JOURNAL
A man took her (Annie Murley), Elizabeth Robertson and another girl, whose name she did not know because she had only been a week in the Home, away in an automobile. He took them to a boat and she (Annie Murley) was put in the boat and taken to a hospital, but the other two stayed in the automobile because they were not hurt. Elizabeth had a dirty face, but was not hurt. "Itwas a man, not a soldier, and he had a big heavy overcoat - not a fur coat, but an overcoat."
Annie Murley was taken to the Nova Scotia Hospital for treatment, so "the boat" was evidently the Dartmouth ferry.
Is there any owner or driver of a motor car who remembers taking those three children in his car that day, leaving one on the ferry boat? If so, will he communicate at once with this paper and report where he took the other two children?
At that time all the cars in use were local cars, so somebody belonging in Halifax took charge of those little girls. The child who went to hospital is located, but where are the others? Were they sent out of town later on? It is a case that calls for help. Who could fail to give it?
