piumed her plumage and neatly
brushed out her cage with her port
side wing. 'Now that the war is won
and the necessity for food conserva-

gree, feel that / may indulge In my
favorite dish without serious damage

And the wealthy munitions worker
who overheard the remark bought her
on the spot for $1,000 cash. saying
that she should be surrounded with
luxuries for the rest of her days, yea
though she lived to be as old as the

SEE GODS HAND IN RESCUE
Natives of Rimatsra Ascribe Their Es-
cape From Death to Miraculous
lnterposition.

Saved by the hand of God" is the
way the nine natives composing the
crew Of the S0-ton schooner Oromana
characterize their escape from death,
after having drifted helplessIy so days
on one of the loneliest bits of ocean
In the seven seas.
When the wreck of the 0romana
was towed into Papeete harbor, Tahiti,
one Of the most remarkable voyages
known In these waters was completed.
The vessel, two-masted schooner,
owned by natives of Rimatara, an
island about 300 miles southwest of
Tahiti. left her home port, without
cargo, bound for the island Of Rurutu.
in the same group. where she was to
undergo repairs and take cargo of
copra for Tahiti.
Two days out, she was struck by a
storm, which carried away, both her
masts and later her rudder, leaving
her helpless derelict
With never a glimpse of land or sail
to give ray of hope. the oromana
drifted for so days. After Is days the
supply Of food was gone. The natives
managed to catch shark with hook
and line. This lasted them FIVE days.
The rest Of the time they had no food.
An occasional shower prevented death
from thirst
Then the miracle" happened. The
mountains of Tahiti rose slowly over
the horizon. The shifting sea current
brought them nearer and nearer until
they were finally sighted from shore
and powerboat sent to tow them In.
They were too weak to rise to their
feet. but after a few days ashore all
appeared to be rapidly recovering from
their experience.
The natives say the hand Of God
guided their craft. for the prevailing
winds In these ATTITUDES are from the
northwest, direction which would
never have brought them to Tahiti.

OBITUARY.
C. WILLIAM oRrSpAL.

c. William Grindal, one of Ellsworth's
leading business men, died suddenly last
Friday evening at Kennebunk, while
driving in his car. Mr.. Grindal bad been
in Boston short time for medical treat
ment, and was driving home alone.
Two clergymen, talking together on
| the street at Kennebunk, about s'oclock
Friday evening, noticed car coming
| toward them, going slowly, but wabbling
uncertainty from side TO side. just before
the car reached them, the man at the
wheel slipped forward from the seat, the
wheel being brought sharply around and
1 the car crashing into a telegraph pole.
| The man in the car was dead when the
| bystanders reached him. Papers in his
pockets leo at once to his Identification,
and the family here was notified.
Death is attributed to apoplexy. Mr..
| Grindal was man far above the average
weight, and had been subject to attacks
of heart trouble. He bad repeatedly told
friends that he expected to go out quickly,
as he did.
Harry c. Austin went on to Ken
nebunk to take charge of the body,
arriving home with it Sunday morning.
c. w. Grindal was born in Ellsworth
May Is, 1874, son of the late Charles II.
and Lucinda (Bennett) Grindal. AS
young man be entered the grocery store
OF his father on Water street, and was
associated with him in business several
years. With the retirement OF his father

business, his son took over the business.
OF natural business and executive
ability, he soon enlarged the business,
branching out extensively in the whole
sale grain and feed business, and con-
stantly acquiring new property on Water
street as his business was enlarged.
Later he purchased the coal business OF
the late Frank S. Lord, and few years
later he closed out his retail grocery
store. During the past few years he
had devoted all bis time to his coal and
grain business.
Mr. Grindsl will be sadly missed from
among the younger business men OF
Ellsworth. Courteous always, square in
all his business dealings, and a man OF
large affairs for town the size OF Ellis
worth, his place will be hard to fill.
Mr.. Grindal was a member of Lygonia
lodge, F. and A. NJ, and had recently
taken the first degrees in Lejok lodge, /.
o. OF.
He leaves a mother, a widow, who was
Miss Grace Monohon of Cherryfield, one
son, C. Carroll Grindal, two daughters,
Misses Sylvia V. ana Kathleen NJ

both Of Minneapolis, Mimi.
The funeral was neld this afternoon at
the home, being delayed to allow the
sisters time 10 reach here from Minnesota.

R00SEvELT'S DEPARTING
WORDS TO HIS C0UNTRYMEN

Col. Roosevelt died about A O'Clock
on the morning of January 9. The
previous evening at great patriotic
rally in the New York Hippodrome
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In 1t was
this striking sentence:
I'VE have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag. which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization Just as
much as II excludes any foreign flag
OF nation to which we are hostile,
and we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the
American people"
