RESCUED FROM LEAKY


 John Gilmore, civilian employe at Fort Terry, Plum Island, and Sergeant Mur- phy of the Fort Terry detail, were res- cued from being drowned or at least car ried out to sea, by Captain E. H. Mur-, ry, keeper of Little Gull Island light, Sun day afternoon at 4.30. The men were in a leaky and rapidly filling dory in the stretch of water known as the Race be- tween Fishers Island and Plum Island.
 The two men had started to row to Little Gull Island early in the afternoon but when "a short distance from the is- land the boat sprang a leak, and they were forced to abandon the oars and take to bailing out the boat.
 Meanwhile an offshore wind sprang up and the boat was blown around the east end of Little Gull Island, and out into the race. The tide was on the ebb and the waters Gf the Race, rushing to- wards the ocean, were choppy. The boat was shipping toward the open, when Cap tain Murray witnessed the, mems plight from the tower of the Little Gull Light. He hastened to their aid in the station launch, but due to the rough water con siderable difficulty was experienced in transferring them to his launch The feat was finally accomplished and Vith the dory in tow. and sinking rapidly, the launch was headed for Gull Island. The men were nearly exhausted when Cap tain Murray reached them, and for this reason they were taken to Fort Michie on Gull Island because the distance was considerably shorter than to Fort Ter ", and they were in need of medical attention. Before the launch had pro- ceeded very far, the dory sank below the surface of the water, and when beached at Gull Island it was found that one oi the seams had ripped open.

Public Health Nursing Shows More Calls

nurses, Miss Kate Mackenzie, Miss Mary Maher and Miss Margaret Reed.
 The town is divided into t1rs7 districts, and in her own district eacn nurse makes the tuberculosis calls as vel as all soth- CTS. Under this system of 3istricting the city and generali2ihg the work and through the generous gift of secon'l Ford coupe hy the Onris+r1as tuberculosis seal committee, the gain in the number of daily calls is conspicuous. From Jan uary l to June 1 the three nurses have made 3,296 calls, d daily average slight ly in excess of nine calls for each nurss.
 Daily calls, however, are by no means the sum total of the duties Of tne staff, In addition to bedside nursing. t1a work includes latte l2ace at tine tuberculosis clinic and the chilire7's Cbnic, with fol- low-up work, and the writing of daily re- ports.

 Each nurse has one months vacation during the year and in 1920 during the vacation season. through the courtesy of the Norwich chapter, American Red Cross the two school nurses in their employ l filled the places of the regular staff nurs- es off duty. This year the department has been fortunate in securing the ser vices of Miss Hope Wade for the vaca- tion months Miss Wade is a graduate of Hartford hospital This will enable the superintendent and the other nurses to have their annual vacations.
