Original Toronto Star caption: A red plastic Toboggan on which one of two 11-year-old Scarborough girls rode to her death on Saturday is uncovered by searching policemen today on the side of the Highland Creek ravine; a few yards above the spot where the bodies of Marlene Teibe and Jayne MacGregor were found buried under the snow by a slide they apparently triggered when they coasted over an overhanding lip of snow. More than 1;000 volunteers took part in the search for the girls.

A dream come true for former Scarborough insurance man Frederick Carlisle is his three-hulled Caravel II.
