  "THOS BAKER RELATED EXPERIENCE HIS FATHER HAD AS A SOLDIER IN THE CRIMEAN WAR - SAVED BY OFFICER
  Do you know my father was nearly shot as a spy, during the Crimean War," was the statement of Thomas Baker, to a representative of The Reporter on Wednesday. Mr Baker, who is now past 82 years of age, recalled that his father, who served during the Crimean War in the 62nd Regiment, was mistaken for a spy and might have been shot had it not been for the intervention of a British soldier.
  Mr. Baker said that his father used to sit and talk by the hour of his experience in the siege of Sebastapool. He recalled the incident which nearly brought an end to the military career of his father. The British troops were encamped a short distance from the Russian city and they ran out of drinking water. Th officer in charge stated that he would give a bottle of rum to the soldier who would go down the well and bring up a quantity of water.
  Mr. Baker's father accepted the rum and started down the stone steps to get the water. There was evidently some ice or slippery material on the steps and soldier Baker went on his back to the bottom. When he did not come up, there was some alarm, especially when they heard singing coming from the bottom of the well. When the search party went down the steps they found Baker standing in the water to his knees, singing. "I guess the rum must have made him sing," said Tom Baker. One of the British officers was very indignant. "Arrest the man, he is a spy," but fortunately for the young soldier, another officer who knew him in the Old Land, intervened, and the "execution ceremony" was cancelled.
  Mr. Baker said that he had been associated with soldiers from the time he was a mere child. He himself was born in Halifax in 1857, and when 3 1/2 years of age his father and mother took him to Malta where they remained for two years. Later his father was transferred to Gibraltar, but did not remain there for a lengthy period, and later, reached England where his regiment was disbanded. The enlisted soldiers were told that they could proceed to Canada and complete their time and Mr. Baker accepted the offer and came to Canada.
  For several years Mr. Baker's father was stationed at Kingston at Fort Frederick and other military headquarters. He recalled crossing the old wooden bridge which connected Kingston and Barriefield, and said they used to charge a toll of a penny to walk across the bridge and the soldiers had a boat service to enable them to miss the tolls.
  "I served for 25 years with the Canadian artillery," said Mr. Baker, "and if I were younger I think I would be at it again."
