STONINGTON
Town Court Prisoner Goes to Jall-
 Funeral of Albert Fritz, Jr.

For years since the abandonment of Stonington as a steamboat terminal the steamboat wharf has been utilized as a berth for steamers of the sound lines that were not in operation. Since the demolition of the steamer City of Worcester, in her day the Queen of Long Island sound, when commanded by the late Horace Lanphere, the Ston- ington steamboat wharf has been practically abandoned and growing into gradual decay. There is consid- erable property connected with the wharf which has become just so much waste land. There is no better site on the Atlantic coast for a big manufac- turing industry, and rumor has it that the railroad company has no farther use for the property and Is making an effort to have a big industry located in the borough. If this should mate rialize it would be but a short while until the borough would return to it's old time industrious activity.

 Storing Last of Ice Harvest.
 Shea Bros. thought it probable Sun day night that their ice harvest would be completed All day Sunday men were at work blowing and scraping, cutting will begin early this morning. Last week the fall of snow covered the pond to the depth of a foot or more. MT. Shea resorted then to a scheme which is seldom if ever used here, that of calking. Holes were cut all over the fields and the water allowed to come up into the snow. The ice Sun day evening measured Il inches. Not as clear as the first half of the harvest put in month ago. Shea Bros, who have cut ice on the Dorrville fields for 30 years, have grown to know all about the business and find that the Ashland pond is slower to freeze than other ponds on account of the rise and fall of the water caused by the draft for the wheels of the mills below. It is also been proven that when the Ice has reached six inches in thickness, that if the ice. is then plowed 1t will
 
 left untouched. The reason is that the cold air enters the blow cuttings.

Melville did his best to dissuade DR..
Farabee from the trip, declaring that
the chances were against his coming
out alive. Or. Farabee refused to be
dissuaded, but persuaded Ogilvie to go

the journey that he did not recog-

that trip is thrilling.
1T was most successful" he said.
From December 16, 1913, to April l,
1914, we were among tribes who had
never seen white men before. All of
them were very interesting. None
had ever seen matches or guns or
salt or clothing before. All had beads
and knives; all wanted fishhoOks, and
many got their first ones from us.
"On our trip into the Waiwai coun-
try it was necessary to reduce the
party to six four Indians, Ogilvie and
myself. A larger party couldn't live
on the country. The tribes live far
apart, often ten or twelve days over
rough mountains and across rivers.
Three-fourths of the time and all Of
the last month we had to depend upon
the game and fish we could catch.

cartridges left-a narrow margin.
