The many Belfast friends of Rev. a. f. Luce
of Old Town will be int crested in the following
item from Bangor paper: REV. A, E. Luce

party of six members of his Sunday school

fishing under the present law. They trolled
and caught splendid string of fish, both bass
and pickerel.'
A MARROW ESCAPE. Bucksport Narrows
was the scene of near tragedy Saturday
morning. June 2Sth. Three Winterport boys,
Percy Clark John Cook and Norman Cuddy
We're rowing in a small, double-ended row
boat, when a rowlock broke, and the boat
capsized. One of the boys, John Cook, who
had just returned from Bangor hospital and
who was too weak to swim, placed on the
boat, which was floating, bottom up. Norman
Cuddy's strength then gave out, and he too,
was aided onto the boat by Percy Clark, who
followed the line of the least resistance in the
tide, and managed to get his load to the Bucks
port shore above the tannery. The unfortu-
mates were seen from the shore, and were aid
ed to the home of Mr.. J. Mariner, who later
drove them to the Center. They reached their
homes about 2 p. m. and were in the water
nearly two hours. The bravery of young Mr..
Clark, who lost his clothing and watch, is much
commended, and the parents of the other boys
feel the deepest possible gratitude to him as
he undoubtedly saved the lives of his two COM
panions.
