 Sound.

A wireless despatch was received in New York Wednesday from Fire Island stating that the steamboat Manhanset of the Montauk Steamboat company, with about twenty passengers on board. had broken down in Long Island sound and was being lowed toward Green port, l.. l.
 No fears were entertained for the steamboat, which plys between Green port, l.. l., New London and other ports in the eastern end of Long Isl- and sound.
 The wireless stated that the Man hanset suffered some damage to her propeller while off Orient Point, Long Island. A launch was sent to the Manhanset from the United States scout cruiser Salem.
 Upon arrival at Greenport It was learned that the steamer dropped her propeller while nearing Plum Gut, in Long Island sound, and was forced to call for assistance Nearby craft gave immediate aid and she was lowed back to Greenport without mishap.
 The accident occurred while heavy sea was running and the steamer pitched violently. Twenty odd pas sengers on board were inclined to be panicky but no one was hurt. A de- feet in the propeller shaft is believed to have been responsible for the acci- dent.

arc alike. This must be accounted for
III the fact that both Lucy and Joseph
had heard the elder Smith relate his
VISION many times: that thcy bot

made was not held in their respective
memories quite in the same way.
In fact. if one read the Book of Nor.

be able to see that the Ncphi described
IN the Book of Mormon was almost a
duplicate of Joseph Smith himself. and
that the Lehi mentioned in this notable
piece OF fiction is the counterpart OF
