The day dragged on in miserys Acad about four in the afternoon we began to think about the even- oing meal. Two or three optimists had a little ten, and resolved to risk another brow of the water that had given us all dysentery. "Well, boys," sald Peary, "T away and get some water," and he waded off down the trench.
In about three minutes we were stunned by the
message, passed back that he had been killed. Had we received word that every- thing was finished, that we were beaten, even disgraced and dis- honoured in defeat, I do not think we could have been

PASSING OF PEARSON How Great Watsonian Footballer Was Killed.
J. H. writes in the Evening Dispatch (Edinburgh) of March
1:-
It was announced a few days ago that a number of bodies of British soldiers had been dis- covered by the War Graves Com- mission in Sanctuary Wood, in the Ypres salient. Among those was the body of Jimmy Pearson, the famous Watsonian and Scot- tish Rugby Internationalist, who was killed in 1916 while serving with the 9th Royal Scots, the Dandy Ninth.
A comrade, who
was with Pearson when the latter was killed, sends us this description of that lamentable event:-
On this wet morning we lean- ed against the greasy, wet wall of an old disused dugout some thirty yards behind the front line, and talked Rugger.
more pro-
foundly moved. War plucking a posy for his mistress, Death, had had his icy hand on our flower. Nothing cold mold our loss. Its irreparable nature stunned us, but slowly as the torpor of grief, more poignant because of fis re-
Miss Majorie Cox and her flance. Mr. Jack Crawford, both of New South
Wales, will probably represent their country in the next Davis Cup tennis series.
Miss Cox won the women's singles championship at Victoria for two years in succession, while Craw- ford did the same thing in the men's singles class.
pression, began to lift away back amongst the ancient strains of the blood of our savage ancestry stirred the promptings of a new. ⚫discovered emotion. Undreamed of, passions, dormant for centuries perhaps, burned their way into and twisted their talons amongst the vitals of our very souls..
Normally, it was hard to get P. to talk Rugger, but this day the husky, pawky voice told many yarns of Rugger rruggles, Iriumphs and losses, out of his rich experience and knowledge. Tour games, 'Sonian club matches, player's past and present, theories of play--but presently into the midst of our blether there allther ed a regular soldier, like us, bent on stretching his lege, and imme- diately Peary engaged him fa conversation. With that unutter- ably aweet smile of kindliness, he drew him out to talk of his wife and kids in Leicester, his experi- ences, his motions about the war, and finally presented him on part-. ing with four packets of cigarettes. I had often wondered why P. always took his ration of cigarettes, for he was generally well supplied with his own, "Aye," he said to me, "I always like to give these poor devils a fag. Ye know, Cheery, they're not so well off as us. A wife and three bairns, did he say?"
Slowly awakening, but yet not less strong for that, hate was born, and passing powerfully in rlot through our velns, pulsed and leapt until all was lost in a pas sionate desire to avenge. By com- mon consent we reached for our rifles, and as we lay over the parapet in broad daylight, heed- less of bullets or all the Infernal powers themselves, we poured our fire on the German trenches and prayed in husky whispers for ven- geance.
