Bidding Mix-up Nets High Price For Burns Relic LONDON @-—Sprited bidding for an old scrap of paper bearing the original draft of “Auld Lang Syne,” was brought to a sudden halt at £1,50 by the whisper of a stranger in Sotheby’s London sales rooms. Only. two men were left bid- ding for the torn manuscript on which in 1788 Scotland’s great bard, Robert Burns, scribbled his rough notes. The men had never met before and as the price mounted under ‘| their competitive bidding, tthey were unaware that both were trying to purchase the manu- script for the same purpose. STRANGER’S TIP é for cod, but returned with a giant turtle—believed the larg- est ever taken in Nova Scotian waters. Slaunwhite, a fisherman for 30 years, hurled a harpoon into a “strange abject” four miles offshore. The water boiled, the harpoon line tightened and the cbject revealed itself as an en- raged 300-pound turtle. Other fishermen came to the aid of Slaunwhite after the tur- reptile, and it was dragged ashore by two boats. Landed, it measured six feet Capt. Charles A. Hepburn, a Glasgow collector, was prepared to go to £3,000 until a stranger standing next to him whispered: “Excuse me sir, but from a purely charitable point of view do you know that the gentleman over there is trying to get the manu- script for the Burns Memorial?” So was Capt. Hepburn and at the next call of the auctioneer he dropped from the bidding, Later, Col. T. C. Dunlop, sec- retary of the Burns Memorial at tle, showing no signs of tiring, Alloway, Ayershire, signed a towed his 33-foot boat almost. a cheque for £1,500 which secured mile. A rope was fastened to the the relic. Col. Dunlop said he had ex- pected to buy the manuscript for long and weighed near the 300- pound mark. LIBRARY FIRE—Firemen battle a stubborn blaze in the dome of the 85-year-old Parliamentary Library building at Ottawa. The water damaged the valyable book collection stored there but many of the between 500,000 and about £500, but despite the £1,000 difference was content with the deal, 1,000,000 books, periodicals and newspaper files were undamaged. Others suffered from the water, three inches deep on the wooden floor of the library building. The 12-hour fire, most serious since a 1916 blaze razed the main block of the Parliament Buildings except the library, was confined to the base of the spire. (CP PHOTO), Lee ¥
