Thus we rode on several hours
Down through Maine.
Now we've reached our journeys end
Down in Maine;
Where Penobscot waters wend
Down in Maine.
We have driven many mile
To greet our old friends with smile,
We have come to stay awhile
Here in Maine.

SUNDAYS SHOWERS. The electrical
showers Sunday were the most severe
for several seasons and did much dam
age to the trees, gardens and streets.
On some of the side streets the water
rushed in torrents down them the full
length leaving only rocks and small peb-
bles on the surface. On Spring street
near the school house the sidewalk was
washed away, the drain pipes broken
and gutter about eight inches deep cut
into the side of the roadway. Branches
were torn from the shade trees and
thrown into the street. The hail stones
were very large and the flashes of light
ming binding. Many were unable to
sleep and remained up until after mid
night. At Lake Quantabacook the water
rose several feet and the wind swept
in waves against the cottage doors and
windows at the upper end of the lake.
