Here our wounded were pouring in.

Once again Canada was reddening the soil of the Salient with her best blood.

It was indeed an anxious time.

That evening, however, a telegram was received by the O.C.of the Ambulance saying that the British fleet had sunk twenty or thirty German vessels, and implying that what we had thought was a naval reverse was really a magnificent naval victory.

I do not know who sent the telegram, or on what foundation in fact it was based.
