Amid conjectures as to what had become of it 1t was agreed that the party was stuck. The two men immediately took to a commanding rock and began shouting Justify for assistance.
 After about half an hour of this a row boat was finally hailed and the occupants inveigled ashore. As the boat was already loaded he would agree to take but one of the party along and MT. Bradley then volunteer ed to go ashore with the man and secure another boat to rescue his com onions in. This he did, but before securing boat had to put up for it at the rate of dollar an hour. Under the circumstances even that was cheap and he returned to the island for his comrades in distress.
 After they had embarked and were hitting it up for shore as fast as pos sible MT. Allen chanced to look at the other island. Almost the first thing he saw was the sailing party giving them the "Ha ha," and their canoe carefully tied up along side the sail boat Both parties then went ashore and made it up.
