In speaking of the exciting hunt, Louis very modestly refrained from
 discussing the rescue of the clam hound and said q am thankful for the fact that was not drowned my self and that I was able to get enough clans and mussels notwith- standing the storm, to make clam broth for a large number of sick Fords which I have in the flivver hos pital. Clam hounds are getting very scarce these days and the one I came near losing is the most valuable hound in this section of the country

MUSANTERESCUES ONE OF THE BEST OF CLAM HOUNDS

At great risk to his own life Louis Musante, the popular Middle street commission merchant, rescued one of his thoroughbred pack of clam hounds which had been blown off the beach at Long Neck by the violent storm which swept over that district yesterday afternoon. Apparently the hound had just located a covey of clans and Louis was lighting a straw fire to smoke them out when the wind with cyclonic force picked the hound up bodily and blew him sea- ward
 Louis without hesitation grabbed the lunch basket and threw it fin the direction of the struggling animal which with great instinct made fran tic efforts to reach the sandwiches which he scented. Selecting an Ital- ian sandwich, the hound fastened his teeth in the dainty morsel, which on account of it's being impregnated with immense quantities of garlick was found sufficiently strong to keep him afloat until help arrived.
 Louis, looked about the beach but could not find a thing in the shape or DoaL 10 launcn, so ne pushed one of the huge ice bergs into the water and using it as a raft he padded in the direction of the clam hound which was now at the point of ex- haustion. After a desperate struggle with the raging clements he was able 10 bring his crude craft alongside and rescue the hound.
 The clam hunt was organized by Louis late Saturday night and he had three autos in waiting Sunday morn ing including one to carry sandwiches and one of the big five ton trucks tC carry the seltzer and the kettles tc make the clam broth. At ten thirty it was evident that the large party of clam hunters were deterred from making the trip on account of the threatening weather, so Louis at the head of his clam hounds set off alone
