WE'RE OUT IN STORM.

Fourteen young people, members of the Rule Shop office force, enjoyed an outing to Saybrook yesterday on the power boat "Alverno," and inci- dentally learned something about life on the rolling main as far as the Con- necticut river could demonstrate it, for on the return trip they felt the effects of the high wind which later in the night developed into full gale pro- portions. The trip down the river from Middletown was thoroughly en- Joyed. The party stopped at Rock Landing for lunch, which was pre- pared by the young lady members. The wind kicked up a choppy sea on the homeward voyage and a couple of the young ladies suffered from sea sickness. They reached Middletown about o'clock and bid a thankful "sood bye" to their stout craft for the more comfortable and steady going homeward bound trolley car.
