THEY SWAMI A MILE,
And Finally Landed Safely on Dia-
mond Island.

Wednesday afternoon Fred 81. Delano and
Frank How, of this city, aged respectively
Is and Ia years of age. went out sailing in the
harbor. They had been to Falmouth Fore
side, and were returning when the boat was
struck by a squall off Mackworth's Island
and capsized. The thwarts were loose and
foated. The How boy could swim, but the
Delano boy couldn't. The How boy seized
one of the loose thwarts and placed it under
his arms for float. but 1t was soon washed
away by the waves. Then the two boys
foated and swan propelled partially by the
strong wind at their backs for fully mile to
Diamond Island, where the children on the
island seeing them at first thought they were
seals playing in the water. Delano managed
to make the land, and Mr.. Geo. IL. Poor and
DIR. Elwell becoming satisfied that the OBJ
ject on the water was human peing seized
boat and rescued How. The boy declared
he could have sustained himself ten minutes
longer but that is very doubtful. The How
boy was taken to City Treasurer Libby's
cottage and Delano to Mrs. Blanchard's.
They were all right yesterday but they had
had narrow escape. They were in the
water an hour and half.

The Leary Raft.

We are requested by the DirIgo to state
that Pilot Craig, whose account of the pas
sage of the Leary raft from st. John to this
city appeared in yesterdays Argus, was the
pilot of the Storm King and not of the Diri-
20, and consequently is unfamiliar with the
trip of the Dirigo from Rockland to this
port. The Dirigo, we are informed, never
was anchored at any time in the trip as re-
ported by Pilot Craig. The pilot of the Di-
rigo was Capt. A. w. Watson of st. John.
