Have you noted those three weary,

down these shores? Don't accost
them; they have had brain-storm.
1t dates back only few days to lit
tie cruise from this Cove. They hired
an able sloop and went eastward with
rollicking breeze to Rockland. Owls
Head and the Muscle Ridge channel
presented no difficulties. But on their
return, they had, in spite of an early
start. abundance of head winds and
plenty of calm. Toward shutdown
they approached Pcmaquid. Then the
breeze collapsed, Then that night
they driftcd. 1t rained. too. and
of course no one had oilsllins. Owing
to the inccssant roar of Pomaquid
the Tyros three stood watch together.
With dcadcncd eye and meallcss body
they fearfully and wctfully awaited
the dawn. Morning brought a breeze
and though they reached Point speed
| lily they are still often abscnt-minded
and easily discontinued. Their i'll
| luck simply must come from the fact
that their vessel was skidoo-it was
