MAROONED
IN TIDELESS POND

MILTON, Del. May 25-Rev. H. r.
Behringer had a curious experience
while fishing in the mill pond here
when his boat ran upon a stump and
left him hanging up in the air. Resolv-
ing TO wait for the tide to rise he SAT
there for over two hours. occasionally
calling for help that never came. Fin
ally he realized that there was no tide
in the pond, and. with the help of Z
long pole. managed to get loose from
the stump. When he arrived home he
found that a searching party had just
been formed to look for his body, as
his absence had led his friends to fear
that he had been drowned.
