-Four Fair Haven young men had
disagreeable experience in motor boat
on Sunday and one that they will not
forget in long while. Joseph Hall
William Stone, Carl Turner and a lad
named Chaffee started down the river
Sunday afternoon in Halls launch.
Early in the evening when off Fort
Hale, the gasolene engine refused to
work and the boat began to drift. All
efforts to patch up the machinery and
start the propeller revolving utterly
failed and it was decided to anchor.
Then the lads began their work on the
machinery again, but their skill was
powerless to cope with the trouble. Fin
ally they gave it up and as the rain
began descending in liberal quantities
they crawled in under the cabin trunk
and decided that as there was poor
chance of getting of the craft until
morning they would at least keep out
Of the rain. The grub was scanty and
they passed a weary night, hungry and
lonesome They also knew that their
families were worrying about them. AT
about $3.50 Monday morning their dis
abled boat arrived back at its mornings
and their relatives and friends were re-
lieved of no little anxiety, and the way
they attacked a good breakfast was a
sight to behold.
Business will be quite generally sus-
pended in this section Of the city to-

the day There will be trips to the
country and the shore and many launch
parties will go down the harbor. The
weather forcaster promises that the

| danger of rain, anyway.
