Yesterday the guests at st. Georges Island
enjoyed delightful sail to Point Lookout, and
those who participated in the same will long
remember the day as one of more
than ordinary enjoyment. At 10 o'clock
orders were given for all to board the
elegant two masted schooner Eta, commanded
by Capt G. W. Thomas. and after sail of five
hours with the wind "dead ahead the Point
was reached, whore all embarked. Some took
advantage of the fine surf bathing, while others
we're shown through the light house and other
points Of interest. At 5 o'clock orders were
given "all aboard" and with . fair wind the
island was reached in time for supper. On our
way home q vote Of thanks was rendered Capt.
Thomas and his son Edward for their untiring
efforts to make the day pleasant one for all;
manner in which he conducted the trip
from beginning to end. The refreshments
were under the charge of Mr.. William
Garner, and everything was carried out to the
satisfaction Of all present Owing to the lack
OF glasses the liquid refreshments aparilla,
lemon and ginger ale-were passed around in
bottles. and as a majority of the ladies
belonged to temperance societies, and
not knowing the contents Of the aforesaid
bottles, and seeing others, as they supposed,
looking through the same at the sky, they pro-
ceeded to do likewise, much to the Amusement
ofall. They had forgotten to pull the corks.
