Quite an amusing incident happened at

night frightened up the whistle cord, which
was of cod line. AS it happened the night
was foggy, and about IL o'clock the cord had
shrunk enough to blow the whistle. It blew
for half an hour, waking up everyb body within
a mile and a half of the mill, all surprising it
was a fire alarm. Herbert says he will be
| careful in the future and not get the whistle
cord too tight. Well, never mind, Herbert,
we had little excitement out of it, any
| way.
