The old fellow was almost frozen.
for the temperature was still below
zero and the storm raging undated.
Salmon opened his suitcase and
wrapped a sweater around their vet
eran companion to keep him from
freezing to death. Their rudder was
still in working order and this was
their only hope. The aged owner Of
the launch. who knew the lay of the
land, advised them to head TO the right.
For miles they drifted thus and were
on the point of giving up in despair.
They firmly believed that they were on
the ocean past the sandbar with the
only hope that some freighter might
sight them and come to their rescue.
All we're benumbed n half frozen by
the fearful cold. when the keel of the
launch suddenly grated on the sand
bar, about 100 yards from the end of
the sandbar and a straight trip TO the
ocean and death. wThey lost no time
in clanbering over the gunwales into
the icy water, and through marsh, knee
and waist deep at times, until they
reached a CO bin, where "a fire was
built.
1t was then 2 O'Clock in the morning
and they had only o faint idea of their
whereabouts.
At dawn the old man told them of
their serious predicament and said had
they drifted a few minutes longer they
must have been carried out to the
open sea. The party was twenty-five
miles from the nearest railroad station.
so at dawn began a long, tiresoms
journey through the frozen swamps
and morass to tho train n home
for Salmon.

Kline Gives
Mayo Fine
Lacing
Newark Boy Puts Up One of His
Best Fights-Uses Right
Freely.

Patsy Kline, of Newark, o%utpunched
Johnny Mayo, of New York, in a six
round setto last night in the American
Athletic Clubs ring. To win, however,
Kline had to put up a stiff fight. In
the first three rounds the Newark
lad, by better use of a straight jab,
which he invariably followed by a
swinging right to the body, had Mayo
guessing and continually on the de-
fensiye.
But starting with the fourth round,
Mayo threw caution to the winds. took
a chance on Kline's body wallops, n
face jabs, and sailed into Patsy with
fierce velocity. He played steadily for
Kline's body and made that member
a target for his right hand swings.
Time and again he landed hard on
the stomach with a swinging right,
some of his punches causing Kline to
gasp and partly double up. Then he
varied his attack by standing off and
jabbing Kline's face with as pretty IA
southpaw jolt as seen in the American
ring this year. He kept up this sud
den reversal OF form in the fifth round
and at the clang OF the gong had
evened up the advantage Patsy had
gained in the earlier rounds.
Kline, however, came back to his
own in the sixth and last round. He
effectually stopped Mayo's rushes. side
stepped the left iab, demoralized the
Phiiadelphian's attack, so that Mayo
was unable to follow up his advantage
of the fourth n fifth rounds. Then
Patsy started to get busy. He landed
time and again to Mayo's nose, pep
pered %Johnny's body with short right
hand hooks, and went so snvagely into
clinches, swinging lefts and rights to
the stomach. that Mayo was repeated
ly forced to hold tight and close to
escape punishment. The bee ended the
proceedings in Kline's favor. 1t was
a fast bout and a clean one.
