The Oban Times, 26 March, 1910 Sir,–in your issues of the fifth and twelfth instance there have appeared letters from Lieut.

The Oban Times, Saturday, 12 March, 1910 Kintyre, 7 March, 1910 Sir,–I read Mr. J. MacLennan’s one-sided remarks on the above, as contributed in the correspondence column of your last issue.
