KID LLOYD WINS
E. SHORE TITLE

After winning practically all of the
way in battle for the welterweight
boxing title of the Eastern Shore at
Centreville last Friday evening, Hen
ry Gonzales, pride of Kent county's
fistic circles, ran afoul of Kid Lloyd's
Sunday punch and wound up outside
of the ring. He failed to return be-
for the count of ten and Lloyd was
credited with a knockout victory.

"Have you noticed, there's only one
thing looks very queer. l don't think
I've ever seen a tropical island as dark
as this one ahead-and I've seen lots
of them first and last-and look at
those little keys-they're as black as
basalt. l can't understand it."
The conversation was now much less
difficult with the motor cut off and as
only the screaming of the wind thru
the guy wires was breaking the silence
the flying boat glided gently down to-
wards that strange black land set in
sea of unhealthy yellow.
Presently they approached the
nearest of the keys and Carnforth, at
Struthers' command, leveled pair of
marine glasses, the better to seek a
safe landing.
"Well?" inquired Struthers impat-
iently, what do you see? Hurry up
I've got to make a landing"
But from the mechanic came no re-
ply. Struthers looked and was amaz-
ed to see the mechanic sitting rigid
in his seat, and his hands holding the
glasses trembled perceptibly.
"Well?" demanded Struthers harp
ly, whats wrong? Are you crazy?"
"Goshw cried the mechanic in awed
tones that betrayed his complete dis
NAV. "That amt no island down
there, it's a-a-big wrecked ship
that's barely afloat! l can see the
stumps of her masts-and them other
keys amt keys at all-they're all
wrecks an derelicts headed towards
the island yonder."
There was strained pitch to the
mechanics voice that made, Struthers
think that the other had suddenly gone
mad, but at the same time a great
light burst over him.
"Look!" he directed. "Look at the
: big island"
Carnforth obediently lifted the
: glasses and promptly laid them down

TRAPPE-EASTON HIGHWAY
SOON TO BE WIDENED

The State Roads Commission ex-
poets to begin widening and straight
ening the highway between Trappe
and Easton early next year if one
more right of way can be obtained.
According to present plans of the
State, the road between Trappe and
Easton, considered one of the most
dangerous in Maryland, will be wild
ened to sixteen feet and all the worst
curves Strengthened enough to allow
motorists to negotiate them safely at
ordinary driving speeds.
The State also has another plan I'M
der consideration which contemplates
the consideration of an entirely new
highway from Trappe northward. Sur
veys for the location of this road, still
in the embryonic stage, already have
been made. Complete reports were
submitted to the State Roads Commits
sion several weeks ago. This road
would pass to the east of Easton and
eliminate all railroad crossings south
of that town. The highway, if it
should be built, would furnish high
speed artery to northern points to resi-
dents of Talbot, Dorchester and coun-
ties to the siuth.
Preliminary estimates on the cost
of building this highway up the
Shore have been placed in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
Because Of the probability of in
creasing the width Of the Trappe road
early in the spring, only temporary
repairs have been made to the washed
out concrete bridge over the Little
Peachblossom north of Trappe. This
bridge, which went down during the
same storm that flooded Federals-
burg in 1886, has been strengthened
sufficiently to hold it through the win
ter.
Major highway construction in this
part of the Eastern Shore is more or
less in an unsettled stage because
OF the possible construction of dual
highway down the peninsula in the
next few years. Construction of such
a road would bring many of the main
highways at present into the relation
of being feeders to the dual artery.
Should the State eventually take over
the Matapeake ferry or build on of it's
own, the road map on the Shore would
undergo considerable alteration, en-
gineers say, with the probability that
new short cuts would be built to re-
lieve congestion and shorten mileage.

BALTIC. COUNTY FARMERS
MAKE WAR ON DOGS

Baltimore county farmers have con-
tinued the shooting of stray dogs
which have inflicted such heavy dam
age upon livestock in recent months.
John Fox, of N. Rolling road, Cations
vile, shot one of pack of dogs which
killed one sheep and wounded three
more on his farm. The dogs had
wrought havoc before Fox arrived on
the scene. When police arrived the
barnyard was covered with flying
wool and gore from the wounded sheep
several of which are expected to die.
Douglas Parks, farmer living just
south of the almshouse at Padonia,
last week killed two of pack of wild
dogs which week ago dragged down
six months old bull on his farm, and
have been hunted by police in connec-
ton with three other similar killings

ships all damned close together-hun-
dreds and thousands of ships l tell
you 1 can see 'em plainly-see their
masts-their smoke stacks-ventila-
tors an everything"
At that moment the air became per
ceptibly tinged with an ominous sour
reek that reminded Struthers of that
odor which arises from rags long left
to molder in a damp cellar. 1t was
like the exhalation of some huge and
foul living creature.
They now lowered but few hum
dred feet over the most outlying key,
then drawing a deep breath he look
ed down and beheld, as the mechanic
had said, the heavy, half-submerged
hulk of large four-masted schooner
held tight in the grip of the weed.
He quickly realized that the vessel
below must have suffered terribly at
the hands of the sea. Her four masts
were shorn away clean with the deck
level leaving only few ragged splin-
tiers to tell the tale Of their loss; and
furthermore, the sea was often visible
through her torn and battered bull
warks. AS the Curtiss flashed by he
was able to read her name in bold
white lettering across the stern
"Marie Galante de Saint Malo."
On and on coasted the Curtiss, pass
ing half a dozen such derelicts which
dotted the sea for miles, all apparent
ly headed for the huge rendezvous
ahead. They were at this moment &C
tually sweeping down on the famed
and tabled continent of lost ships
that Ell Dorado of salvage mentioned
only when the bottle is dark only near
the bottom. Here before their very
eyes were ships long dead, the rotting
bodies of vessels whose spirit has fled,

1t was true. This strange stretch

as a woodland pond on a summer
evening when the wallows dip so low
they seem to coast on the surface.
Setting a westward course by COM

while he vaguely endeavored to orient
himself. The molten red sun would
be sinking in that furious scarlet haze
on the horizon. 1t appeared to wear
a great distinctly seen double-halo
about it, reminiscent of the rings of
Saturn-a fact that made the pilot
speculate on it's origin and reason.
Then the mechanic glanced back and
beheld the slim and motionless out
stretched figure with all-seeing
slightly hungry eyes. At nod from
Struthers, Carnforth unbuckled his
safety belt and made his way back
among the overturned chairs. Pres

feet, but in their present situation
this advantage meant nothing-there
was no goal to which to glide. The
motor was missing more and more,
sending chills of dread up and down
Struthers' spine. In agony he ranged
the horizon a final time before set
thing into that final glide from which
the Curtiss would never rise. Then to
his amazement and incredible joy, he
caught the faintest imaginable streak
of black on the horizon, which might
be an island far off to the left.
Instantly Struthers banked off for
it and, gliding as economically as pos
sible, he instructed Carnforth to shut
off the gasoline at the tank. If the
leak was in the gas line, well and
good; he might be able to save small
fraction of the fuel to make a safe
landing, but if the waste was in the
tank itself-well, he'd have to risk
landing wherever he could on those
densely packed masses of weed.
1t was close packed weed that claim
ed his attention as they started the
downward flight, for the ochre-hued
vegetation, seemed unbroken for miles
and miles; but at last as the Curtiss
drew nearer that distant dark streak,
small black dots appeared fringing it.

STEVENSVILLE LAD
BROWNS IN CISTERN

Believed to have stepped on thin
skim of ice that covered a cistern or
reservoir at Stevensville, which is
used for storing water to be used in
case of fire, Karl E. Kolata, little six
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Kolata, of Stevensville, was drowned
when the ice gave way and he fell in.
The reservoir is said to be about five
feet deep.
The little lad had left the Stevens
vile Elementary School, where he is a
first year student with little boy,
Russell Grimes, also beginner.
Upon reaching the enclosure that
surrounds the reservoir or cistern, the
kolata child is said to hape opened the
gate, and stepped on the ice which had
covered the surface, and fell in. His
little companion kept on uptown,
where he told several people that Karl
had fallen in hole.
The father Charles Kolata, who is
CLIPlOyCO Ny LuS OdlClulOE0 dIlu Eds
tern Railroad was notified and upon
going to the scene, found several resi-
dents graphing for the body. He was
recovered about 3:45. The little lunch
box that the child had taken to school
was found nearby.
The child was a member of the Sun
shine Class of the Methodist Episcopal
Sunday School. His father, Charles
Kolata is the Sunday School Superin-
tendent.
Besides his parents, the little boy
is survived by one sister, Miss Ruth
Kolata, teacher in the Chester, Kent
Island, Elementary School and a broth
er, Harry Kolata, also employed by
the B. & E. Railroad.

CHAPTER ii

It did not need his violently out
thrust hand to call the pilots attention
Struthers himself had already read
the CHASTITY news. Sometime during
the hurricane some part of the gaso-
line tank or line leading from it had
broken loose. The tank was all but
empty, and very shortly, the Curtiss
would have to land, helpless on the
sea. Hollow with apprehension, the
eyes of the two filters met in mutual
dismay, for quite abruptly the sky
cleared and the sun appeared once
more-came out to reveal vast vista
of flat barren waters tinged sickly
feverish yellow by an apparently end
less expanse of sea weed. The effect
was odd and Struthers had an impress
sion of flying over a never-ending
field of mustard. Here and there, to
be sure, there were small open paches
of water where the true ultramarine
blueness of the Caribbean shone forth
like a sapphire set around with topaz;
but nowhere was there trace of land
not even tiny coral reef.
For a moment blank despair numb
ed the pilots usually active brain and
it seemed to him he could not think.
How awful it was not to know-not to
have the least idea of where he found
himself. Here he was with his all but
fuelless ship, mechanic, and that
lovely spoiled girl lying white and
senseless behind him. Who could tell
how many weary miles from help or
sustenance they were?
For one thing he felt pang of
gratitude-the motors weathered the
storm excellently-but unfortunately,
that meant little. In a very little
while they would fall silent and then
shriveled starvation, black thirst, and
fleshless death would raise their hid

When the Curtiss had dropped as
far as she might and skinned along
a scant hundred yards above the pois-
onous weed-filled waters, Struthers
switched on the ignition and prayed
that there might be enough fuel left
to carry him to a little space of clear
water lying in the lee of huge collier
that floated redly rusting on the out
skirts of the main wreck pack. Her
two tall tunnels served as an excel
lent landmark.
To his ineXpressible joy, the motor
did cough and roar, accelerating the
flying boats progress sufficiently to
gain precious few hundred feet of
altitude. Then, quite suddenly it chok
ed and stopped dead, forcing Struthers
into a long glade once more which
barely enabled him to gain the edge
of the clear water. With a noisy
splash that Jared the fabric violently,
and furry of lacy foam, the flying
boat took surface and lifted again.
Then came another bump and another
shower of spray; then gradually the
big plan slowed and came to rest but
few feet away from the huge gray
collier whoe curiously arranged cranes
and booms lowered blackly against a
brazen sunset.

On Monday last Parks borrowed a
rifle and hid near the spot where the
body of the young bull lay in thick
woods. Soon, he said, two police dogs
appeared and began to feed on the car
cass. He shot one as it fled, he said,
and dropped the other as it turned to
run. One of the animals was esti-
mated to weigh between $50 and 200
pounds.
Parks also located a rocky den, to-
ward which the second dog attempted
to run and which appeared to be hid
hiding place. Another police dog and
collie are known to be lurking in the
vicinity.
