around.
“The destroyer came up lirst. <»l

guided by wireless instructions, her
guns were trained in readiness to

to the impatient crew before the
trawlers arrived, hut things moved
rapidly once they were at the scene

old.
‘‘Working in pairs, they approached
their victim from opposite directions,
steaming toward each other. Between
each pair a strong ‘sweep’ was
stretched and allowed to hang in a
huge loop that it might traverse the.
'sea bed The vessels met and crossed

above the doomed craft. The 'sweeps'

STOCKED WITH REINDEER
ST. JOHN'S, N. K, \ug. Id After
twelve years of experimenting in the
raising of Lapland reindeer in in rth
ern New foandland. Hr. Wilfred T.
(irenfell. tin- Labrador medical mis
sionary. lias derided to transfer bis
lord to Canadian Labrador. An ef
fort will be made there to introdnec a
strain of native caribou blood into the
herd, which has deteriorated through
years of inbreeding. Territory west
111 Hell Isle strait, ill Canadian l abra
dor. has been selected for the new
enterprise.
Hr. (Irenfell lias long held the the
ory that the caribou might be inbred
with reindeer to produce a highly ef
ficient draft animal, suitable for use
along the north coast, lie was utt
able to give this theory a thorough
test in Newfoundland. The country
selected as the new home of the rein
deer is remote from settled areas and
considered well suited for the purpose.
ID acre* merit wph the government of I ■
the province of Quebec increases in y
the herd may he shipped hack to N< w- '
feundland if the owner desires. jCt
The (Irenfell herd ((insists of Jon |
animals, virtually the same number
landed by the missionary twelve years j
Ago at Si Anthony, when lx intro )
j diiced the reindeer to this province. ■
i At one rime tlx- herd numbered I.l'ooJj
j hut it decreased as it deteriorated ;
;fiorn lack of new blood. Dr. (irenfell.
; who is now in the North eountry on
11: i.- sionar. work, expects that a gov |
eminent steamer will transport tlx :
deer to their new feeding ground- this
summer.
