Yesterdays STORM.
How IL Played Havoc with Tunday
School Excursions.

The excursions that went from Will
minatOu yesterday, ~ mentioned in the
GAZETTE, has . dismsly unpleasant
time on account of the storm of wind
and rain which prevailed all day. The
At. Pau.'s M. e. Church people, who
went to Creedmoor Park, had q toler-
ably pleasant tsme, having ample cover
from the rain. By way of entertainment
the First. Regiment Band discoursed ex-
cellent music. Rev. Mr. Richards, pas-
tor of the chur ch, sang mum Der Of vo-
cal selections. Prof. Ford gave come
select readings- Iohi, Walsahulidt fa-
vored the company with cornes solo,
and various other musical and literary
exercises were indulged in. The time
wes thus very PLEASANTLY spent. though
the ride home was dull and the land
ing IN the midst of the storm exceed
ly disagreeable. -t"
Bnt the EpwOrth Sunday School ex-
cursion to Bombay Hook on the steam
er Clyde was decidedly the most un-
lucky of all. After dismally putting
through several hours at the beach the
boat started for home shortly after 4.30
O'Clock. when the rain was falling furi.
ously and the wind blowing what fisher
men call q Giving gale." Friends at
reasonable. Baihff Daily, looking out
of the Council Chamber windows about
six O'Clock, predicted that the Clyde was
the getting about the worst shaking up
she had ever experienced. and his pre-
diction proved to be correct, as all the
way from Reedy Island to Finn's Point
the steamer labored in the trough OF
the sea and the teeth of the storm,
pitching to such an extent that men.
women and children by the score be
came sea sick, and all the exursionists
heartily wished themselves on shore
| again. In the Gbristiana the water
was also rough, and the wind blew 90
| that the steamer was forced TO the low.
or side Of tie creek, where the excur-
sionists were forced to land upon the
bank, below the KsDnebec Ice Com
