stroyers which we turned over to
England, arrived at Halifax. The

Tuesday night a fire was built
in the Wright home and hundreds
of the tiny sweeps fell into the
flames and were destroyed. It
was estimated that over a bushel
basket of the birds were killed.
One however, that was not
killed by the heat had a small
metal band on its leg. The bird
was brought to the News office
where the band was removed.
Inscribed on the inner side of
the band were the words, “Notify

the front side were the numbers
