 The boat which was owned by MT, Rancher is an eighteen-foot launch with a small engine and soon after the party left the dock at the training quarters of Captain John Bond 1t was caught by heavy wave which cap sized the frail craft. The boat at the time was only about seventy-flve yards from the dock. The cries of the men attracted the attention of Dr. and Mrs, F. T. Sharpe and MT. and Mrs, Butler of Derby, who were in launch q short distance away and also the men at the training quarters. They hurried to the rescue and suc- ceeded In saving all of the party but the two children, under difficulty, as the gale had increased and the waves were then very high. After getting the men to the shore the rescucrs tried to find trace of the children but to no avail.

TO HELP THE BLIND.
Y. M. c. 4. to Furnish Recreation to Those Who Have Lost Their Sight.

Some time ago a number of the members of the boys department of the Y. M c. A. were organized into a Social Service Circle" having for its object the helping of those who cannot help themselves. It has been suggested that there are probably in the city of New Haven quite q num- Der of blind people who are obliged to remain at home day after day be- cause of their atiliction and that prob ably the majority of these people would welcome an opportunity to get out into the open air and walk about If they had some one to act as their guide. The first definite line of ser vice that the boys have consented to enter into Is that of being of ,isc to such blind people as would appreciate the opportunity of enjoying exercise and fresh air on these beautiful spring days. A. Francis Kottcamp of the Y. M. c. A. requests the names and addresses of blind New Haveners. Having received such names he will be glad to call personally upon these people and make arrangements for having two responsible boys call at stated times at the homes of the blind for the purpose of taking the latter out for an hour or two as the case may require. MT. Kottcamp through the Journal-Courier asks any one who knows of blind people to send him their names and addresses and do so at once.

 He is here simply to discover dishes which will please the American gour- met when abroad The fact is just cause for national pride. That the American palate has claims to refne- ment which European chef feels bound to recognize points to gratifying progress from the culinary conditions which prompted Voltaires complaint that England had "twenty-two re- ilgions and only one fish sauce"
