Porter, who arrived here today with

his vessel abandoned, water-logged and

Disaster has ended my last three
voyages" Captain Brine said. II be-

thought that superstition was dream.
Now, I've decided I'll never sail again

| Last February. the Lucia Porter was

and in May the schooner was tossed
up OH the beach at Swampscott, al
most wreck and her crew taken off
in life buoy.
After his vessel had been rebuilt,
Captain Brine set out again from st.
John, n. B., on Friday, Aug. II. The
schooner had been out only few days
on her voyage to Las Palmas, when
she was beset by adverse storms. The
waters invaded her hold and swirled
about the decks. Captain Brine said,
tossing the cargo of lumber about so
wildly that some of the crew were in
jured.
| After time, Captain Birnie said,
he and his crew were forced to seek
refuge on the after deckhouse. A sup
ply of ships biscuits and water, their
only food, was nearing exhaustion. and
the, men were in a highly nervous
! state, when the British tramp steam
er Knight Of the Garter picked them
up on her voyage from Norfolk for

Zanzibar's Exile.

The dethroned sultan of Zanzibar,
Aliben- Hamoud, who now lives in
Paris, is a pensioner of the French
government. He claims to be a de-
scendant of Mahomet, but he has, it is
feared, in his new environment, ceased
to be a truly good Mohammedan. He
is called by his intimates Raschid,
which in intended to hint that like
Haroun- al Raschid, of the Arabian
Nights" he is not averse to nocturnal
adventures among the infidels of
Paris, that is to what is known in
palmer English as "slumming." In or
der to crafty his personal taste while
in some sort paying homage to the
tenets of the prophet, it is said that
when he seats himself at table, he is
careful to place the koran beside his
plate and with eyes turned slSyward he
murmurs in Arabic: 20 holy prophet,
may thy koran protect mel" after
which he INDUCES to his hearts con-
tent in wine and pork chops.

sistant dairy instructor. has been max
ing the second inspection of fields
Kent's Hill this week and Saturday he
will go to Pennington Mr.. Rogers finds
that as a whole the potato fields are
keeping unusually green for the time
of year and says that two weeks more
without frost will materially increase
the potato crop in this section. The
field of five acres which he inspected
at Kent's Hill is for the most part as
green as in July and with two weeks
more without a frost can be relied upon
to double it's crop.

Maine will have no State exhibit at
the National Dairy Show to be held at
Springfield. Sept. 1920. according to the
statement made Thursday by Hon. Will

commissioner Of agriculture. Mr.. Cup
till says that to gather and send to
Springfield an exhibit Of sufficient size
and importance to do credit to the State
of Maine and properly represent the
dairy and agricultural resources of the
State would cost in the neighborhood
Of $4,000. and that he does not believe
that the advertising obtained thereby
would be Of sufficient benefit to Maine
to warrant the outlay. For that reason.
the proposition Of q State exhibit at
Springfield has been abandoned.

Canadian Pacific Accident

! The public utilities commission
Thursday rendered a decision in the
matter of the accident on Sept. Is last
at Long Pond on the Canadian Pacific
Railway in which an unknown man
met his death.
| The decision is as follows:
LAS westbound freight No. GOT, Ca
madam Pacific Railway, approached
Long Pond at 6.15 P. NJ, September
| Is, 1916, it ran over an unknown man,
severing the legs, one arm and head
from the body and causing instant
death.
1.-The train consisted Of 81 loaded
cars, one empty and caboose. The at
tention Of the train crew was first at
tracted by the breaks going into en-
Urgency. When the train stopped the
remains of the man were seen between
the rails about 10 feet in the rear.
inspection showed that the air hose
parted between the fifth and sixth
cars, and that the man had apparently
been riding between the cars. Blood
was found on the running gear of the
fifth car, but not ahead of that, and
peanut shells and tobacco on the dead
woods Of the fifth and sixth cars.
1T was suggested either that the
cars uncoupled breaking the hose and
throwing the man off, and coming to-
gether, coupled again, or that he fell off
and broke the hose with his fall. In
any event no blame attaches to the
railroad company or its employees"
