There was some excitement at Cres-
cent park. Houlton, recently when all
the cottagers and visitors rushed to
the shore to find out what was COM
ing. The noise sounded like the
German airship which many people
claimed passed over the town a few
weeks ago. After looking in the d.
rection from which the noise was
coming all were thunder struck at
seeing a queer looking object racing
on the surface Of the lake. Interest
was at its height when it was discov-
cred that it was a boat built by Lee
land Ludwig, son of L. o. Ludwig of
Houlton. The boat was built on the
plan Of a catamarAn with air pro-
pellers. 1t sat but a few inches out
of the water. Young Ludwig and two
friends were dressed in bathing suits

all directions, making it impossible
for one to keep dry. The boat went
like the wind, having 20 horse power
engine installed which Ludwig had
taken from an old automobile.

granite. One morning after a rain,
he was looking at the old underpin-
ming and there on rock lay this cent
having been washed free of the dirt
and mortar by the nights rain. 1t
had evidently been lost many years
before. for its condition showed little
use and the UNDERMINING had been
there many years. He also found at
the same time and now has in his pos
session an old-style pewter spoon, in
good condition and apparently but
little used.
