The Triangle run and service in the St. Lawrence.

We're on the, what they call the triangle run, for a long time. The triangle run was Boston, Halifax, St. John's in Newfoundland. And when we left Halifax, God knows where we went, all way out in the ocean somewhere. Took us about eight days to get, go from Halifax to St. John's, Newfoundland. We're out in the Gulf stream. Most of the time it was foggy, and especially in the summer time. So foggy, you'd have the convoy behind you, and you wouldn't see it until the last day. You'd get out on the Gulf Stream maybe and the, the fog would clear up, and you could see what was behind you. And we were, yeah it was a pretty rough trip at times too. You'd get real, real bad there. Then we were off doing the duties up through the St. Lawrence, the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The sub, subs were in there and the Magog. We were up there one time. We got a whole fleet of frigates. This was ( inaudible ) towards the end of the war. There was five or six frigates up doing a sweep. And something blew the end off the stern, off the Magog. Now, they wasn't sure if there was an accident, because all the depth charges were stored there, or whether it was a torpedo. But anyway, it blew the end off, didn't sink her. Blew the stern right off her, and there were round-robin depth charges everywhere. And somebody signalled to the, the corvette Shawinigan, "Conserve your depth charges." And then he signalled back, "Why? We got lots of them!"
