made by the inside route. By going that
way the xcursionists get much better

THRILLING RESCUE.
Arno Hodgkins of Huu's Cove, Rescues

hero Saturday afternoon. and to him
Mr.. and Mrs. Abbot Smith and Harry
Boardman, OF Bangor. who are summer
ing at Hancock Point, owe their lives
Green Hodgkins was ON the shore watch
ing Arno, who WAS some distance off
shore in row boat, when he espied a
small black cloud moving towards a cat
boat mile away near the buoy ledge.
The cloud developed into little typhoon
which oapsized the craft and he saw
three persons thrown into the WATER

learning thu nature of the accident. Ar
no at length started in his boat rowing
for his life towards the upset boat.
A strong wind was blowing, making

and it must have been twenty-five
minutes before he came alongside the
catboat dragging her sail in the water,
and the three persons ciinging to them Us
best they could. The trio were almost
exhausted. Mrs. Smith was supported
and buoyed up by her husband. The 10y
waters of the bay had benumbed them,
but they were struggling for life brave
ly. as they had seen the row boat com
ing to their rescue. 1t was difficult
and dangerous task to lift the three
drowning persons into the little row
boat, but it was heroioally accomplished.
They were even then in dangerous
plight, as the little row boat with its
heavy load was in danger of upsetting in
the strong wind and heavy waves.
The steamer Creedmoor, owned by
Corners Brothers Of Bar Harbor, cruising
about the bay espied them. and came to
their aid, taking the party aboard and
riehting the cat boat. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith and Harry Board man. the unfor-
tunate occupants of the eatboat wore
taken to Hancock Point. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith were recently married and spend
ng.part of their honeymoon at the Point.
Great praise is due Arno Hodgkins fol-
his bravery and pluck.
