Sunday at noon the band gave It's famous
undress parade. Bathing suits were all
the style and any old thing went. They
paraded up and down the avenue twice
and gave the camera fiends a splendid
chance. Their usually melodious instru-
ments were replaced with any kind Of a
racket producer. On the last round they
invaded Fishbecks and Quenched a spien-
did thirst In soda as the guests Of Mr.. Orr.

Two boys one Of whom gave his fame
a. Andrews, had an experience yesterday
that will make them little more cautious
as to where they beach their boat next
|
rented boat from Mexican Joe and were
to start early yesterday morning for a
fishing trip. When the morning came they
went down to Joe's stand and seeing his
round bottom fishing boat on the beach
supposed 1t was the one That they had
rented and took 1t. All day yesterday Joe
was around town asking If anyone had
seen his boat. Late yesterday when the
boat did not show up he took launch and
went out in search Of the boat The launch
was run down the coast as far az Long
point and from there back up to Seal
rocks. but no trace Of the boat. A short
time after he returned and when 1t was
way past dark tho launch Santa Ana came
In and reported seeing the boat on the Sec
ond beach the other side of Long point,
which Is called italian gardenA The
launch Immediately picked up a skin ard
went back after the boat. IT was found
.there but no trace Of the occupants. Run
ming down the coast a short distance the
two boys were found on the beach. They
were soon picked up and put In the launch.
Soaked to the skin and half frozen, they
could scarcely talk. The captain Of the
launch gave them some whisky 10 warm
them up and they managed to toll the fol-
lowing story:
I'VE startd from the boat stand early
in the morning and rowed down to Ita-
ian Gardens and beaohed. After a short
time spent on shore we tried to get away
to come home, but could not. We were
upset four times and at last gave up the
idea. Thinking that there might ba a house
or something on the next beach We climbed
over, to It. For the next eight hours We
tried to dry ourselves and get warm, and
We were suffering terribly from cold when
We were picked up"
It was after O'Clock this morning when
the Santa Ana reached Avalon with the
boat In tow. In one Of their numerous up
sets they lost their jug Of water and also
q canvas that was in the boat.
