sea, at her mothers summer cottage on
Spruce street. On Tuesday afternoon
Miss Pavitt and Carl Reamer, the
AngIesea M. E. minister, took a swim
in the Hereford Inlet, lasting the bet
ter part of an hour. A coast guard in
a motor BOAT patrolled the waters while
the swimmers ~dispoTted themselves.
Miss Pavitt has quite a reputation in
the aquatic line, having swan a few
years ago from Anglesea to Stone Har-
Dor in two hours and forty minutes.
This was considered a great feat because
Of the foam and the pillows. Swim
ming in the ocean is not so easy as it
is in still, calm water. Hazel's sister,
Myrtle Pavitt Is said to be even a shade
better than Hazel in buffeting the bill
lows and Throwing them aside," as
she cuts her way through the deep
blue. Carl Reamer, by the way, is
something of a swimmer, too. He says
that when he was a boy he ''almost
lived in the water"
Last Sunday there was a narrow es-
cape from drowning for three Philadel-
phia visitors, who came down to fish
on that day. They were Rudolph
Schatz and Henry Schatz, brothers, and
Samuel Schatz, a son of one OF the mer
named. These three persons had hired
a row boat for the purpose of fishing,
but being inexperienced in the hand
ling of a boat, and ignorant of oceans
ways, their little craft was carried way
out shortly after four p. m. by an I'M
usually strong ebb tide, and the oc-
cupants had a close call from death In
the waves. Losing an oar, this crew
was helpless and when the boat filled
with water the first time, they sue
ceeded in bailing much of it out and
thus kept afioat for a time; but when it
filed the second time this trio of nov
ices was to much exhausted to make
further efforts and all said their prayers,
nev again ex Expecting to get back alive
to terra firma. Fortunately for these
persons, the watchful eye Of Captain
Shaw's lookout man in the coast guard
coming tower detected their sad plight
and a motor boat sped out to them
like a shot. Their joy in being so luck
iIy rescued, was u~nbounded and they
could not thank the rescuers enough.
They were SO profuse in their express
sions Of gratitude that they begged
Captain Sha " to accept a box of "Per-
fectou cigars; but he declined the gift.
These men are cigar makers and that
is how they came to have a box OF
cigars with them and to offer the frag-
rant havanas to to the Coast Guard
Captain.
Fish are still scarce and the pound
catches moi very big. OF the other
fishermen, Pete Munson, OF the boat
Harvey, has been the luckiest, and in
n week caught S 1000 worth; chiefly
porgies. When fish are selling at $25
a barrel, it does not take SO many bar
rels to net you SIS, 900. Munson's catch
on one certain day amounted to $2,27O.
He had a great streak of luck, surely;
but 1t may be q long time before he can
repeat the past weeks catch.
Last Wednesday, Anna r. Sheer re-
opened her light lunch and Ice cream
cafe on the Anglesea wharf. The King
of the winds chuckled when he thought
last April he had put Mrs. Sheer with
others permanently out of business;
but old Boreas was wrong In his calcu-
lations. To look at Anglesea front
now, you'd hardly be cognizaut Of the
fact that a storm ever struck it.
The wings of the stork seem never to
grow weary, and once again it brought
a little girl to Anglesea, depositing the
precious parcel on Sunday morning
last, July IA, 1918, at the home of An
drew Hansen, 112 E. Sd DR..
Mace is apparently on very good terms
with the busy stork, as scarcely more
than a week had elapsed since little
Beatrice Braidwood was brought to
Anglesea in the same quiet unobtru-
sive manner.
Last Sabbath day, Carl Reamer, pas
tor Of Anglesea M. E. church, exchang-
ed pulpits with Rev. Harry Garrison,
of the Erma Tabernacle" NJ. E.
church.
Charles F. Sanders received a postal
card a few days ago from Leon Whea-
ton, post-marked Winchester, En-
gland" He stated that he was in a
rest camp, in beautiful rural England;
but expected to leave for France any
day. He said further hat ''boys are
all well and happy" The card that
Leon sent was a picture postal, very
expressive, entitled "Why Tommies
Bring Home Their Gas Helmets.u
