| 1t is indeed hard lines to be stranded the
| first night out of town, but such was the
case with the Rialto Dramatic Club, when
they played in Searsport Monday evening,
but it was not from lack of money. The
company played to a fair house and some of
them were returning home in the big barge
OF the Livery Company in which they had
made the trip over Driver Bowden was at
| the helm and the old craft was making very
| little sea, until about half way home from
Searsport when it gently slued to one side
and the runner on the starboard quarter
gave way. 1t was at once found necessary
to stop for repairs, and when it was realized
| the damage done, it looked, and so proved,
that a walk into town would be in order.
While the barge was undergoing repairs,
Police Officer George Frisbee, who accom-
panied the party, marshaled the club to-
gether and acting the part of the guardian
angel that he was, marched them over the
snowy roads to town. 1t was a hard trip,
but as the sweet strains from numerous
lighthouses and stables along the way of
waking fowl and lowing herds came to the
ears of this little band, it gave them cour-
| age and they could not but feel, like Coxey's
army, that there was rest ahead. FOrtu-
O3tplV the a mpmhar Of tho
party, and with the ladies who cared not to
risk their lives on another seighing trip
they found the walking good?
