blowing, however, and the boat soon
sped out of the little sheltered harbor
just below the hotel. A circuit of APP
pledore island was made The party
was a jolly one and very little atten-
ton was paid to the weather until sud
denly the western sky began 10 darken.
At this time the boat was some dis
lance off from the island, but Miles
managed to get her round and headed
back for the harbor.
But the squall with its mission Of
death outsped the boat and, catching
it some few hundred feet off shore
whirled it over in a tWinkling. Every
person in the boat was thrown into the
water and then began that frantic
struggle which always succeeds such
an accident
The three men, all good swimmers,
fought heroically to save the lives OF
the crazed women. But they We're all
badly handicapped. for the boat, heavi-
~ ballasted, Immediately sank leaving
them nothing but their own strength
to keep up IA women.
The clutch of four or five women
carried down one of the men, and the
other soon followed, but Miles, al
though working hard, managed to keep
two of the women away from the
others and sustained them until help
arrived.
The little steamer Sam Adams,
which plies between the islands. was
the first on the scene, but could do lit
tie, on account of the proximity to
some rocks. They managed to reach
the Haggerty woman, but could not get
to the others.
A dozen dories from Appledore island,
each manned by fishermen, We're next
on the scene and each got hold of q
body. which it took Immediately to the
shore, where Doctors Warren and
Richter tried all means of resuscitat-
ing. but without success.
The bodies were then taken to Music
hall. n small dance hall on Appledore
island. where they were laid on cot
beds furnished by the hotel, while word
was Immediately cabled to this city
summoning Coroner i. f. Shapleigh
and Undertaken A. n. Nickerson.
The victims were all yotng people
whose ages would not average over %
years. Most Of those from Massachusetts
were school teachers who have been in
the habit of passing their summer vaca-
tons here Tor several years past in sert-
| ing as mattresses III the hotel, some OF
them having been Lere for eight years
past.
The accident was witnessed by nearly
100 of the guests of the hotel, who, horror
stricken upon seeing the boat go over
and the struggling girls in the water
rushed to the beach. where they stood
utterly helpless to afford any aid.
Skipper Miles, who was in charge of thu
boat, has been employed at the islands
for years and has always been considere-
thoroughly reliable and trustworthy. H.
is severely criticised. however, for takirs
out such a large party. He has been f.

Thousands Ct people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than
catarrh. The fact is, catarrh is catarrh
wherever located; and another fact
which is Of equally great Importance, is
that Peiuna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
one-half Of the people are afflicted more
or less with it in some form. Previous
to the discovery of Peruna, catarrh was
considered well nigh incurable. Since
