 Seven young people, camping on the islands in Mashapaug Lake, had very unpleasant experience Tuesday night, and their relatives and friends spent sleepless hours in anxiety and fear. The party, taking their lunch, started down the lake for Cat Rocks, leaving their canoe on the north shore. After visiting the caves and eating supper they decided to go to Break Neck and return home by moonlight. Meanwhile the men in camp decided that the canoe was rather too heavily loaded so rowed to the north cove to bring some of the children home. After finding no trace of the craft and it's occupants they searched the shores until II o'clock. They then increased the numl CT in the searching party and with automobile and cornet went into the woods as far as possible. On foot they visited Cat Rocks and Break Neck then followed a trail into Cedar Swamp. At o'clock, after crossing the swamp, in response to a blast from the cornet the lost party was found perched high on the east ern cliff of the swamp. They had built a fire and were eagerly awaiting daybreak. Several of the party were mere children who bravely bore the discontinue of bruises, scratches and torn clothing, incidents in their stum- hling through swamp and underbruSh in the dusk. Joy at finding the lost ones so Overcame the searching party that much effort to retrace their home ward way was fruitless, and it was neceSsary for all to remain in the woods until daylight. It was weary, hungry and bedraggled party that was welcomed hack to the camps at o'clock Wednesday morning.
