a massive bowIder known as Prospect

The body of James H. Macvicar of
Montclair, n. j., who was drowned in
Mallett's bay on the night of Friday,
August %, was found by William
Coates near Care island in Lake Cham
plain at 10 o'clock Sunday forenoon.
1t was dressed in short-sleeved sweat
er and knickerbockers, with a close-fit-
ting belt. On his person was found
$11.5S and his watch, which had
stopped at 1910, showing that he had
made great effort to outride the
heavy storm on the lake, which began
that night. Mr.. Macvicar came yearly
to camp on the shores of the lake, near
the entrance to Mallett's bay, and on
the day of his death his brother, Rev.
Mr.. Macvicar, and party had returned
to their home in New Jersey, leaving
him to close the camp and follow on
the next day. 1t is supposed that he
went out on a pleasure row on the lake
when he was overtaken by the storm,
which was accompanied by high
wind. The boat was found the next
morning and few days later the oars
which had been tied together, were
also found on the shore.
