PETREL HIT AGAIN
Rammed by Motor Boat, Bow- spirit Is Almost Carried
 Away.

As a result of the southwest blow which struck the local harbor yester- day the twenty-one foot Seawanhaka knockabout Petrel, owned by Captain John Hackett of the New Haven Yacht club almost suffered com plete disablement for the rest of tho season.
 A motor boat by the name of Lett ter B, owned by the Electric Launch company of Bayonne, N. J., which was on Its way to be delivered at Bu1- zard's Bay, put in the harbor in a d's- abled condition and anchored slightly In advance of the Petrel.
 The anchor, as a result of the high wind and terrific sea that was run ming, began to drag and in a short time the launch was pounding Cap tain Hackett's boat.
 A boatman from the yacht club put out and in short time had the two boats separated.
 The Petrel besides being scraped, conSlderaDly had seCuon or ner ISn- der rail started and also had her bob' stay taken off
 The Letter B did not escape from the fray without injury. the planking1 on her port side being consi lcrably damaged.
 The accident to the Petrel yester-l day calls to mind the injury which the boat suffered almost at the same time last year.
 Rev. George E. Kidd's boat, the Porgy, In notheast gale also dragged her anchor and smashed Captain Hackett's boat AS result the Pet rels bowsprit was severely damaged necessitating new one.
 The accident to the Petrel yester- day will not keep her out of tha weekly race on Saturday. | The Cavalier, owned by Charles Warehouse, Is undergoing repairs at Crampton's yard from a recent acci- | dent

and as this unwieldy behemoth of the
pen came into view the mysterious
black hoop also appeared on the sky
line of the slope and began to bow
down the incline towards the river.
Perhaps the SOW was up there mere
ly for rootings, but when she saw the
rolling hoop, instead of tucking her
snout down and fleeing. as the men
thought she would, she squealed like
some monstrous, disgusting fury, and
turning square, hurled her tremendous
body with the speed of vicious horse
down upon that apparition.
The spectators saw the uncanny cir.
Gle let itself out like frightened
thing, and leap and spin through the
air towards the river below. But the
SOW behind was not only racing now
she was being shot down the slope as
from a catapult with the weight of hel
own monstrous body, and in less than
80 seconds she closed her vicious
fangs upon the mysterious black hoop
AS she did so. the apparition seemed
to vanish into thin air, and the mer
believed that the SOW, too, had beer
cheated. But instead of giving up the
chase, she hurled herself upon some.
thing that, instead Of going upright
like revolving wheel, went fiat in
the grass, feeding and granting as con
tentedly as If at the trough.
When the four men reached the vo
racious animal, they beat her off with
sticks and stones and investigated her
capture. 1t was great black snake
fully IL feet long, and of unusual thick
ness for that species.
Every evening at shutdown, high up
near the clump Of trees at the top OF
the slope, this snake had come from
it's lair-which was wide-mouthed
ground-squirrel hole-and cunningly
thrusting it's tail into it's mouth, had
erected it's body and bowled like a
hoop down the incline, to disappear
into an opening in the ground near the
river bank. Every evening it did this.
save on those rare occasions when,
either through alarm or to diversity its
actions, it bowled uphill.

not man invented that most useful
device-the wheel.
