CORRESPONDENCE.
A Rescue at Sea.

North Sedgwick, Dec. 6. 1924.
To The Ellsworth American:
Reading the story in The American
about a winter trip to Cuba, re-
minded me of an incident related by
Capt. Dorr, who now resides in Bar
Harbor, which is as follows: Sew
eral years ago he commanded fish
ing schooner hailing from Bucks
port. In returning from the Grand
Banks with a full fare of fish, he
sighted, few miles to leeward, an
object that proved to be schooner,
bottom up. He lowered boat and
sent two men to investigate. They
reported it to be a new schooner, and
there seemed to be pounding from
inside. Interested, he took crew
and axes, cut hole through the
hull, and found two men alive. He
took them on board his own vessel
and landed them in some port, |
think Halifax.
If living, Capt. Dorr is wearing
an elegant gold watch, suitably in
scribed, presented to him by the
English government.

A YULETIDE SONG.

Many, many years ago,
Shepherds watching DER their sheep
Saw a star, which seemed to glow
And beckon with a promise deep.
They followed, and now it led
To a stable where within
Lay a babe in a manager bed,
And beside Him were His kin.
The babe was the Christ child fair;
OF Him had the wise men told;
And the people from everywhere
Came this wonder to behold.
They lay presents at the feet
OF Him who would be so strong;
Then with hearts and voices sweet
Softly sang Yuletide song.
