fOOLhARDY BOYS
TRY TO BEACH THEIR BOATS
NEAR SEAL ROCKS
Too Common and Dangerous Practice
A Vaudeville Entertainment.
Peeping Tom Abroad

| AVALON, July 30.-Two young men
who refused to give their names, met
with an accident yesterday that came
! near costing them their lives. They had
started for Seal rocks in fiat-bottomee
skff, and when the rocks were reached
not profiting by the experience of those
who have tried to land there before, OF
Understanding the power of the surf
they tried to run in and land, and cap
sized in the attempt. Their boat was
| thrown high up on the beach and the
oars were washed out to sea. One OF
the boys started to try to walk to Ava
Ion by climbing around the rocks, but
| this proved beyond his strength, and he
was now separated from his companion
by long point of rocks. At about
o'clock the launch Holland was passing
the place in charge of Carl Lewis. See
ing a boy on the beach without boat,
Lewis hailed him, but for some time
could not succeed in getting IN answer.
After great deal of hard work the lad
nearest Seal rocks was taken off in
safety, and the other was then rescued
without much difficulty. The boys were
ashamed to give their names.
Brevities
An enjoyable impromptu vaudeville
performance was given at Camp Hi-Ho

The performance consisted of songs,
dances, funny dialogues and ledgerde-
main. The principals were Miss Clara
Walton, Miss Lucille Walton. Miss c.
Bosbyshell Miss Bosbyshell, Miss Carol
Sippy, Miss Goden, Miss Forrest, Miss
Farnsworth and Miss Maurice.
Governor A. B. Smith chartered the
launch Sunbeam last evening for moon
light fishing trip. To Miss Smith was
awarded the prize for the biggest fish
caught, a yellowtail weighing twenty
one pounds. 1t was the first sea fishing
that Miss Smith had ever done, and it
was a genuine surprise when the big
fish was hauled into the boat
Mr. Young was out for Jewish with
one of Emersons boatmen, and had
three strikes, but did not succeed in
bringing in his fish. On the way back
to Avalon he caught two yellowtail and
six barracuda.
