CAPsIzED IN THE HARBoR.-As the Ray
was coming up the harbor last evening about
10 o'clock, some of the party heard cries of
distress in the direction of Fort Gorges.
The yacht sailed in the direction Of the cry
and found sailboat capsized and three men
and woman in small dory drifting about.
The yacht ran alongside and the party was
rescued. They proved to be George A. Her
bert and wife and two men whose names were
not learned, all belonging to Cape Elizabeth
They went out for a sail the first of the even
ing and the halyards becoming caught in the
tiler, the boat became manageable and the
wind capsized the craft Fortunately for the
party they had dory in tow into which they
all got. They had no oars, however, and
were unable to propel the boat, but were
drifted about by the waves. The woman ex-
hibited to the party on the yacht pet dog
which she had rescued with her own hands and
then climbed into the dory.

ve.sation, when suddenly the report of gun
was heard, and COW standing near the stable

would see if he could fire it. He says he aimed
it at his father, but fortunately it missed the
mark, killing very valuable cow.
