A Close Call,

John Matheson and Claus Hanson, two
fishermen, had an experience last Satur-
day which they do not care to have re-
peated. They were out to their lines
when terrific northwest storm, the
worst that has been seen for years, came
up. They were about six miles south
west Of here when the storm struck
them. The wind, which was directly off
land, was so strong that their boat would
carry no sail save "bit of a rag'' and at
times they were compelled to lower that.
The day was cold and the wind was 80

up In sheet and hurled it in their faces,
while the breakers were rolling into the
boat as fast as one of them could bail it
out. Although they had an excellent
boat, il the occupants had not been cool
headed and experienced seamen we fear
our story would have been sadder one.

would believe that small boat could
live 10 it..

tending the dredge that was at work in
the harbor. Capt. Rafferty, and the en-
gineer Of the tug were asked to 90 to the
rescue of the boys. Although they said

out Of orderfand the storm was SO terrific
that they didn't think they would ever
be able to reach them, they bravely con-
sented to make an attempt, so the tug
started out with the captain, engineer,
g. =. Durfee, NJ. J ohnson and Ole Ander-
son oD board. After rolling and tossing
through the sea, which at times washed
completely over her, the tug succeeded
IN reaching the boys about Two miles
east Of town and towed them into the
harbor. They had sailed about seven
