Western Mail Saturday April 17 1926. Six thousand emigrants are leaving the British Isles for Canada during the next few days, and there will be a race across the Atlantic between several liners to be first to open the St. Lawrence season, Quebec and Montreal now being available for disembarkation. On Friday the Cunarders Aurania, from Liverpool, Ansonia, from Southampton, the White Star liner Doric, from Liverpool, and the Canadian Pacific Liner Montnairn, from Glasgow, were the first away, to be followed by the Montrose today (Saturday) and the White Star liner Arabic from Southampton on Monday. Most of the emigrants are travelling under the three pound scheme and include many hundreds of families. One typical family was that of William MARSH, a collier, of South Wales, and formerly of Durham, whose six children included four sturdy boys, the eldest, aged sixteen, having worked in a coal mine. They are going to Alberta and the total cost of transportation, including railway fare, was £19.10s. Under the ordinary third class fare would have been £173. Another collier from Swansea, G. JONES, was taking out his seven children including six boys. L.H. COOK, of 4, Mackworth-road, Porthcawl, was killed at Newlands Colliery, Pyle, by a runaway tram early on Friday morning. Mr. Thomas LEAN, overseer at Barry Dock Post-office, expired suddenly on Friday from a heart attack. Mr. LEAN, who was 55 years of age, leaves a widow and one child. A tragic sequel to a little boy's game of "King of the Castle" was related at the inquest at Newport on Friday on Thomas Charles WHITE, aged seven, whose parents live at the Royal Oak, Llanhilleth, and who died in the Royal Gwent Hospital on April 15. The evidence showed that a number of small boys were playing "King of the Castle" in the playground of Llanhilleth School on what was described as a "parapart" eighteen inches high. In the course of the game the child WHITE was pushed over. When he got up he was screaming and a master discovered that a flat-headed boot stud was embedded in his head.The boy was taken to a surgery and the stud was extracted, but death occurred as the result of complications. A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence was returned. John Patrick
