nuns who escaped. 1.-The panes
blew out. The window frames,
made of wood. splintered, and
the next second there was fire

-Four of the nuns who escaped
were injured.
Sister Marie Emond, assistant
general of the order, said there
were IS persons in the convent.
Eleven nuns. ranging in age
from 81 to n. were given up as
dead.
The bodies of three nuns and
the priest had been recovered
from the smouldering debris
early today. The Royal Canadian
AIR Force detailed 100 men to a
quest for the others. The airmen
tackled the job of removing the
rubble largely by hand.

The Air Force disclosed the
CF-100 had been ordered up to
identify a mysterious transport
from the Arctic on which it had
not received flight plan. The
fighters crew ascertained the
transport was a Royal Canadian

Montreal.

the transports flight plan had
been filed, but that it was de-
