party of people who have been staying
at one Of Bailey Islands popular re.
sorts. The party referred to intended
to take the boat to New York from
Portland last Thursday. They went to
Portland only to find that on account
of the withdrawal of the "Old Colony
from service, there was no Thursday
night boat. They returned to Baileys
and spent the night. The next day
they left early on the $40 a. m. boat
for Portland again. intending this
time to take the day boat for Boston
They had been misinformed about the
schedule on this line and found that
there was no day boat either. At last
accounts it is believed that they fin
ally went by train to their destination
Whatever the cause may be, the sea.
son at this island is exceptionally late
in coming to its height. 1t is true that
nearly all the cottages are filed, but
Miss Munroe's death as we'll as other
local causes have kept back the real
social activity of the island. But real
ly those who want a summer vacation
must welcome the restful quiet, and
view with relief this unwonted condi-
ton. Happily, summer communities
are by no means dependent on social
life, but upon the invigorating climate
which constitutes their attraction.
Bailey Island, nevertheless, combines
both these qualities, and probably in
another week or two, there will be no
cause to complain over lack of things
to do, or functions to attend.
Mr.. R. Huntington Woodman spent
last week very pleasantly on his an
nual cruise on the "Winjoy." The par
ty took an extended trip to the east
ward, along the coast.
Mr.. J. G. Stetson's attractive store.
near Mackerel Cove Landing is fast
becoming a center for visitors. Mr..
Stetson's stock of goods, ice cream.
candy, and picnic accessories is
much enjoyed and is always the best
obtainable. Mr.. Stetson enjoys a grow
ing business which he well deserves.

his cousin, Mrs. D. S. Baker at 1.-THE

Bailey Island is becoming more of a
boating colony than formerly. Beside
the steamer excursions that are fire.
quently INDUCED in, motor boat trips
to nearby points, iOrrs, Sebascodegan
and Eagle Islands, Harpswell, and even
TO New Meadows are taken. Another
form of boating that is unexcelled for
interest is deep-sea fishing. Many are
deferred from taking this kind of a
trip, however, because the best fishing
is to be had early in the morning and
four o'clock start is not the pleas
ATTEST thing to contemplate. Still,
these summer mornings are ideal, and
some people who are not early risers
would do well to take an early trip
some day just for the novelty of it.
The real interest in fishing comes
about eight or nine o'clock when the
cod are biting fast, about ten miles off
shore. When a good load is obtained
the party usually returns, eIated with
their spoils and tired out with their
strenuous work.
