A SCHOONER ENCAsED IN ICE,


The fishing schooner Uncle Joe was
towed into the harbor. yesterday forenoon,
covered with ice and looking more like
an ice berg than anything else. The

and brought about $4,000 pounds Of fish
back with him, but he did not bring it
without first going through some pretty
tough experiences.
Last Sunday evening about 10 O'Clock,
the schooner was lying about fifteen
miles to the southeast Of Matinicus when
the crew saw q storm rapidly approaching
and began to stand off before it as speedi-
ly as possible It:struck the Uncle Joe,
however, with great force, taking her
foresail free from the jibboom, while the
wind blew frightfully and the waves
dashed fifteen feet high over tho vessel
and into the rigging. 1t was very cold

managed to get double reef in the fore
sail and single one in the mainsail, and
they are likely to stay there until little
warmer weather comes, judging from the
looks of the vessel today.
The men stood half hour tricks as the
intense cold made it impossible to stay
unprotected any longer. Monday night
they arrived of Boothbay and put in for
harbor. While there wss no snow the
strong wind continued up to yesterday
morning and with the increased cold
everything was frozen up solidly. Tues
day morning when the crew attempted to
get up anchor it was found that the
capstan was frozen stiff and wouldn' t
bulge. Nothing available was at hand for
fuel, the five dories piled one within the
other had assumed the shape of a solid
block of ice and were useless to go ashore
in. AS a last resort the men overhauled
their extra clothing and finally with the
aid of four pairs of pants, sea jacket
and two gallons of oil the refractory
capstan was thawed out, and the men got
up their anchor.
The Uncle Joe's deck was covered with
ice to a thickness of three inches; the
foresail was weighted down and larger
than barrel in some parts while the
sail was frozen stiff as board. Tht
rigging ON the. forward part of the
schooner was sight to behold, ole incl
rope measuring ssven inches iG diameter
with its additional incrustatzon of ice.

WATER FOR PEAKS ISLAND.
The Formation of a Company to Supply r.
Needed Demand for Water Service.

The Peaks Island Water and Light
Company has been organized at Portland
for the purpose of acquiring and operat'
ing water works and light plants, with
| $4,000 capital stock, of which $50 is paid
in. The officers are: President Richard
x. Galley of Portland; treasurer, Charles
G. Douglass of Portland.
This company applied on Monday night
from the city government for permits
sion to lay its watermains in the streets
on Peaks island and also to contract with
the city for 20 hydrants for the island
Both requests were referred to committees
for investigation and will be acted upon
later.
President r. K. Galley of this company
was seen yesterday by PRESS reporter
and asked about the plans of the compa-
ny. He said that at present heSwas not
in position to give out much informa-
ton concerning the company's inten-
TONS
"We shall endeayor to give to Peaks
island fine water supply. The company
has already secured location for its
plant on the highest spot of land on
Peaks island. Here stand pipe of $780,
600 gallons capacity will be located, to-
gether with pumping station. Artesian
wells will be sunk and TO lighthouses oc-
cupied all the year round and to the ny
drants mains will be laid beneath the
frost limit. For those summer cottages
where water will be required only por
ton of the year surface pipes will be laid.
The company means business and as soon
as certain rights and privileges are grant
ed it, the work will be set on foot AL
ready the company has been promised the
patronage of two thirds of the residential
population, and there is no doubt but
that nearly all the cottagers will take
advantage of the water supply. Water
service is what Peaks island has needed
for years and the company will undoubt-
cdly meet with success in its undertake
