ALONG THE WATER FRONT.
The steam yacht Filica, owned by ].
F. Metcalf, was coaling up this morning
at the New Shoreham dock.
After thestorm. the calm, things weer
very quiet along the water front this
morning after a strenuous day yesterday
when everybody was on the alert. There
were a number fminor boating acci-
dents and quite a number of persons
took involuntary baths.
There were very few yachts in the lower
bay yesterday owing TO the righ wind
few ventured out for pleasure
There was sharp brush between the
yacht Edith, winner OF the prize in the
cruising class OF the ocean race to Mon
tauk Point, and the yacht Mignon, while
the latter yacht was returning from Bris-
| tol. During run of seven miles the MIG
| non beat the Edith badly.
There will be launched this afternoon
from the East Providence dry dock
very handsome house boat, which was
built for n gentleman living at Newport.
The house boat Is one OF the most con-
veniently arranged boats seen in this vi
cinty containing eight rooms and bath,
and having a broad walk around the en-
tire length of the boat both sides and
stehn.
The captain of the tug Sweepstakes.
now tied up at McKinnon's water
dock, was telling story this morn
ing about a daring rescue that was
made of a sailor who was incased in
ice-we won't say for how long, for
fear some land lubber would accuse
the captain of telling fish story-for
some time. on being taken aboard the
tug and carefully thawed out and
given n drink OF good sailor whiskey,
| which is known TO bring drowned
man to life, the rescued sailor showed
signs OF awakening and came too all
right. About a year after one OF the
rescuers was sitting In sailors home
when in walked the sailor who had
been rescued and a mutual recognition
| took place.
They tell good story about down
| east steamer captain, which the writer
knows is partly true. Every summer they
have what they call cherry excursion to
Digby, N s., from this particular port,
and they claim that one captain in par
| ticular is known TO get his staining done
In cheap Of not quite an agreeable man
ner 1t is generally pretty rough In the
BAY of Fundy and on the return trip and
after the passengers have gorged them
selves with cherries, this wicked captain
has been known TO stop his boat In the
trough of the sea, with the result that his
passengers have stained the sides with
cherry Juice so that II was not necessary
for him TO haul up for his annual paint
ing This may look like another fish
story. but Il Is true that the writer has
seen the sides OF the steamer so red fron
cherry stain after one Of these excursions
tna, the sides looked os though they were
painted red I'm spots.
