tracted by shout from the shore. and
looking back over the course OF the boat
they saw the body OF the drowned girl
about 100 feet astern.
The body was I'm an upright position,
with the right arm extended, holding the
handkerchief. and moving up and down
In the water. At times the entire upper
half Of the body TO the waist line was
visible, and again only the head showed
above the surface.
People on the shore who saw the body
as II first arose say that II shot UP until
II was exposed for nearly it's full length,
and then. sinking back, seemed to oscil-
late less and less violently.
Physicians who examined the body
later said the position in which Il rose
TO the surface was undoubtedly due TO
the action OF gas within II.
Mr.. Goodell In his boat approached the
body and fastened a long rope carefully
about the waist after which another
boat towed ~ ashore. where Il was ex-
amined by Or. George +. Thompson. the
assistant medical examiner. DIR. Thomp-
said said there was no indication Of foul
play.
Miss Goodell was % years OF age. Her
father. Wesley NJ. Goodell, is postmaster
and station agent at Dwight station In

the Standard a poem OF six stanzas, de-
plotting the colonists as being shamefully
and jugglingly sold into bondage and ap-
pealing 10 Great Britain TO prevent It.
Following Is a sample of the poem:
Back TO the ancient bitterness.
Ye ended once for all;
Back TO oppression none may guess,
Who have not borne Its thrall;
Back 20 the slough OF their despond,
Helots anew held fast
BY England's seal upon the bond,
As helots TO the last"
Another stanza reads:
Now, even now, before men learn,
How near we broke our trust.
Now. even now, ere we return,
Dominion to the dust.
Now ere gates of mercy close.

That sells Its sons TO serve it's foes,

asked for shilling.

to his rooms. In half an hours time
the butler announced that Mr.. Pom

the master. Now, the master had =
special detestation of the beadle, who,
when admitted and CURLY asked what
he wanted, replied:
"Mr. Gordon informed me that you
desired to see me-"
