that they were not as bad as at first
reported, that no amputation will be
necessary, and that he is making
satisfactory progress toward recovery
Major Swan was enjoying sail on
Casco bay with a house party, on
board an auxiliary yacht. He was
walking past the engine when he
slipped, and his right leg went into
the fiy-wheel. The flesh of the calf
of the leg was terribly torn, and

in Brookline, but may not be
able to walk much for a month or
more. Mrs, Swan was not with him
