Original Toronto Star caption: Poor old homeless Cannon. Lying prostrate in a basement in he Old Fort on the waterfront; midst a lot of undistinguished fowling pieces that never hit a Frenchman's rigging or scuttled a Dutchman; this adventurous old Hudson Bay 12-pounder-it. Weighs 1;000 pounds !-is looking for a kind home. A home that will let it look out; with antique eye; over blue water again; and perhaps bark at an enemy.
