Special Dispatch to The Star
MATT1CE. Ont. January 13.--1ieut.
Stephen A. Farrell and Lieut.. Walter
Hinton appeared to be the best of
friends today.
The night, Il angry words and a blow
'can be called fight. was q dramatic
climax In theatrio setting. The men
themselves had Just completed their
2e0-miie trek from Moose Factory, on
James bay, they were in log cabin
when the blow was struck Outside
touched with snow, stretched the un.
ending forest in which they, with
Lieut.. l. A. kioor. so nearly lost their
lives.
The blow itself was q distressing
thing. 1t was not done with venom.
It was not done with hate. 1t was done
IN q moment when nerves that had
been stretched to the breaking point
actually did break. And that breaking
was not due to the crisis Of danger,
but to the reaction that came with
rescue.
