Ancient Cannon May

Fight Again

Nukualofa, March 10.

A METAL drive, organised by the Government to assist the Empire war effort, has resulted in the accumulation at the yard of the Gov ernment Workshops, of several tons of scrap metal of all sorts and conditions, from ship anchors to church bells.

Even the ancient cannon from priva teers and other European vessels which called at Tonga a century ago were resurrected from their last resting places In remote islands and brought to Nukua lofa. Who knows? Some of these anti ouated pieces may go into the making of their modern counterparts.
