MIR. Carriers Row Boat.

Mr.. William e. Carter, whose loss Of
row boat was reported last week, thinks
he may have a clue to it, Yesterday
morning the captain of one of the shore
boats told Mr.. Carter, that on last We'd
nesday a young man in a row boat hailed
him and asked for tow This was off
Mark island, and the young man said
that he had been on a yacht that had
been wrecked and he wanted to get to
Mt. Desert if he could. The captain
towed him to Cape Small Point where
he dropped him. 1t seems, however, that
instead of keeping on, he obtained an
other tow we'll up into the Kennebec
river, where he has been heard from. Mr.
Carter has notified the Bath police and
also friends in Boothbay to keep look
out for the missing boat and young man,
and he hopes to capture him and obtain
his boat again.
