Scoring two goals in every period and playing under wraps for a great part of the game Abegweite were successful in turning back the LaSalle-Hull pucksters from Ottawa last night 6 to 2 in a game that brlstled with action in spots and again lulled to almost a standstill.

The Upper Canadians are a like- ly looking lot of puckmen who play clean hockey all the while, are fair stick-handlers but their exhibition of shooting on the net was sad to behold. A few of the forwards man- Blcd to trickle through the Red Shirt defence, but actually shot ten feet wide of Bubar in the local cit- adel. Their skating too did not by any moans measure up to the O'Connor clan who seemed to roam at will and back-check plays that at times left them flat-footed behind the blue line. All in all much more was expected from the Ottawa boys. However, it may be said that the visitors, fresh from a long jour- ney were hardly in condition to give of their best, but even if they. wm to remain here a week, there isn't a doubt in the world thlli-

Further details of the drowning

on Dec. 3i, of lvlr. Edmund Perry are given in the following despatch .rcm Shedlac:

Edmund Pe.ry, aged 22 and “n- married, son of Joseph Perry, of Allrerton, P.E.I., was drowned 3f, con today in Snedlac Bay about one mile and a m1: north of Shed- iflc Wharf. and two others, Maurice Perry and James Mlcwheeney, frst sour ins of the deceased, both of Al- berton, were saved by the lleroiml wf Wilfred Petltpas, and Red Gal- Iant and Harold Petitpas, Pt. du‘ Cherie, Edward Pellerln and Dcm- inique Fougere, both o.‘ Silediac All are smelt fishermen. The Albumin trio have come to Point du Chene each year to fish smelts. The A1;- berton fisherman left Point du' Cherie shortly before noon to at- 56hr: nets which had been set near Little Shediac Island and about a mile from the Sheclizic Cape sho e Suddenly all three went through the rapidly softening ice, during a streaming incoming tide, nto five feet of water. At the time nobody was nearer than three nun-tors oi‘ a mile. Edmund Perry went to the

bottom and the others managed to, hold on to the thin ice and called for aid. '

'I'i:e first fisherman to reach the, scene was Gallant. He called for] others. Wilfred Petltpas ran over the ‘ce a half mile distant to get a rope at a net. The rope was thrown and for a time all three men in the water had a hold of the rope which broke twice. After repeated attempts the Gallant rescuers in danger of their own lives by winding the cord about their bodies. hauled McWhee- ney and Maurice Perry to safety. Maurice Perry was able to wnd part of rope about one hand When Wilfred Petitpas pushed a ‘ hand sled toward him, the hooked an arm llnder the sled rullncr and was hauled to safety. The others pulled McWheeney to firm ice. At one. time Edmund Perry had the r0136 wrapped about an arm but the cord broke just as the unfortunate man was about to be dragged to safety,

The body was recovered by Har-y old Petitpas and Edward Pelleriri by means of a boat which they pfor cured at Shediac Cape. The body was brought to lighthouse tender Joseph Goguen's home at the Shed- lac town shore where Dr. Alphonse Sormany pronounced l'fe extinct. The rescued men were brought to Wilfred Petitpas’ home and reviv- ed by Dr. D. R. MacDonald. They were able to be about town later. Great credit is accorded to the gal- lant fishermen who saved the twb lives.

Edmund Perry's body, aiicr being embalmed by Funeral Director Bev- erin Richard. was taken to the home of his aunt. Mrs. Agnes Skerry Point du Chene. thence to Alberton on Monday. N: inquest was hold.
