In MernOriam

In loving memory of my dear
husband, William Walter Hum
phrey, who left this vale two sad
years ago, June 29, 1887.
He had a CHEEKY smile, a
pleasant way,
A happy hand to all he knew,
He was so kind, so generous
and true.
On earth he nobly did his best,
Grant him, Jesus, heavenly
rest.

POTATO HAULER,
FATE OF VESSEL
BUILT FOR WAR
Intended as Mine Layer,
She Missed the Boat

In twenty years of her life at
sea there came to the gouty old
lady of a freighter Penobscot her
second great event today. And
the day found her not dressed for
the occasion.
Her battered plates Clipped and
streaked with red lead. she lay
warped at the municipal wharf
here. uncomfortable under the un-
accustomed tread of congressman
on her steal deck. and the wholly
unusual flicker of flashbulbs in
her face of salt streaked bridge.
The immediate occasion was the
unloading here Of some $50 tons
of Maine potatoes, direct from
BuckSport. Me. 1t was the first
shipment of it's kind here, and the
"Aroostook County diamonds" will
20 via the Sanitary Grocery
Stores to your oven in the next
couple Of weeks.
CAPTAIN TALKS
A Down East" delegation of
Representatives Oliver. Smith and
Brewster watched the unloading.
j. M. Sterling, of the Southgate
Produce Company. hustled about
supervising the RATS of 100-pound
bags as they came out of the
Penobscot's hold. G. C. Miley,
Sanitary buyer, stood around, kid
ding the photographers. A score
Of onlookers made up the rest OF
the gathering.
Only Capt. C. J. Boudreau was
inclined to talk about the old lady
herself
"She's old, sure. But she's
still all right in sea. And she'll
still kick out her nine knots
come any kind Of weather. She's
o lady"
II the Penobscot was listening,
it must have seemed to her
far cry back to the day she last
saw Congressmen take any inter
est in her.
That would be back in 1918,
when she lay on the ways at
Savannah. Bands were playing
then, and gay bunting decorated
the speakers platform. Riveters,
in S12 silk shirts for which they
never bothered to buy the collars
drove home the hot bolts in her
steel ribs.
It was 1918.
The Government had taken her
over as she was being built. In
stead of the ordinary vessel she
was intended to be, they gave her
a number and called ner a mine
layer. The Big Triangle. and the
patrol Of the North Sea. and the
bright face of danger lay ahead.
THEN 1T HAPPENED
But she was not afraid of this.
for she was younger then.
And then something happened.
The war stopped before she slid
into the sea. Nobody wanted a
mine layer. So for the next 13
years she was in merchant service.
Hauling lumber, hides, potatoes,
anything she could get.
