Eugene Shattuck and Charlie Tay- |
lor. two Derby boys, thought they |
would take the front sled Oft traverse
sleigh, and, with horse blanket for a |
sail, use them for an ice boat on the |
lake. The ice was smooth and a very |
strong south wind was blowing.
They started off in fine shape, the
speed increased and after going a few
miles they thought it time TO stop and
90 back. but that was not so easily
done. for the strong wind had the CON
troll and they were carried over several
reefs and from two to four feet OF open
water They were blown some twelve
miles down near the Mountain House
before they could stop, when they had
to walk back around by the west shore.
They did not get home until II o'clock
that night, sad and tired, but wiser
boys.
