STEAM LIGHTER IN
CIRCUS STUNT, ROCKLANDr

Rockland Me-, July 15.-The steam
lighter Sophia did Circuit stunt here
yesterday while being put on the
beach for the purpose of having leak
repaired. The lighter careened when
she struck the fats and went over on
her beam end, spilling $50 tons of
sand and causing four men on board to
cling to the rigging for dear life.
Seemingly ashamed of such actions,
the lighter righted. none the worse for
the spill except that much Of the cargo
was lost.
