I Page58 VOX COLLEGII JUH61935 anxious heart he stood before the colonel. He was handed a very military- looking paper and he heard the colonel saying: We are aware of your intense desire to remain at military college and we also know of your laborious efforts in the gymnasium to overcome your deficiency. However, we are very sorry to have to give you this paper. It is your honourable dismissal from the college, effective September the first. In those few words the colonel had shattered Harry's life-long hope of becoming an army officer. He started to trudge slowly back to the barracks but he changed his mind and strolled eastward toward the harbour. A thous- and images of his short army life passed before his mind. As he started to turn back, an object on the water caught his eye. A young girl, alone in a canoe, was lazily drifting along. Suddenly the stillness was shattered by a long deep whistle. One of the large grain boats of the Canada Steamship Lines ploughed its way past her. As it passed, the huge swells capsized the canoe and threw the girl into the churning water. Harry could swim but not very well, nevertheless when he saw the struggling girl, he tore off his coat and shoes and struck out for the overturned canoe. When he reached it he was nearly exhausted himself, but he started out for shore with the girl in tow. Halfway to shore he felt,a sense of sheer ex- haustion. Both floundered and went down. A motor launch operated by the college soon reached the scene. The girl was picked up at once, but a man had to dive several times before Harry's limp body was recovered. At the pier a doctor and several attendants set to work to revive the two. Harry Clarke opened his eyes slowly, but he immediately shut them again. He had been dreaming that he was an officer in the army and that he had just scolded a lanky youth for being too tall. As consciousness returned, he became aware of a big white room, everything white except a big brown image standing at his side. As his mind cleared he recognized the colonel in charge of the college. Colonel Johnson, the cadet asked softly, where am I? At the Royal Military College, my boy, said the colonel beamingly, with four years ahead of you, in which to learn to swim. It was my daughter you saved, and I have found a way to keep you here. Your discharge has been cancelled, your height put out of consideration and you are now a full- fledged member of our school. You've won your right against heavy odds to wear the cadet khaki. 11 Harry almost leaped out of bed for joy.
