 The Dundas Incident: Charles Fort Investigates a Fish Fall
Dundas, Feb. 26 -- In common with many other centres rain fell here yesterday afternoon, and several hours later residents were astonished to observe small fish, about the size of baiting minnows, near the vicinity of Victoria and Market streets.
Charles Fort is driving at is this: If the Dundas minnows, the Connecticut frogs and the Indiana larvae fell from the sky and came from another world than this, then accepted ideas about space are wrong and it might be possible to fly from this planet to another.
Dundad means Dundas and this is the story of the minnows which Robert Manning netted at the dam, carried home in a pail, with the intention of going fishing through holes in the ice, but next day it poured so heavy a rain that he abandoned the trip and dumped his fish in the ditch.
