some have said, “You don’t deserve it.” Well, we know the Hon. Gentlemen in power are above the petty meanness that is meant by that phrase. We have been sent some money to complete the shed on the public wharf, and some of the regular main line and local grants, and as soon as possible, the work will be done. We are told that $200 special grant, was sent back from here last Fall, though it was badly needed on our roads. Why was not this money sent to the Road Board of Cottrell’s Cove, instead of to another man outside, with his own Board? We do not meddle with any one else’s money and business, and we say fearlessly, it is unfair and unmanly for someone else to be interfering with ours. We are here with and for the good of all and shall try and get what is fair for them, independent of favor or frown, and it will be a pleasure to us to give the Government praise for what they do for us.
August 8, 1914	New Bay Notes (Part 4)	Rev. Mr. RIDOUT is back with us for another year – trust it may be profitable for him and the cause he represents. We hear there have been quite a few marriages at Point Leamington just lately. Mr. Eph. ROWSELL has had two sons and one daughter married, and we are told Mr. John SHANON [this should be John SHARRON. gw.] and Miss Elfreda YATES, daughter of Mr. Adolphus YATES, J.P., S.E. Arm, have met somewhere between here and St. John’s, and some good Minister has gone through the marriage service with them and made them happy. To one and all of these young people we tender our best wishes for a long and happy life. We are sorry to relate the death of Mrs. George HACKETT, who died at Leading Tickles after a painful and protracted illness, leaving a sorrowing husband, and four little children, with whom we deeply sympathize. P. MOORE.
August 8, 1914	Visitors	Mr. And Mrs. Thomas ARKLIE and children, arrived last week, and returned to Botwood on Monday. Mr. P.W. ANSTEY arrived from Burgeo last Friday and will spend a week or two here. His mother accompanies him on his return to Burgeo. Mr. Frank SAUNDERS of Gander Bay was in town on Monday. He purchased Mr. Jonathon BURT’s motorboat and returned to Gander Bay in her Wednesday. Mrs. S. COOK and children returned to Change Islands by the Clyde on Sunday. Mrs. Henry MANUEL and four children arrived by MANUEL’s motorboat Tuesday, from Loon Bay, and left by the Prospero the next morning to visit her relatives at Greenspond. Mr. Thos ARKLIE and wife, who were here last week, returned to Botwood on Monday. Mr. J.W. AITKEN paid a brief visit here this week. Mrs. T. MANUEL and Mrs. J. WHEELER of Loon Bay, are spending a week in town.
August 8, 1914	Naval Reservists	Eleven Naval Reservists from Fogo, were on board the Clyde on Monday, en-route for St. John’s. All Magistrates, J.P.’s, Customs Officers, and Police, received orders from the Commander of the Calypso last Saturday, to notify as to addresses of Naval Reserve Men in their locality. St. John’s, 6th. – By the Trepassy, evening, a number of Naval Reservists left for Cape Race to guard the Marconi Station there, while other detachments will be detailed to look after the cables, which are landed Cuckold’s Cove and Heart’s Content. Mr. KEEFE of Little Harbor, Naval Reservist, left for St. John’s by Clyde yesterday. We wish him “Good Luck” with a chance to small powder, and a safe and quick return home.
August 8, 1914	Ensign EARLE Relocating	We regret to learn that Ensign and Mrs. EARLE are leaving us very shortly, and will in future be stationed at Pilley’s Island.
August 8, 1914	Fishing News	Fish struck in Trinity Bay. One trap at Dunfield took 100 quintals.
August 8, 1914	Schooner Lost	Schooner Melrose, SAUNDERS master, lost at entrance to St. Anthony. Crew safe. The Marine and Fisheries Department received a message from the Sub – Collector at St. Anthony on the 4th. stating that the schooner Melrose, SAUNDERS Master, had struck on the rocks at the entrance to that Harbor, and would become a total wreck. The crew were saved.
August 8, 1914	WAR!	The events of the week have moved rapidly, and what was dreaded has become an actual happening, and about the whole of Europe is engaged in a desperate struggle. It is a more or less difficult matter for the weekly newspaper in the out ports, to keep well up on the latest in the matter of news. No sooner does Monday arrive than we have to begin getting up material for our Saturday’s issue, so that often, what seems important on Monday, has been eclipsed by other happenings before Saturday. However, the Sun will do its best to keep its readers fully informed, and daily typewritten reports will be posted on the bulletin board outside the Sun office, for the benefit of the Public. That the bad effect on trade will be very considerable, there is no doubt. Germany affords the chief market for our canned lobster, and that market has been practically closed. Lobsters, which were quoted in St. John’s at $23 a case, and for which as high as $26 has been paid, in this Bay were unsaleable at $10 the case on Saturday. The three master M.A. James, which is now here waiting to get to Cartwright, Labrador, with salt and to load fish, expects to experience long delays, for war risks are not covered, or rather, are provided against in charter parties, and no fish buyer will risk a cargo of fish, even if he were sure of a market, which he is not, while there was any danger from the enemy’s warships on the North Atlantic.
August 8, 1914	Gone off to Join His Regiment	Doctor WAKEFIELD of the Grenfell Mission was here on Thursday in the motorboat Amber Jack, on his way to Lewisporte to entrain for St. John’s. He is an Officer of the Territorials, and is on his way to England to join his Regiment. We wish the Doctor success. He was formerly stationed at Pilley’s Island in the Grenfell Hospital there.
August 8, 1914	Halifax Prepares for War.

Orders issued last night from Military Headquarters, brought out a large number of volunteers, and from the ranks of the 63rd. Regiment, 100 able bodied men were selected to at once take their part in the defense of this province.

August 8, 1914	Expert Diver Supplies Thrills	She is 61 years old and has 8 daughters, and a son, all Swimmers. Bathers on one of the diving platforms of the Calhoun baths yesterday, were treated to a rescue from a drowning scene, good enough for a motion picture. A funny old woman dressed in black, who had been rowed out to the platform in a boat, declared her intention of going in swimming. “Oh please stop her! She is our Mother!” cried two girl bathers in alarm, but she persisted, and when an elderly man bather tried to hold her, she pulled him off the platform and into the water they went together. Then came the lifeguard, rowing furiously. He grabbed the aged woman and tried pulling her into his boat. A number of bathers tried to assist. Then a voice called out, “Let her alone, she can swim better than any of you!” This may or may not be true, but the elderly woman proceeded to prove that she is some diver. Tucking her skirts between her knees, she stood on her head on the end of a springboard, and went into the water with the grace of a seal. Then she turned somersaults and made standing and sitting dives of various kinds, and disported herself in the water for more than an hour, with all the playfulness of a ten-year-old boy. The funny old woman was Mme. Lizzy BERLO, who does a comedy diving stunt at the Unique Theatre next week, and the girls with her, were three of Patte’s Diving Nymphs. Mme. BERLO is 61 years old, the mother of 8 girls and 1 boy, all of them living, and all of them professional swimmers or exhibition divers. She is a Newfoundlander by birth, and last year, made a record of swimming from The Palisade Park on the Hudson, to the Battery, believed to be the long distance record for a person of her age. Two of her daughters who are with her, Madeline and La Diva, also hold swimming and diving records.

The vessel Schmidt, which discharged salt at G.J. CARTER’s, left Tuesday for Herring Neck, taking 250 barrels of herring to be loaded on the Vernie May. She will wait for a cargo of Labrador fish. Mr. BLANDFORD is expecting a load of coal by vessel Protector and it will probably have arrived before we go to press (if the German Cruisers have not copped it!) The Vernie May, Captain Arch ROBERTS, arrived yesterday with cargo provisions etc., for G.J. CARTER. She goes to Friday’s Bay to take in herring, when completed discharging.

The Reserve is being mobilized in Newfoundland both for service there and in Nova Scotia. The strength of the force numerically is about 1500. Preparations for making ready the Niobe, which has been lying idle at the Dockyard Pier, ever since the Government put this valuable training Cruiser out of commission two years ago, went on space yesterday, and the ship is being provisioned for three months for 1000 men. Advertisements appear calling for 40 volunteers to man the engine room. The ship will be put into as effective working order as possible, and with such a magnificently trained body of men, as are the Naval Reserve of Newfoundland, manning her, the Niobe is expected to be a most effective addition to the protective facilities of Halifax, and the Coast of Nova Scotia in the event of Hostilities.
August 15, 1914	Big Sale on at Earle's	There is quite a rush on at Earle Sons & Co store. They are selling off the balance of their stock at Twillingate, and has they have reduced prices on all goods to about half; they will have everything sold out within a few days.

August 15, 1914	The War Disrupts Business	Reports reach us from the City of the disorganization of business there, by the war. … it is impossible to make sales of fish, while some sales made are still unpaid, owing to the dislocation of business by the war. One firm we are told, that of Alan GOODRIDGE and Sons, have closed its doors, at least for the time being, and Reid’s are reducing the time of some of their employees at the Dock premises, while other firms are laying off men. There were rumors that the Horwood Lumber Company were in financial difficulties, but we hear that ‘though they have discontinued shipments By Captains Andrew and Frank ROBERTS, their own ship, the Arthur H. WHITE will still be kept in their lumber carrying trade. Dog Bay has a cut of about four millions this year, and Campbellton, which has barely started, will have half as much. … There seems to be good prospects of a fair Labrador voyage, and even if fish does not sell for much more than $4, at least the time has been known when it only sold for $2, and still we weathered the storm. Keep up heart o’grace comrades, after the three big seas are past, it is always smoother!

At Jackson’s Arm there is said to be not 5 quintals of fish under salt, all together. Captain Will HOUSE arrived Thursday from Treaty Shore, with 70 barrels. We hear that Mr. Robert HYNES has done poorly, having only about 6 quintals for two traps. PRICES have had a combination of good hauls the first of this week, trapping over 20 barrels every evening.

August 22, 1914	Goodridges NOT Closed	Last week we were informed by what we supposed was a reliable authority, that the firm of Alan GOODRIDGE had closed its doors. We are glad to learn that the statement was entirely incorrect and that the firm is still doing business.

August 29, 1914	First Newspaper Photographs	It is not often the Sun gets a chance to be ahead of the other newspapers, but we believe we lead the van this time in our illustration from the seat of war. No other paper in the country, as far as we know, has yet presented its readers with illustration. The Sun therefore feels special pride in this latest effort to give it’s readers the best, and trusts that they will appreciate what we are doing. [Note that this issue has a photograph, marked “Copyright Underwood & Underwood, N.Y.” captioned “German Soldiers Crossing Pontoon Bridge.” With a note: “ This is the type of bridge which was destroyed by the Liege forts at the beginning of the war, with tremendous loss to Germans.” also two other photo’s with the same copyright note, and captioned, “French Army’s new dirigible giant, and auto trucks used for transporting sky spies.” There is also a “head and shoulder” photo of Naval Commanders Sir John R. JELLICOE, Admiral in Chief of the British Fleet, as well as High Admiral Alfred P.T. Von TIRPITZ, Commander of Germany’s Naval Force. - gw.]
August 29, 1914	Recruits Needed for the War Effort	It is to be regretted that so little patriotic spirit has so far been exhibited here, and no young men in Twillingate, have yet volunteered for the Front. Of course, the man who does not go himself can say little, but short sight, with the accompanying necessity of wearing glasses, prevents us from doing what we really consider our duty. One might die sometime and how can man die better than facing fearful odds? For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods! We humbly ask young men, to whom nature has vouched good sight, sound limbs, and health, to consider well the needs of the Empire.

August 29, 1914	Weekly Budget from St. John’s (Part 2)	Mr. CARPAGE’s house and premises at Bell Island were destroyed by fire a few mornings ago. Nothing was saved, and the insurance effected will only partially cover the loss. This fire was rapidly extinguished when two more were in evidence.
August 29, 1914	Weekly Budget from St. John’s (Part 3)	Last week a young man named NORMAN was before the Magistrate, charged with a breach of the Lottery Act. It appears that NORMAN made up a Sweepstake as the quantity of fish that would be exported this year from Newfoundland. He got persons in Canadian Cities to sell tickets for 20 cents each, promising the winners a $500. prize and the profits to go to the Marine Disasters Fund. The Judge spoke strongly on the enormity and seriousness of the offence, and would have imposed a fine of $200, had not the accused pleaded guilty, so in view of that, fined the prisoner $100 or two months imprisonment.
August 29, 1914	Weekly Budget from St. John’s (Part 4)	It is not often we hear of one home supplying seven hardy sons to shoulder the musket in defense of the Motherland, but it is a fact that from a little place called Frog Marsh, in Brigus, Conception Bay, a proud mother can boast of her seven boys having responded to the call and are now on one of the battleships to do or die for the Empire. Well may Mrs. William FLYNN feel proud of her brave heroes.

August 29, 1914	Nursing Volunteers	Extract from a letter from Nurse Floss SCOTT at the General Hospital says: “Don’t be surprised to hear that I have volunteered to do foreign nursing now, until the war is over. If Nurses are asked for, I shall certainly go!” Nurse PARSONS, daughter of Edward PARSONS, MHA for Harbor Grace, has gamely volunteered for service with the Red Cross at the Front.
August 29, 1914	Sidney Smith Refloated	The leaks in the Sidney Smith have been temporarily stopped and we understand she now floats.

Minister at Loon Bay, and Campbellton, has gone to St. John’s to try and get permission from the President of the Conference, to volunteer for the Front.

September 12, 1914	Letter from Samuel MOORES	Watertown, USA, Sept. 1st, 1914. Editor Twillingate Sun, Dear Sir: I am glad to inform you that we have been getting your paper regularly, every month, and of course we are still interested, for it conveys to us the news from our old home. We get a great deal of news here from the papers, especially the War news. Papers are issued twice a day here. There must be an immense amount of printing done here, for almost every day, man, woman, and child buy papers, and read them going back and forth from work. I see by your paper that there has been many changes already, since we left. I see quite a few have gone to the spirit land, where there is no more sorrow or bloodshed. It seems as though this is going to be an awful year. Of course no one knows what the outcome of this terrible war will be. It seems as though all we can do is pray for peace. So far, of course, America is out of it, for which we are all thankful, but still, prices of different things have gone up. If the war continues very long, it will no doubt mean hard times here. This country has been wonderfully blessed in many ways. It has been a lovely summer here. Crops have been exceedingly good, and there has been plenty of work. I am sorry to hear that things seem to be looking so dark in Newfoundland, but I have no doubt but what some way will open. You will find enclosed my fee for the Sun. Yours respectfully, Samuel MOORE.
September 12, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 1)	The Furness steamer, Manawha, on the voyage from London to this port, picked up a motor boat, about 25 miles off the port.

September 12, 1914	Damage by Lightning	Bolt Strikes Isaac YOUNG’s House. Tuesday, a heavy tho’ short lived electric storm was experienced here. During the progress of the storm, a flash struck Mr. Isaac YOUNG’s house. The current came down the chimney for a few feet, then out into the attic, and continued through a bedroom partition, which it split in two, tearing paper off the walls, and smashing pictures. It also split the partition below, and tore off paper in several places. Mrs. YOUNG was papering upstairs in the room, and the current hurled her across the room and she struck her head in falling. She feels the effect of the shock considerably. Three fuses were burnt out on the telephone line, those at the Telegraph Office, Earle’s and Gillett’s, showing the current was heaviest on the South Island. This is the only thunderstorm which has been at all close to us this season.

September 12, 1914	Herring Neck Patriotic Association	A patriotic meeting was held by W.J. SCOTT, J.P., in the Orange Hall on Sept. 1st. A committee was elected to carry on the movement to help swell the patriotic feeling in Twillingate District. Mr. Isaac MILES was elected Chairman, and Mr. M. SIMMS assistant. F.S.

These women are hard at work getting socks together.
September 12, 1914	Supreme Court Arrives (Part 1)	Cases resulting from Fracas at Chance Harbor Heard. The SS Fiona with the Supreme Court on Circuit, arrived here last Sunday and berthed at the Coastal wharf. On Monday night, a public meeting was held at the Alexandra Hall, at which an interesting exposition of the present “casus belli” and events up to the present time, was given by Judge JOHNSON. Speeches were also made by Lawyers FOX and EMERSON, and Magistrate SCOTT. A vote of thanks was proposed by Mr. W. B. JENNING of Morton’s Harbor, MHA. On Monday, the case of Wm ASHBOURNE vs Bert JONES for assault was heard before Magistrate SCOTT. The assault arose from the taking of a judgment against John JONES of Chance Harbor obtained by Wm. ASHBOURNE some years ago. The Sheriff – C. WHITE – accompanied by Mr. ASHBOURNE, went to Chance Harbor last Wednesday, to sell JONES’ house. ASHBOURNE desired JONES’ sons to sign their hand to pay the father’s debt, which they refused to do, and during an altercation, Bert JONES struck ASHBOURNE, knocking him down, and also knocking down the boy Elmo – Mr. ASHBOURNE’s son – who was present. Evidence was most contradictory and the impression formed was that it was most untruthful. Witnesses CHAULK and JENNINGS evidently declined to tell the whole truth, though they may have told nothing but the truth.
September 12, 1914	Supreme Court Arrives (Part 2)	Judgment was delivered by SCOTT J.P. of one-month imprisonment with hard labor for Bert JONES, W. ASHBOURNE to pay costs amounting to over $20. On Tuesday, the case of Crown vs. JONES for interfering with a Sheriff’s Sale was heard. Judgment was given of one month’s imprisonment, without hard labor, in the St. John’s Penitentiary, this sentence to run concurrently with the other. Some sympathy was expressed for JONES, whose father was paralyzed, and who was upset by the attempted ejection from his home, but his defiance of the Court can call for nothing but the strongest censure, and contempt of Court is a crime that is getting all too prevalent. The Editor regrets that business called him away from home at this time, and he finds it most difficult to piece together the whole story from persons interviewed. He was present at Morton’s Harbor on the day the assault occurred and talked with eye witnesses, but even so, persons differ so in their accounts of seeing the same thing. We think that Mr. ASHBOURNE was ill advised in attempting to turn a paralyzed man out of his house, though his forbearance in not collecting a debt for which he had judgment for some years, stands to his credit, (and not discredit as some seem to think). At the same time, we strongly condemn the action of Mr. JONES in taking the law into his own hands, and consider the whole affair was not at all commendable.

September 12, 1914	Good Fishing at Tilt Cove	Fishery conditions at Tilt Cove and vicinity are very bright at present, and the unusual spectacle of a good trap fishery in September is being witnessed. Mr. W. CUNNINGHAM, who was onboard the Prospero enroute for St. John’s, informs us that one-day he checked off the hauls brought in, and that 201 barrels were landed at Tilt Cove on that day. Shoe Cove and Tilt Cove are the places benefiting at present, but fish is also said to have reached Burying Place. Fishermen from all around the locality are down there fishing. STARKS of Nipper’s Harbor is down there in a large motorboat and has upwards of 200 barrels.
September 12, 1914	Captain CHURCHILL’s Success	We welcome to his old home, Captain John CHURCHILL, who arrived last week in the three master schooner, Success, owned by A.S. RANDELL, with a cargo of salt for J.W. HODGE, Success stands not only for the name of his vessel, but also for Jack’s career, and we wish him a full measure of it, while he floats in it – and afterwards too. Captain CHURCHILL is a native of the Arm, and one of our boys to be proud of, for he has crawled through the hawse pipes, back to the quarter deck, of a very fine vessel of some 240 gross tons. Captain CHURCHILL has some interesting tales to tell, and narrowly escaped being hung up at Hamburg, Germany, as he left there only about two weeks before war broke out, and was in Cadiz when war was declared by England. His wife and family accompanied him here, and they may possibly remain here this winter, with his sister, Mrs. Peter YOUNG. Captain CHURCHILL goes hence to Sydney for coal.
September 12, 1914	Morton's Harbor Mine to Re-open	We have been informed that owing to the sudden rise in price of Antimony from 8 cents to 18 cents, caused by the shortage of supplies from Germany, that the Morton’s Harbor Antimony mine will reopen shortly. We hope this is correct, as the work afforded would be very acceptable just now.
September 12, 1914	Nipper's Harbor Mine	Messrs BLACKLER and BOWERS have a valuable Lead and silver property at Nipper’s Harbor, which they will be shortly taken up by an American concern.
September 12, 1914	Illness	Mrs. Jas. HICKS of Purcell’s Harbor, who has been to the St. Anthony Hospital for treatment, arrived by Prospero in a very low condition.

He is paralyzed from the waist down, and St. Anthony Doctors were unable to help him.

September 28, 1914	Mr. ASHBOURNE Makes Corrections	Mr. ASHBOURNE called us up on the phone on Saturday, after our issue was out, to say that he did not ask Jones’ sons, either directly or indirectly, to sign any document to pay their father’s debt. He states that our informant was entirely incorrect when he informed us that such was the case, and asks us to give his statement publicity. He also informs us that the costs, which fell to him to pay, were $18.80, not $20. as we stated.
September 28, 1914	Shipping News	The Ethel B. Clarke put into port on Sunday evening. Captain Wm. SNOW was in port Monday, lumber laden for St. John’s.

The body was not recovered.
September 28, 1914	Lots of Freight for Newfoundland	“The immense shipments of freight passing through here for Newfoundland, reminds one of the boom days, when the good old steamer, Bruce, worked single handed and [o?e] time to keep up with the rush,” says the North Sydney Herald. “One day last week, upwards of 50 cars of freight was lined up in the yard here and on the terminus wharf, and both steamers were daily taxed to their utmost in carrying the goods to the consignees in the Ancient Colony.” Labrador men are daily arriving with good catches in most cases. Shore men are doing nicely with fish. On the Treaty Shore good fishing is being experienced. Herring are plentiful. There is a big business being done in berries, so altogether, things are not so black as some people would wish one to believe. No doubt there must be economy this winter, as is natural with any nation that is at war. But it is little to us that we must use some slight economy when we think of the thousands in Belgium whose houses are burnt, property destroyed by armies, and their whole country over-run, in a war in which they really had no part. When you think of your own meager trials, remember unfortunate Belgium and rejoice that the Union Jack floats above you – a flag to keep which flying, most of us have done so little.
September 28, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 1)	The ship wrecked crew of BAIRD’s Galatea which was recently lost in the Mediterranean, arrived home per Carthagenian last week.

September 28, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 4)	Another of the Customs Officials, Mr. Alfred VINCENT, has been called to his eternal rest. He has been unwell for some time, but was always at his post as long as he could stand. He was a courteous and efficient officer and always had a cheerful smile and kind word for everyone. His family have our sincere sympathy.
September 28, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 5)	An aged lady of Clifford Street broke her collarbone on Friday last. She was standing on a board, which was resting on the balustrade, and in the act of hanging a piece of paper on the wall. The board gave way, and she was precipated several feet.

These lads and another named FRAMPTON were charged with entering the store owned by Mr. Uriah FREAK at Lewisporte, on the night of the 9th and taking there from a considerable quantity of groceries, tobacco, cigarettes, cigars and candy. They forced an entrance to the place and after securing what they wanted, brought all to a hiding place, to be disposed of later. On the matter being reported to the authorities, Head DAWE was sent, and succeeded in rounding up the culprits. All pleaded guilty to the charge. The elder FRAMPTON was sentenced to six months in the Penitentiary, and GILLIAM four months. Alan FRAMPTON, the youngest of the three was allowed to go on bonds being signed, as he is only 12 years old. The older FRAMPTON is not a stranger to the prison, as he only recently served a term for the larceny of a watch.
September 28, 1914	Local Schooners Reporting	Schooner St. Claire, Captain Jonas CLARKE, arrived at Morton’s Harbor last week with 300 quintals. A schooner belonging to LUSH of Burlington is discharging fish at Kettle Cove where it will be made. Two of the TAYLORS of Morton’s Harbor arrived some time ago, both well fished.

Whether there is anything in this or not, we do not know, but we hope she will turn up safely.

October 3, 1914	German Atrocities	Evidence is accumulating of the barbaric warfare that has been raging in Belgium. It is not by men, but by devils, that the brave people of Belgium have been confronted. …. Yesterday we saw a letter received by Mr. CROWTHER of Ayre & Sons Ltd., and written by his brother from Manchester. Referring to the head of his firm in that city, Mr. CROWTHER’s brother says, “He has a cousin just arrived in Manchester, a Red Cross Nurse. She has both hands cut off. This was done deliberately while attending a woman.” The mutilated nurse says that the outrages on the Belgians have been something terrific. …. If this is Prussian civilization, may the day be hastened when that Kingdom may revert into admitted barbarism. ….. (And yet there are still a few people left who say that this war is nothing to us. Is it nothing to those who call themselves civilized, that German barbarians can maltreat a woman who was attending another woman? Why, if there is a man in Twillingate who can read this without his blood boiling, his proper place is tied as a Prussian conscript in the tail of the Prussian horde of savages. He is unworthy of the name of a Briton! – Ed. SUN.)

Seeing his predicament, driver BANNISTER applied the brakes, which would not work. He then turned the hind wheels towards the fence. The sudden swerve and the crash against the fence caused the car to turn over. Both occupants were pinned beneath. A man saw the accident and hastened to the scene. After some difficulty, he extricated HARVEY, but the driver, who had the whole weight of the car upon him, could not be got out until more help arrived. He was released in an unconscious condition, and upon examination he was found to be internally hurt and was sent to the Hospital for treatment

October 3, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 6)	The L.O.A. is coming in for a great deal of critisism recently. Those of us, who are not in the secrets of the inner circle of the Society, have always looked upon it as more than loyal to the King and Empire, but the question is continually being asked, “What has become of out port Orangemen? What about their boasted loyalty now at this time when every man is called to the flag?” Very few of the out harbor brethren have responded to the call. There was never a time in the history of the Empire, when loyalty was needed more. Your King and country are in danger. Now is the hour for every Orangeman to be true, not only to the King and Empire, but to the flag – the flag of freedom. It is said that seven eighths of the people of the North are not loyal to King George, but are inclined to throw in their sympathy on the side of the Germans. Surely such is not the case, and the writer cannot believe that there is an Orangeman worthy of the name in Nfld. today, who would be guilty of the like!

October 10, 1914	British Troops Need Comforts	London, Sept. 22nd.

Bishop & Sons store was entered from the rear of the building, and a fellow named FINNY began to make a clean up of everything he came across. He threw out 15 bundles of axes and 3 rolls of felt, which he thought he had better get rid of before risking any more, so he came down and carried off a load of the axes to sell them, but he had been watched by one of the employees, and Constable TOBIN quickly pounced upon him and placed him behind the bars.

October 10, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 4)	One of the saddest cases of drowning to come under our notice was that of the Master of BAIRD’s Barqt. Gaspe, Captain Mike CONNORS.

The Captain was standing near the peak halyards when they ran out, and twisted about his legs, throwing him overboard. Every effort was made by the crew to rescue the drowning sailor, but it was not to be, and one of the best known and most popular Masters met a sailor’s death, almost within sight of the home port and loved ones he had just left. Deep sympathy is felt for the widow and children.

October 10, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 7)	The Holding of the SS Florizel in port for so long, was at last set at rest when it became known that she was to convey our Boys across the Atlantic. Saturday will be a day, long to be remembered in the annals of the ancient Colony. Practically every one who could get out did so, and the streets from Pleasantville to the Furness Whitby Pier, were covered with people to bid good-bye to our gallant sons. ….. On arrival at the pier, the authorities had quite a job to get the Contingent onboard, so great was the press, but after all had safely embarked, the troop ship hauled off and anchored in the stream until 10 o’clock Sunday night, when the Florizel weighed anchor, and steamed majestically out the Narrows, conveying the 1st. Newfoundland Regiment to fight for the King and Country. The R.N. Co. and Messrs Ayre & Sons, sent a gift of 40 barrels of apples on board the Florizel, shortly before sailing.

October 17, 1914	Baie Verte Notes	“Things are looking very bright, in fact it is one of the brightest spots North. The mine is still working and proving satisfactory, and the war and bad fishery seem to have little effect here. A large ore steamer is expected by latter part of October. I do not know if you heard that Mrs. Wm. JACKMAN died early in September? She was taken to St. John’s for burial. Her death was caused by cancer. One of the heaviest wind and rainstorms swept the Treaty Shore on Sept. 26th and 27th but no heavy losses were sustained, with the exception of small boats and nets. It was followed by a fall of snow, which at Jackson’s Arm was about 3 inches deep. Deer shooting has not been so successful as usual this fall. It seems as if the great rush mad on the fox farther South, is driving them this way, as they are very plentiful. A few weeks ago, two boys, one at Seal Cove and another at Wild Cove, set rabbit slips. One of them got a great surprise when he found a black fox in his slip one morning, while the other lad captured a silver in the same way. Unfortunately they were both poorly furred. The fishery in White Bay has been almost a total failure, and people are grasping at the chance to cut pit props. One firm will cut 1600 cord. Rev. R.C. WHITE intends to visit his home at Twillingate shortly."
October 17, 1914	Personal Items	Magistrate Scott went as far as Exploits last week on business. Mr. Wm. ASHBOURNE was passenger to St. John’s last week.

Mrs. Sid COOK and children, left Saturday for Bay of Islands where Mr. COOK is working, and will make their home there. Mr. John W. FROUD has gone to Little Burnt Bay for the winter. Mr. Fred SCOTT also sends a post card from Moose Jaw. They spent a few days at New York and Chicago.
October 17, 1914	Illness	Captain James JANES who developed pneumonia since his return from Labrador, has been very ill the past week. Mr. George HODDER Sr., who has been sick in the General Hospital at St. John’s for some weeks, arrived by the Clyde Sunday, accompanied by two sons, George Jr., and Walter. The latter is a flourishing ship’s chandler in Boston and we welcome him to his hometown again. Mrs. PRICE of Back Harbor was very ill on Thursday.
October 17, 1914	Pit Props at Norris Arm	Mr. M.E. MARTIN for J.J. MURPHY has about 90 men cutting pit props at Norris Arm. These are for shipment this fall, and will be taken to Lewisporte and put onboard steamer there. Wages, we understand, are $3.50 a cord for green spruce and fir and $2.50 for dry. These pit props are roughly about the size of firewood and run from 2 ½ to 7 inches in the top, 8 to 9 feet long, and must be barked. A cord is 4 feet by 4 feet, which will average somewhere, near 100 sticks. As two men can easily put out a cord a day, this would figure out about $1.75 per day, which is good pay.
October 17, 1914	Bait Plentiful	Squids are plentiful at Lewisporte Sunday morning, and could be seen squirting all over the place.
October 17, 1914	Pendragon Feared Lost	The schooner Pendragon, Captain H. EVANS and crew, Northern Arm, is generally given up for lost. The others at Northern Arm are now all home, and no word has been heard of the Pendragon for the whole summer. The motorboat picked up on the Treaty Shore is established as hers. Various theories are entertained as to her loss. Some think she must have been struck by a liner coming out of the Straits. Others think that more likely she struck a growler and sank rapidly, as she was old and was fitted with concrete bottom, which would carry her down quickly. The fact that the motorboat picked up had slings around her, as though being hoisted out seems to lend truth to this theory. Mrs. Harold BAIRD of this town has a brother among the crew.
October 17, 1914	Botwood Alive	Botwood is fairly alive as usual. Trains are running continually and there were three steamers there last week. Paper shipments will be continued all the Fall, and it is said the A.N.D. Co. propose to ship via St. John’s, during the Winter. A small schooner owned by SIMMONS arrived last week well fished. Botwood’s contribution to the Patriotic Fund has already exceeded the $1000 mark, and it is expected to go much higher. Botwood people are not only ready to sing “God save the King”, but also to show their patriotism in practical form. Mr. P.D. PARK, who has been to White Bay on his motor boat Uranus, met with an accident to the machinery, and is returning under sail. The Juniper was waiting for them at Exploits Sunday. Mr. PARK has a contract for pit props in White Bay, and we understand, will require a number of men.
October 17, 1914	Lots of Work Available	The A.N.D. Co. and Reed Co. are not yet supplied with lumbermen. We understand that the Reid Nfld Co. has a contract for several hundred thousand cords, and will need upwards of 2000 men this winter. We hear the Horwood Lumber Co. at Campbellton and Dog Bay, have also secured contracts for pit props.
October 17, 1914	Train Derailed	Owing to a run off at Bay St. George Saturday, the East bound express was 12 hours late, which hung up the Clyde ‘till dinnertime Sunday.

October 17, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 4)	On Friday afternoon, Cabman McDONALD had a narrow escape from serious injury. He was driving down Prescott Street when the steamroller operating there, frightened the horse. The animal came down the hill at a terrific rate, and crossed Water Street, striking an iron rail at Parson’s Corner, and was instantly killed. McDONALD was thrown over the rail but miraculously escaped, but the Victoria was considerably damaged. McDONALD will stand to loose over $200 by the unfortunate [?]
October 17, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 5)	Job’s SS Beothic sailed on Saturday night for the Mediterranean, taking one of the largest cargoes of fish that ever left this port, viz, 27,000 quintals shipped by several of the Mercantile firms.
October 17, 1914	Death of Garfield MOORS	The Sun extends its sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Jacob MOORES in the sudden blow which came to them on Wednesday night when they received news of the death of their son Garfield, in a train wreck near Kamloops, B.C. War brings death, but so, often does peace, and while “in the midst of life we are in death,” it came to them with shocking suddenness. Without noise of loud weeping, the family bears the awful blow, but the sorrow is none the less felt, because borne patiently and calmly. Their bearing is a lesson to us all. May times healing efface the scars. Garfield MOORS left here about six years ago and was rapidly making a name for himself with his employer, the Northern Development Co. He would have been 30 next April and was planning a visit home shortly. No particulars have been received by the family, except a message from the Company with whom he worked, saying that he was killed in a train wreck near Kamloops on Thursday, the 12th. His brother Willis who was at New Westminster, left immediately for the scene, and is taking the body to Vancouver for internment.
October 17, 1914	Marriage	Writing from Melrose, Mass., our old friend Doyle BARRETT says: “Jim HODDER, biggest individual property holder in Somerville, was married a few days ago. Pleased to hear of the bravery and patriotism of some of Twillingate’s boys in offering themselves to the mother country. Am resting at Sanitarium here for few weeks. Beautiful weather past six weeks. General depression in business. War feeling here, very favorable to England.”
October 17, 1914	Wrecked Crews Return	A large number of fishermen were on board the Prospero Thursday, returning to their homes. They were four wrecked crews of vessels, which were lost on Bell Island. These include the O.K.M. belonging to MANUEL’s at Exploits, and a schooner owned by Captain A. YATES of New Bay. GLAVINE’s also lost all their fish, but fortunately, left their schooner in Harbor on the mainland, as they had gone off to the island with Manuel’s crew.
October 17, 1914	Advertisement	Picked up off Crow Head on Sept. 30th, one herring net, apply to Alfred MUDFORD, Crow Head.

October 17, 1914	Captain CHURCHILL to the Fore	Captain Jack CHURCHILL was able to do a good act the other day. While on his way to Sydney from here, he ran across a little 14-ton craft, bound for Bay of Islands for Halifax, [exactly as written!] 200 miles out of his course, and for 9 days without food, and with compass broken and jolly boat washed away. Although a stout sea was running, Jack manned a boat himself, and succeeded in placing a compass and food and water enough for some days, on board the little craft, after trying in vain to persuade him to abandon his little ship, and board the Success. There were only the Skipper and a boy and two cats on board the little craft, which it is to be hoped, reached home safely. Captain Jack deserves much praise for his humanity.

October 31, 1914	Newfoundland Volunteers (Part 1)	Below we give the names and Regiment Numbers of volunteers from the District. Twillingate names are printed in black type. The form of address in writing to these lads will be found elsewhere. Postcards are always a handy form when only short messages are desired, and pass the censor much more easily than letters. We think that lots of us might send our boys a postcard to let them know that we do not forget them. It seems likely, judging from the latest news, that our boys may go to Egypt to mount guard on the Suez Canal, which is a very important waterway for Britain, controlling easy access to India, and more than likely, one of the places on which Germany may attempt an attack. 458 – ARNOTT, Walter Joseph, Seldom. 227 – BATSTONE, Oswald K., Grand Falls. 241 – BIXBY, Sampson, Indian Islands, Fogo. 448 – BLACKHALL, Herbert, Grand Falls. 537 – BRETT, Jonathan, Fogo, (Widow’s son). 444- COLBOURNE, Fred A., Grand Falls. 328 – DAWE, Joseph, Twillingate.

October 31, 1914	Two Young Men Drowned	Mr. Edwin ROBERTS of Wild Cove received a telegram on Wednesday notifying him that two nephews, sons of Mr. Mark ROBERTS, had been drowned at Farmer’s Arm last Saturday. As far as we can learn, those young men who had both been to the Labrador this summer were going up to see their father and family. The accident occurred on Saturday, but was not known until this week. One of the bodies was recovered inside of Hatchet Neck, and the boat was also picked up. How it occurred, no one knows.

November 7, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 1)	Tuesday of last week, Hung WEE, a Chinaman, was convicted of stealing $30 in cash, a $16 suit of clothes, and a watch, valued at $12. the property of Kong LEE, and a $5 overcoat from Goon LEE. Hung was engaged in the laundry on Theatre Hill. The Judge imposed a fine of $50 or 2 months, or a total of $100 or 4 months. The fine was not paid so the Celestial was sent to the Pen.
November 7, 1914	Weekly Budget From St. John’s (Part 2)	The sympathy of the whole community has gone out to Mr. and Mrs. R. JOYCE in the loss of their 3-year-old boy. The little fellow was in the kitchen at the time, and a basin of boiling water, which had been a moment before, removed from the stove, was on the floor. The unfortunate child fell backwards into the basin and he was so terribly scalded, that Doctor ROBERTS could not save the child’s life.

November 7, 1914	Double Drowning	Farther particulars regarding accident to the Roberts Boys. From men who came from Comfort Cove this week, we learn some farther particulars regarding the sad accident, which we chronicled last week. It seems the young men had a boat, which formerly belonged to Mr. Ben SMITH, and were last seen going out the Arm with two sails set. But when the boat was picked up on Monday, all sail was set on her. The body of the youngest man which was found was picked up in three feet of water, and the ballast in the boat had shifted, while the mainsheet was jammed and half cut through. It is supposed that a squall of wind hove the boat over, and before the sheet could be let go or cut, another completed the work.
November 7, 1914	How Garfield MOORES was Killed	Mr. Jacob MOORES’ family received some particulars of the sad accident when Garfield lost his life. It appears that the young man was standing on the platform of a car or caboose, owned by the Bridge Company for which he was working, and apparently the only one attached to the engine. Some distance outside Kamloops, a cow on the track was struck by the engine, and the car on which Mr. Garfield MOORS was standing, left the track. The young man was hurled from the platform, and picked up, dead. Had he been inside the car, he would probably have been unhurt. Garfield had obtained much success with the concern with which he was working, and was on his way to Kamloops to fix up some business, when the accident occurred.
November 7, 1914	Shipping News	The Three masted schooner, Success, Captain CHURCHILL, arrived on Wednesday to J.W. HODGE with a load of coal. Messrs GLAVINE of Fortune Harbor have been discharging fish at Earle Sons & Co., and left for home Thursday. Captain Andrew ROBERTS left Thursday morning for St. John’s, taking fish from Messrs. Isaac YOUNG, D. WHEELOR, J. KNIGHT.
November 7, 1914	Illness	Captain JANES, who has been suffering from a gathering in his head, was very sick this week. We regret to hear the genial skipper has been so afflicted.
November 7, 1914	Personal	Miss N. GRAY, who was here on a visit, returned to Botwood Monday.
November 7, 1914	New Policeman	A new Policeman for duty here is due by Prospero – Const. TULK of St. John’s.
November 7, 1914	Captain Wm. SNOW	What a lesson in practical patriotism Captain William SNOW has taught us. Many men would have considered that giving their only son to fight for their country was patriotism enough. But Captain SNOW’s generous contribution to the Patriotic Fund, shows that he does not think he can do too much. Thank Heaven for such men as Captain Wm. SNOW. It is upon foundations such as he, that our Empire is built.
November 7, 1914	Double Drowning at Herring Neck	Through the courtesy of Mr. George BLANDFORD, we are enabled to give the following information re drowning at Herring Neck. Writing on Nov. 6th, Mr. LOCKYER says, “I have just heard of a very sad accident which happened last night or yesterday evening. Elias CASSEL Jr., Joseph CASSEL, and John RICHMOND, left yesterday to go to Milner’s Arm for a skiff load of wood. While Thos. CUTLER of Cobb’s Arm was out gunning this morning, he saw a skiff ashore on Boyd’s Island, and rowed over to see what it was. The skiff was full of water and Joseph CASSEL was lying dead in the bottom, evidently drowned. Looking along the shore, he saw Elias CASSEL, lying against a rock, unconscious. Farther along the shore, he found Joseph RICHMOND, dead in a bunch of trees. We are unable yet to get any information from Elias CASSEL. Who I hardly expect, will recover. It is supposed they ran over a breaker, capsizing the boat, as she had nothing in her but a sculling oar when found. It snowed all that night. They had Elias CASSEL’s trap skiff.

On the Sunday previous to his death, he appeared in good health, and was at his accustomed place in the Kirk in the morning. In the evening, he was suddenly taken with violent pains, and the family Physician was called who pronounced his condition serious. Next day, after a consultation, an operation was decided upon, which proved ineffectual.

December 24, 1914	Sagona Fire	Monday Dec. 14th. At an early hour this morning, a serious fire occurred on board Crosby & Co. steamer Sagona, with fatal results, the Chief Stewart Patrick COADY being burned to death. The damage to the steamer is extensive as her dining room was charred, much furniture was burned to a crisp, and many of the staterooms and music room and their equipment were spoiled by smoke and water. An estimate of the damage has not yet been made, but it is thought it will cost in the neighborhood of $2000. The fire being extinguished, the firemen, with Hon. J.C. CROSBY, owner of the ship, and others, were making an investigation as to the likely causes, when they found the form of Chief Steward COADY, lying on the floor of his room, just to the right of the Saloon entrance nearest the pier. When the body was found, it was lying across the floor of the room. The right hip was badly burned, but other parts of the body were not scorched. The bed clothing and other contents of the room were completely destroyed. The opinion is that Mr. COADY was suffocated before he could make any effort to save his life. [A second item which also describes this fire also says the following]: It is surmised that the unfortunate man must have fallen asleep smoking a cigarette, hence the cause of the fire.

While on duty at Lavington Station, I held up two chaps to see if they had a pass, and while one of them was showing me his, he asked me what part of Nfld I belonged.
