Sensible Advice for sail Boats.

The New York Sun under the cap
tion of Small Boat Drownjngs' gives
some sensible advice as to the fitting
up of small boats. A number of our
residents are interested in this sub
ject having boats either at Lake
Hopatcong, Budds' Lake or some of
the mountain or sea side resorts.
The article avs:
1.-The wife, child and friend of
Captain Horn were lost off Sandy
Hook on Sunday because their cat
boat sank. There should be no sinka-
BILE small boats. Everyone of them
should have air cans that make sink
ing impossible. If that had been the
character of Capt. Horns boat,
there would probably have been no
tragedy. If air cans are regarded
as too cumbersome or too expensive,
these should be replaced by ring
buoys. These are made in various
sizes and in three grades-those
filled with graduated cork, those
known to the trade as compressed or
condensed, and those filled with
large sections of cork cut to fit the
annular space inside the buoy A
ring buoy of the second mentioned
grade and of sufficient buoyancy to
afford rest to three swimmers at one
time, and to be very useful in help
ing to the boat those who cannot
swim, can be bought for less than
three dollars. 1t is not greatly in
the way on the cockpit floor, and.
carried there, it is always within
reach for use
There should be plenty of them.

Burial Place of Washington's Great,
Great Grandfather.

During the recent visit of Alex
ander Bennett to England, he be-
came interested in the attempt of the
Rev. A. K. Wilson vicar of Maldon,
England, in his search for the burial
place of the great, great grandfather
of George Washington in which
will be seen from the following letter
to the Maldon, England, News that
he has been successful:
The following very welcome COM
munication reaches us from the Vicar
of Maldon:
"Maldon, 27 JAN, 1902.
"Sir 1t may interest your readers,
and especially Americans, to know
that the great great grandfather of
George Washington was buried in the
ohurchyard of All Saints, Maldon.
The entry in the register is particu-
larly distinct:
Mr.. Laurence Washington was
buryed January 10, 1852
"This, of course las the year then
began at LadyDay), would be 1868
of our reckoning.
"The Mr. is put before Laurence
Washington name as being the mark
of clergyman. He was, in fact,
rector of Purleigh, then one of the
best livings IN these parts. He was
elected by the Parliament in 1913,
and lived in retirement at Braxted !;
but his connection with Maldon, and
the reason for his being buried here,
do not appear.
We have not been able, so far,
to discover his tomb. and ow ng to
later enoroaohments upon the church
yard ground, this may not be posi-
BILE.
''With regard to the half timbered
Vicarage House now being repaired, ]
am told the east Egable wing formed
the PRIESTS House. " The centre
part between the wings was probably
hall, open right up TO the roof, of
which one of the beams of the door
and some of the old windows have
been discovered. The west wing con
tains some fine moulded timbers, and
two stone fireplaces have been found.
The mural decoration in the lower
room is plainly visible, consisting of
stripes of red, white and drab, each
about nine inches broad, painted over
the beams and plaster, and ON this
are stencilled an his alternately with
eonventionalized shamrock, in
colors of yellow, black and red.
This covers one wall, and traces of
the same decorations are to be seen
on the beams of the others An old
oak doorway in this room has been
exposed, and upstairs a date has been
found
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1902-07-11
MA 1898 /: 26 :.

probably the date of the decoration.
cit seems strange TO me that this
renovation should have been quietly
going on in Maldon just before those
troublous times which resulted in the
election of Laurence Washington
from the living of Purleigh His
subsequent burial here, considered in
conjunction with some church chart
ties of those times, and the later gifts
of DR.. Plume, one of which, some
of the church plate. was given in
memory OF his baptism in All Saints
Church in 1880, make me curious to
know whether Maldon was less
troubled and more favored from 1880
to 1868 than other places.
