Mr. Borland had-a small outboard motor which he fastened to the stern of the boat and the father and son were going for a short cruise. At the last moment Mr. Borland invited the four boys who had gathered around to see what was going on. He told them he would take them for a ride.

"We all got in the Gilbert' Simser told The Journal "The water came up to- within about two Inches of the gunwales. When we moved out into the middle of the canal, Mr. Borland started the motor and as soon as he did, the water began to pour in over the stern.

Mrs. Frank Marshall, of 318 Bay street Although they did not see the actual upsetting of the boat Mrs. Marshall and her daughter were driving along the Driveway when they noticed the boys in the water in midstream.

Three of the boys, William Card, Brian Pye and Gilbert Simser, were taken to the home ol John Gleeson, 7 Delaware, where they were given stimulants and warm clothing before being driven in the fire car to their respective homes. I Mr. Gleeson had been attracted to the scene by the noise and shouting and offered the shelter of his home which was only a short distance away. Billy Card, suffered slightly from shock in his experience and was put to bed by his parents when he reached home.

8wam to Shore. "I remembered what my father always told me to be hung on to the boat and then I took off my shoes. Then I swam to the shore where somebody helped me out I was all out of breath." r' The father and son were taken to hospital, in Roger's ambulance Little hope was held out for the recovery of the child because doctors at the scene, Dr. F. McKinnon and Dr.

J. C. Humphreys, could find 'no sign of life after the lengthy use of the ln halator. The father was revived about IS minutes after he was pulled from the water, but he breathed with difficulty and suffered greatly from shock. Constables Walter Hudson and Clifford Meunler investigated.

Crowds of spectators gathered and the Driveway was blocked to traffic for some time.
