NEWPORT. Nov. 26.-Some Greek fishermen
who were out some two miles to the eastward
of Gooseberry Island in the open sea on wednes-

near their boat. They started toward the

deer put up a lively fight, and it was only after
q hard tussle that IL was finally hauled aboard
the boat. The Greeks didn't do much fishing
after that. but set sail for Newport with their

of the private herds in this region, although IL
has not yet been called for. A couple of years

by accident and experience that the
practice OF 'scorcbing" is not only unjust
ard unfair to others. but also unsafe and
dangerous for themselves.
IL is estimated that the stretch OF road
