The regular night watchmen go on
duty in Mrs at o'clock and are
shifted atR hour intervals through
! out the nigff.
The lovely moonlight nights have
been appreciated by all and most es-
peclally by the scouts on guard duty
! at night.
Up to the present writing, the
scouts have been defeated in two
games Of baso ball with the Che
beague team, and it has been very
noticeable hoS easily the scout can
take defeat, simply because he is
taught that defeat does not down him.
On Thursday night, outsiders were
given an invitation to visit the camp
from 7.15 to 8 p. m. The scouts were
happily surprises to see so many
guests inside their lines, and Mr.. F.
Il. Hare, the Scott Master in charge
called the boys all together inside
the circle of burning cat-ta!ls which
mad previously betn saturated In ker-
osene, and while the grounds were
all lighted, he Questioned the boy
scouts in regard 10 the aim of the
Boy Scout movemtnt, the laws. yjr-
tues, pledges, salutes, scout song. etc.
The scouts answers to the uues-
tions as asked by Mr.. Hare brought
forth much favorable comment from
those present and gave the visitors a
clearer vision of scoutcraft.
The scouts then escorted the Wis.
itors through the camp, gave three
rousing good cheers in honor of their
guests and soon the lights were all
out and everything quiet.
On Monday the 7th, the scouts fold :
ed their tents, lowered their large
American flag and reluctantly gave a
parting salute to Chebeague in all her
beauty and to their new friends and
acquaintances.

New Petition
NOW BEING CIRCULATED AT
BAILEY ISLAND

For Bridge Between orrs and Bailey
Islands.
new petition is being circulated
at Bailey Island now for relaying out
a bridge connecting Bailey and Orrs
Island over the narrow Wills Gut.
1t will be remembered that a few
years ago a similar petition was
drawn up and work was even started
on building the bridge. An injunc-
tion was brought against this however
which was granted forcing the giving
up OF the work. The petition which
is being brought up now is drawn up
with the idea of making new lay
out for the bridge and has been signed
by large proportion of the people.
1t is expected that the matter will be
brought before the selectmen of the
town OF Harpswell shortly, and given
hearing. Thirty days notice will
then be given before any action on
the matter is taken. The island resi- :
dents feel that the construction of
such bridge, by which direct con-
nection with the mainland would be
made, would very much increase the
business and general trade at the
Island, and cite many advantages
which the improved accessibility to
the mainland would bring.
