shore of island in Boston harbOr, on |
which Fort Independence is situated, into |
which the bodies of persons drowned in |
the bay within the radius of a mile are |
swept by the curving currents and where i
they are recovered frequently On one |
occasion, several years ago, two young
men approached the commandant, who had |
just returned from a Boston luncheon |
and in most amiable mood.
Captain they said, I'VE lost a dear |
friend by drowning near here a few days /
ago and his relatives and all his friends i
are greatly distressed because his body /
has not been found Would you mind firing /
a gun over the cove to see if that would |
