THE CHESAPEAKE "CUNNERs 4"

Mr.. johnson, in his interesting story "From
Nassau to New York in a Catboat," speaks of
the canoes seen in Chesapeake bay, The
writer sailed in these canoes-localIv called
"cunners"-- on the lower Potomac for several
seasons and perhaps something regarding their
construction, rig and sailing qualities may be
of interest in connection with Mr.. Johnson's
narrative. The smaller canoes are made of
single log or squared timber. The outside s
shaped first and then the inside is dug out and
keel added. The size generally used is
made OF two sticks of timber, which are clamp
ed together until the outside is fashioned, The
two sides are then dug out, leaving four or
flve inches of solid wood at the bottom, center.
board is fitted and the parts are put together
with trunnels Washboards are then put on
and thwarts and mast steps added They
have two masts, with leg-of mutton sails the
foresall much the largest, and carry jib. The
bowsprit has slot in the inboard end that
goes on over the stem and is held in place by
pin. There is no stay and the jib is set flying.
The mast holes are about twice the size of the
masts and the masts are held in place by
wooden plug or wedge. When before the
wind this plug is put behind the mast, so that
it stands upright. On the wind the plug is
put before the mast. giving it rake aft. No
shrouds or stays are used, and in the case of
sudden squall-and on the lower Potomac and
Chesapeake Bay they are severe enough to
cause the big schooners to shorten sail in a
hurry-the masts are unstepped and with the
thrown tha ofc h,1j;
them, so that when the squall is over they
are taken out of the water and stepped These
canoes have no rudder, but are steered with
an eight foot stick that is half way between a
paddle and an oar. 1t is held on the lee side
of the canoe and in light weather is used to
scull the craft along. The principal use of
these canoes is oystering and no other build of
boat would stand grounding on the oyster
beds, as the sharp shells would soon cut
through planking. They are able craft and
good sailers and whenever two or more get to-
gether there is sure to be race If any bal
last is carried it is sand in bags, and in case of
acapsize-which is a not uncommon occurrence
the ballast goes overheard. 1t is matter of
pride with the men who sail these canoes not
to get wet above the knees in case of capsize,
and they simply move the craft goes over
until they are astride her bottom Another
feat is in making andirg on the lee side of
wharf to bring the canoe in head on so that
she just touches the wharf but with not force
enough to break egg. In one of the small
est of these canoes the writer with two COM
panions, enjoyed cruise of about rs miles and
had some interesting experiences which were
written up for Forest & Stream at the tt me.

AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
Three Killed and Two Seriously Injured

Three Killed and Two Seriously Injured
Three members of an automobile party were
killed and two seriously injured Sept. 9th
when their car was hit by passenger train on
the Norway branch Of the Grand Trunk rail-
road in the town of Norway The killed were
Elizabeth Fairclouth of Richmond, students
at Kents Hill, and Harry Smith of South
Paris, driver of the automobile The injured
were William E. Walker, son of Hon. William
A. Walker of Castine and Forrest Conant of
Hebron, both students at Kents Hill. The
former was reported as having broken leg,
broken arm and internal injuries that would
probably cause his death. His parents were
notified by telephone and hastened to his bed
side in the Central Maine General hospital
Lewiston, arriving there Saturday morning
They found their son resting quietly, with
prospects of an early recovery. His left leg
is fractured just below the hip, but there ap-
pears to be no internal injuries. Conant had
an arm fractured and other injuries and will
recover According to Edward Anderson, en-
gineer of the train, the car was going at ton
speed, while Smith, the driver, was leaning
over listening to the working of his engine.
None of the occupants of the car saw the
train in time to give warning to Smith and
Engineer Anderson was unable to prevent the
collision. The automobile was demolished and
the young people hurled many feet away.
The body of Miss Groz was cut in two and
that of Miss Fairclouth also was frightfully
mangled. Smiths body was found entnngled
in the wreckage of the machine. The two in
jured boys were taken aboard the train and
carried to South Paris, where special train
was made up which took them to the hospital
at Lewiston. DR.. Stewart of South Paris being
in attendance.
The young people, who were each about 1s
years old. had been invited by Conant to ride
to South Paris in his car. Engine trouble de.
veloping, visit was paid to the Smith garage
and the proprietor, Harry Smith, took the
drivers seat and sent the car over the road
toward Norway to try out the engine.

CITYPOINT NO1ES.

A beautiful LaFrance rose bush in the gar
den of Mrs. J. W. Vaughan at Citypoint, which
was well filled with blossoms last June, has
during September shown a profusion of buds
and one or two full blown roses.
Mrs. J. W. Vaughan left Citypoint last
Thursday to spend the winter in North Attle-
boro, Mass. The family will be greatly missed
and it is hoped that early spring will see their
return with Mr.. Vaughan restored to health.
Driving through the Citypoint woods on
Saturday the writer witnessed near tragedy
that for moment produced lively sensation
of horror. A spirited horse drawing single
wagon had just passed US. when he was seen
to leave the road on the left side, and attempt
to climb steep bank. Before our ideas were
fairly adjusted to the performance, the nose of
great automobile slowly poked around the
sharp curve ahead of US, at the very narrow
est point of the road, and the frantic horse
passed it and disappeared at a rattling pace
Three feet from where he made his first plunge
was deep ravine, and it was owing to the
drivers good fortune and good horsemanship
that he did not 20 over the light railing as
the automobile swerved to the left and gave
him room to go through. Had he turned to the
Fight instead of the left upon so suddenly &C M
ing upon the automobile he would have been
forced down steep embankment. Even our
own sober and reliable animal looked at the
big machine with a sldewise glance of dis
like and contempt as it so unexpec tedy ap-
peared. The road is particularly dangerous
through these woods on account of its ms nv
sharp curves, and at each end of the woods is
posted warning which reads. Automobiles
go slow. Blow your horns." yet we had re-
ceived no warning of the approach of this
automobile, and we are convinced that this
silence is not the exception, but the rule. We
fear that some day we will be called upon to
chronicle one more sad tale of disaster, added
to the many automobile accidents which arise
from criminal carelessness on the part of those
who, while they hold a license, should be COM
PEELED to conform to the requirements of the
law. P,..
