SEA BATHS FOR TWO
Frank Fichtl Suddenly Finds
Himself Precipitated in
the Thames.
CUSHMAN R0ARED IN GLEE
But the Laugh Was the Other Way
When the Latter Also
Fell In"

While on pleasure cruise on the
motor boat Of William s. Cushman Of
Holmes street, West Haven, both the
owner Of the boat and Frank Fichtl,
leader Of the Second Regiment band,
who accompanied him, had very I'M
looked for and somewhat humorous ex-
perience. Mr.. Cushman Is engaged in
carpenter work for the United states
government In connection with the
Fisher Island Notifications and he
started Monday for that place, taking
Mr.. Ficht as guest for the trip. After
visiting the island the two men decided
on pleasure trip before returning
home and they set Off for Norwich As
he was getting out of the motor boat
Into little dingy Mr.. Fiehtl stepped
too near the edge Of the boat and was
precipitated into the water, getting a
complete ducking before he was able to
get out of the arms OF the sea.
AS Mr.. Fichtl was dressed up ready to
go out calling Mr.. Cushman thought II
was huge Joke and laughed lmmoder-
ately at his companlen's dripping
clothes. But the man who laughs last
sometimes has the best laugh. So Mr..
Fichtl went off and changed his
clothes and went on his visit. Shortly
after his return Mr.. ,cushman WAS
working about the edge OF the motor
bout, when he suddenly had the inspira-
ton for deep sea bath. and he like
wise tumbled hastily into the waters
OF the Thames river. This time the
man who laughed was Frank Fichtl
and he played How Dry | Am" with
great gusto when friend Cushman
emerged from the water with norman
drlppings, which required change OF
raimant on his part.
The two men left on their trip Mon
day, and both have returned safely to
this port despite the incidents OF the
trip.
