Centreville. Ala.-A lot OF boys In
Blount county recently went fishing
on a creek. and after batting their
hooks went OF to play. They re-
turned shortly and found that one OF
the poles was gone from its place and
was on the opposite side Of the creek.
One OF the boys stripped on, waded
over. caught the pole and pulled. but
nothing would come. and. thinking
that the line was around log, made
the line taut and placed 1t between his
toes and followed It to the obstruc-
ton.
On reaching the bottom something
grabbed his big toe and his compan-
Ions had to come to his assistance.
They pulled the boy out and with him
came 35-pound turtle swinging on
to the boys toe. A doctor was sum
moned and dressed the wound

persons within hearing distance. an
appreciable length of time elapsed be-
fore any one was aware that some
thing wns wrong.
The girl had a struggle with her
assailant to prevent him stabbing her
more severely than he did. But when
at last she was able to emit piercing
shrek he fled across the street into
an alley and disappeared in the dark

and christened by the same Lady
Shaftesbury. who broke the bottle
over this years craft. Captains
Wringe and Bevis sailed her. The Re-
lance and the Shamrock III made
nine starts in 1908. but only completed
three races. all of which were won by
the American yacht. the first by min
utes seconds and the second by
minute and IS seconds. Shamrock
missed the finish line In the fog in the
third race and her time was not taken.
Sir Thomas sent over a new chal-
lenge in 1907. but nothing came of it
save futile 1ockeying. The Americans
would not compete against Sir
Thomas 6S-foot rating sloop. The New
York Yacht club declared that the
Americas cup. held by this club as
trustee, under the deed OF gift, is a
trophy which stands pre-eminently for
speed and for the utmost skill In de-
signing. construction, managing and
handling the competing vessels and
should. therefore. be sailed for by the
fastest and most powerful vessels that
can be produced"
Still Sir Thomas did not give up.
He sent over more offers and after
much parleying a race was finally
agreed upon for this year. Should Sir
Thomas come a cropper with his freak
boat this autumn. there is no reason
for thinking he will not be right back
again. say in 1916 or 1917. He believes
in sticking and he does want that cup.
The cup is now more than sixty
years old. 1t cost less than $500 when
new and would not be worth one-thIrd
