yesterday it would appear that the old
quarry near North street came very near
Tuesday to being the scene of tragedy.
The place is used by the youngsters of
the neghhorhood as a swimming pool.
and the water looked so inviting Tuesday
afternoon that two women of that neigh
borhood decided TO take a dip. and so
they went in. One of the women is very
stout and as she waded in she stepped on
slippery shelf of rock and, slipping, slid
OF into deep water She could not swim
and the other woman could not help her,
but seeing her friends danger she shouted
for help. Luckily her cries were heard
by soldier from Camp Cleaves who
CHANGED to be in that vicinity. and rush
ing in the direction from whence the
cries came he reached the struggling wo-
man Just in time to pull her from the
water as she was about unconscious The
name Of the hero was not learned.

1t is said that the trucking facilities
which formerly existed on Squirrel Island
in the shape of a sedate steed and the
necessary paraphernalia which went with
him. to wit. harness and cart. have been
laid by. and that until someone provides
Ford truck or some other modern con-
veyance for the purpose the islanders win
have to do their own baggage transfer.
Under these circumstances. however, two
Augusta young ladies who went to the
island a few days ago solved the prob
lem. for themselves at least, by having
chld's express cart sent to the island
on the same boat on which they took
their departure. The cart is big enough
to carry two suitcases, and to judge from
the letter which one Of the young ladies
sent her father yesterday the cart was
good investment. for in speaking OF the
cart she said that 1t worked first rate and
that made $50 with 1t the first day they
were on the island.
