Hoard fer Ocean Point. With
merry crowd adeck and q hearty crew
ahelm the vessel glides swiftly away
from the heat of the city to-
ward the magic resort on the sea.
The delightful sail down the Kennebec
river through a widening course amid
overrcaching hills and dales, takes on
added pleasure as we approach the sea.
The stornl-tOssed coast with it's ever
memorable virility assumes familiar
shape and Ocean Point looms large be-

There is only one drawback-if draw
