Several weeks ago Milan Day of
Boothbay Harbor began to be troubled
with bunch in his forearm and the
bunch grew more troublesome Last
week DR.. H. c. Barrows performed an
operation and after considerable diff
Guilty removed from the flesh a piece
of window glass over three quarters of
an inch long. a quarter of an inch wide
and the ordinary thickness. There is
another bunch showing nearby and
Mr.. Day expects to have this also cut.
The glass had gone from one side of
the upper forearm clear through to the
other side. Mr.. Day is the only sur
vivor of the terrible explosion at the
Standard Oil boat Petrolia Ii in Rock
land over sixteen months ago. Capt.
Mansfield Toole and Cook Fred Abbott
were killed or died afterwards. Mr..
Day was terribly burned and had
many broken bones and his body was
full of splinters and glass, the most of
which was removed at the time. He
is pretty we'll recovered now although
stiff yet and the sight of one eve is
practically gone.
Something like two months ago a
real estate broker in Philadelphia
wrote to Fred B. Reed of Bath a
letter of inquiry regarding land with
80 or 35 it. depth of water border
ing and explained that he was act
ing for a concern that would, when
established. start with 1000 men, in
creasing that number to 5000 en-
ployees. A location, with price. was
found satisfactory to the brokers'
clients. but the deal hung fire. This
week Mr.. Reed received a letter from
the Philadelphia man. stating that
the corporation had obtained site
nearer to New York City and that
the Bath deal was off. but that he
would remember the site offered on
the Kennebec in case of future in
quiries.
Capt. John Seavey. who was in
Boothbay Harbor last week. has had
the best season he has ever had in his
forty odd years as mackerel fisher
man, although this season was much
the shortest for him, for his new YES
sci, the oil-burning Lucia, was not
completed and equipped with the
Diesel engines until May. She was
after the mackerel only six months and
ten days. The total stock of the Lucia
this year was $4,000 and each of the
crew shared s1123.19. Last year Capt.
Seavey's stock was only $4,000 which
was nearly the best year he had ever
had.

One Piscataquis county resident who
keeps tabs on the game conditions re-
marked Friday afternoon that it is
rather remarkable that up to the
present time, no fatal hunting acct
dents have occurred in this county
since the opening of the game season
in October. I'm going to rap on wood
though" he declared. 1t is a fact.
however, that Piscataquis county has
been free from hunting accidents this
season though during several seasons
past many fatalities have occurred.
With its great wooded area where big
game abounds Piscataquis county
probably has more hunters than any of
the other of the 16 counties in Maine.
The woods are filled with hunters at
the present time and. if the season
ends without a fatal accident it will,
in the minds of many, be remarkable.
