TIME THROWN AWAY,
Is What Mr.. Bryant Says About Interview
ing Mr.. Reed.

Mr. W. E. Bryant of the Boston Journal
went out to Grand Beach to call upon Mr..
Reed, and this. is what he says:
In making my call on Mr.. Reed was
the victim of adverse circumstances. I
called before supper, the bell ringing just
as Mr.. Reed stepped around the corner of
the piazza to greet me. He invited ME to
sup with him, but his eye did not reflect
the cordially of his voice, and, besides,
my clothes were travel stained, and I de-
clined with regret, for I had tasted a
long time. 1t was not necessary to detain
Mr.. Reed long. We very soon understood
each other. In fact, [ never interviewed
man SO quickly before.
MIR. Reed, / have been visiting some
portions of your State, as the representa-
tive ofA the Boston Journal and before
returning home I wished to give myself
the pleasure of calling on you. I don't
expect to talk on politics, as it is un der
stood that subject is tabooed by you while
newspaper men are near
'Well, l do not wish to be interviewed
on any subject.
"Nor to chat informally on matters of
general INTEREST,""
That may be all very well when a man
wishes to express his convictions in that
sort of way. I believe Mr.. Sumner origi-
enated it on one occasion when he wished
to say something about Mr.. Fessenden,
that he thought it could best be expressed
through third party. But I don't like
it, at present, at all events, and I abso-
lutely refuse to be interviewed. 1 have
told everybody SO that has called on me
and do not care to..make an exception in
your favor as much as l might like to ac-
commodate you'
81 will not detain you longer from your
supper, Mr.. Reed. Good evening. -
And as | renewed my acquaintance
with the friendly mosquitoes at Grand
Beach station, all unconsciously mused:

A HAIR RAISING EXPERIENCE.
Party in Launch Almost Wrecked in
Sheepscot Bay.

A Lewiston gentleman was one of the
party that came up from Squirrel Island
after the ball game with the
Bowdoinhams and participated in the
'Shipwreck' on the lodges off Boston
island in Sheepscot Bay
There were twenty five men on the
craft the Baptist clergyman at Bowdoin-
ham who played centre-feld on the ball
team being one of them, and the Lewis
ton gentleman and some of his relatives
being passengers. They left Squirrel
Island at seven and came along we'll to the
Sheepscot. They were in steam launch
with Captain Amasa Williams of Bow
doinham as pilot. The launch was housed
in but had no rail and no guard along
the cabin top. Captain Williams lost his
bearings somewhere at the entrance of
the bay and his compass was out of gear
and he plainly steered out of his course
Night was shutting down and the fog
was drifting in and q heavy sea was
swinging up from the ocean.
The party was sitting about in the
cabin when suddenly they heard Zone
bell and then the reversing of the
engine: Before the headway could be
stopped the launch had struck and with
a grinding noise, had run hard upon the
rocks with the sea breaking and the
dangerous surf all around Everybody
jumped to the deck. A wave swept the
craft over to one side and she rIghted
again. Having absolutely tnothing for
protection or to hold on by; rope was
stretched along and fastened and the men
held on to it. No women were on board
which was proyidential. The launch
rolled dangerously SO far in facU that
water poured in at the cabin windows.
Out of the party only a few could SWIM
There were twenty life preseryers on
board and those who could not swim
were first provided. They stood amid the
rolling of the waves on either side of the
house. holding the rope and trying to
steady the motion of the boat The
whistle was blown and other sounds
made to attract attention. In the party
were some of the leading men of the
village (Bowdoinham) and one boy of
about fourteen. Good order prevailed,
although it was considered that there
was almost DO chance of escape. The
launch carried no boat and the only thing
that was in it's favor WAS the fact that it
was flood tide and that the launch had
grounded about amidships and seemed to
hang easily although much longer of the
rolling would have been fatal They kept
backing her with the propeller and
| polling with sections of gas pipe that lay
upon the top of the house and that were
to have been used for a rail, around the
top of the house. a 1t was about mile
| from Isle of Springs and half mile from
Boston Island. Their whistles as it
proved, were heard by fishermen at
Southport.
The Lewiston gentleman on the launch
says that they were on probably ten min
uses, although it seemed hours. At last it
began to look like a case of sauye qui
Deut and rather homeless. The sea grew

The Matter of Wine at Dinner.

Mr.. Jerome K. jerome once gave din
ner and discussed the matter of wine with
the head waiter-a kindly, fatherly old
man--before the guests arrived He was
a man of experience and knowledge, and
they went over the wine list together.
"Well, y said the waiter, eff you take my
advice you will give them good cham
pagne to start with, let's say Deutz and
Geldermann 1878, and let that go round
twice. After that, sir-well, here's very
good wine that always recommend, at S
shillings the bottle, and then, if were

said Jerome, that they will notice the
difference?" "Lor' bless you, no, sir" said
the man. "We generally do it that way.
