'NOBODY LOVES A FAT MAN..
SAYS SHEP CAMP. ACTO'


Nobody loves a fat man." exclaims
Shep Camp sadly. as he plays the
character of the sheriff in THE
Roundup" which is at The Play
house Thursday Friday and Saturday
and the roars of laughter seem to
give the indication that his senti-
ments are those of the majority of
playgoers. And it is well to bear
in mind the advice recently given by
a Chicago doctor He says that in
choosing a husband it is we'll TO
avoid all thick, gaunt and cadaverous
candidates. They do not make cheer
full, contented husbands. They are
likely to get peevish if the breakfast
food is undone and are given to find
ing grounds for complaint in the cof-
fee. The best husband is the man
whose principal dimension is cir
conference. Choose one whose waist
has become but a vague memory and
who has nice round face. A regular
moon-faced man is said to be the best
of all The supply of moon-faced men
is. of course, comparatively limited
Still, by proceeding cautiously and
without undue haste in the matter,
any enterprising girl ought to pick
out a likely husband.
Remember the boy they used to call
Fatty" at school and you'll bring to
mind a boy that everybody liked. Look
at the fat men around you and you'll
usually find a sturdy influence for
good in the community.
Now, after that, does anybody love
fat man? If not, why?

nomination for Sheriff. He was appoint
ed to this position last May by Gov.
Haines after John w. Ballou, who had
held the berth for 80 years, was removed
by the State Legislature under impeach-
ment proceedings for alleged nonenforce-
ment of the prohibitory law. Sheriff
Oliver has issusd public letter in which
he says:
81 have now been sheriff for 10 months
and l can honestly say that the law has
been effectually enforced in this county,
and without Partially or favoritism. In
doing this, have spent my own money
freely, without regard to whether it
would be repaid or not. The number of
cases of drunkenness brought before the
Bath Municipal Court from May 9Th to
Dec. 81, 1918, was 81, as against 149
for the same period in 1912, a decrease of
So percent, and the result has been &C

Schooner Elisha Atkins

Reaches Port After Trying Experience.
The safe arrival in port at Baltimore
of the schooner Elisha Atkins, command
ed by Capt. E. L. Hichborn of Stockton
Springs, has been reported, but the de-
tails of what might have been another
ocean tragedy will interest many. The
Baltimore American gives picture of
the schooner and of her commander, with
the following report:
Stripped of all it's lower sails, the rud-
der head twisted off, and with minor
damage about decks, the four masted
schooner Elisha Atkins, commanded by
Capt. E. L. Hichborn, with cargo of
phosphate rock from Tampa, Florida,
reached port yesterday afternoon, termi-
mating what Captain Hichborn declared
was the worst trip in his thirty-five
years. experience following the sea.
Specifically the Atkins does not show
any evidences of the terrific pounding it
received, but a survey Of the decks and
the booms and gaffs, on which was no
canvas, gave evidence of the mighty
power of the wind and seas. With a
jury rig, consisting of chains attached
to the rudder, the schooner sheered from
side to side behind the tug Dauntless,
which towed the vessel from the Capes.
While the men suffered only slightly
from the want OF food during the trip,
the cold and exposure and the long vigil
showed on their faces, and it was need
less to ask them whether they were glad
to be back at this port. Immediately on
arrival the Atkins was anchored on Can
ton Flats and later the vessel will be
berthed at Hubbard Fertilizer Works and
the Miller Company's plant to discharge
its 2, 900 tons of rock. Captain Hichborn
declared that they all owe their escape
to the staunch and powerfully built vessel,
whose hull kept tight during the pound
ing and wrenching from the seas.
A detailed account of the trip given by
Captain Hichborn is as follows:
We sailed from Tampa February 18Th.
The Atkins passed over the bar two days
later, and with fine weather passed Fry
ing Pan Shoals. 1t was then that a
strong northeas,er struck the vessel and
under reefed sails carried the schooner
out into the Gulf Stream. February 18th,
at a. m. the gale increased in violence
and heavy sea which reached Is feet in
height, SWEPT amidships of the vessel,
carrying away the mizzen sail and leav-
ing nothing but the bolt and leach ropes.
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1914-04-02
STEERING GEAR BREAKs.

On the following day to make matters
worse the rudderhead twisted off and
during tremendous sea the crew work.
ed all that day rigging up chains over the
side of the vessel, which were attached
to the rudder in order that the vessel
could be guided. Each succeeding day
the force of the gale carried away some
portion of the vessels sails, flooding the
deck amidships, making it impossible for
the men to attend to their work.
While several of the crew were on the
forecastle deck making repairs to the
forestaysail, foretopmast and preventer
stays, seas continually swept the vessel
and they were compelled to remain for
ward for two hours before it was possi-
BILE to go aft. One heavy sea struck the
power launch hanging on the davits, car
rying away its keel and otherwise dam
aging the boat. The taffrail aft aid win
dows in the after cabin were broken and
seawater flooded the apartment.
The worst, however, was yet to come,
for at a. m. March 10th, heavy north
east squall struck the already crippled
vessel and in less than three minutes all
the remaining lower sails were torn into
ribbons, the main boom broken and hurled
about on the deck, smashing things up
generally. For eight long days the stormy
weather lasted and as near as | could
judge the vessel was within 200 miles of
the Virginia Capes. 1t was on March
18th. at 5 p. m. that steamer was sight
ed, steering east. Signals of distress
were hoisted in the rigging, and notwith-
standing the steamer passed within one
tention was paid to US.
tkrr frll tj,sn u,
18th, at p. M, the steamship Verdi was
the supply of provisions would not last
should the schooner again be blown off
its course, request was made for pro-
visions, which were gladly given by the
master of the Verdi, which then proceed
ed. By degrees the Atkins was worked
in until soundings were reached and the
vessel was anchored within one and a
half miles of the buoy marking the sunk
en- Monroe. off the Virginia coast.
CUTTER TO THE RESCUE.
The main thing was to get reported,
and the following day the steamship On
tario came within easy distance and then
sent out radiogram to the revenue
cutter Onondaga, which had been sent
out from Norfolk to our assistance. The
Onondaga at p. m. Wednesday took us
in tow and at $40 a. m. Thursday we
passed in the Virginia Capes, where the
tug Dauntless, of the P. Dougherty Com
pany, took the vessel in tow, proceeding
to this port.
Immediately on arriving Captain HIGH
born visited Gray, Irelan & Co., local
agents, to announce his safe arrival,
after what he asserted was one of the
worst voyages in his experiences.
After discharging its cargo the Atkins
in all probability will be taken to local
shipyard, where repairs will be made.
New sails will be procured, and it is ex-
pected that within a short time the YES
sci will again Re ready to 60 to sea.
