by the Queen Mother to the Brit- ish Government to assist it in its struggle to balance its sterling ex- ports with its dollar imports.

The carpet measures 10 feet 2 inches by 6 feet on inches and contains about I million stitches The designs on the twelve panels were adapted, on Queen Maryis instructions, by the Royal school of Needlework from lath century originals at London's Victoria and Albert Museum and elsewhere. The colours reflect Her Majesty's personal choice, though restricted as regards the backgrounds by the shortages which arose during the war. The carpet was begun in 1941 by the Queen. and she worked on it for about nine years while the free nations moved from defeat to victory.

Four fishermen reached shore safely through pounding seas near East Point early Sunday morning. The boat. a 55foot fishing ves- sel named the "Lentami" was A total loss as was its cargo of Hill fish. The "Lentana" was owned by her skipper, Marc Chiasson of Caraquei, N. B, and was manned by three other Caraquet men. all unmarried, Medard Hache. Lud-I ovlc Doiron and Emilie Doiron. She had been fishing out of the Magdaienes for about a month. coming in to Sauris on Sundays. They had expected to Continue for about another two Weeks. 0" this occasion they left the Mag- dalenes for Sourls on Friday night. There had been some trouble with water entering the engine pack- ing but it was not serious. I While they were still ten miles 1 off East Point light a stronz southwesterly wind rose. The sea was soon whipped lnio a fury and when they altered course after rounding the point is heavy sea struck the boat. it apparently started a plank. and the vessel began to fill. The engine gave up and the skipper tried to run her ashore under sail. She struck a bar and the crew were forced to make the last 54) feet by dory through the breakers. The-y landed at South Lake at 2 am. Sunday about 3 1-2 miles south of thePoint and about 1-4 mile 4rom the wreck of the destroyer "Assinlboine" They walk- ed to the lighthouse, where they stayed the night and in the morn- ing Mr. W. S. Maclntyre. keeper of the light, drove them to Souris There they found a boat owned by the skipper's cousin. They went out in that boat to try and save the cargo of fish but could not get within a 1-4 mile of the wreck. Even in a dory theywere able to approach only to within 20 yards. The boat was breaking up rapidly and they gave her up as a dead loss. Boat, gear and fish were worth some H.000 and were not covered by insurance. .Medard Hache stayed aboard the second boat.
