At Home Thursday; Away Friday

Mckeever, Lima Shovels' mound star,
were too much for the Readrite
softball team last Friday night and
the locals went down to defeat by a
score of 6 to in contest under
the Harmon field lights.

hit game the preceding week, struck
out 16 Bluffton batsmen and let the
locals down with but four safe blows.
In three innings he retired the Read

Lewis, Bluffton moundsman, gave
up only nine hits, but the visitors
punched them with walks and errors
in two innings to cop the decision.
In addition to hurling stellar ball
all the way, McKeever hit home
run in the fifth inning with two
men on base.

Friday gave them the lead in the

she SHOT AN ARROW"

THE capture of the important Span
i ish fortress of San Lorenzo by Sir
Henry Morgan, the famous English
buccaneer, was not due to his expert
generalship as much as it was to
strange chain of circumstances over
which he had no control.
In his command were a number of
pirates who had fought well for the
cause. One day, during the siege of
the fortress one CT these men was
pierced in the side by an arrow. The
cutthroat pulled it from his flesh VOW
ing to send it back to the Spaniards
as fast as he could. He had no bow
but, In his anger. he used the one
weapon he had his musket.
Wadding cotton around the end of
the arrow, he crammed it into the bar
rel of his gun, took aim and fired. The
missile went sailing over the fortress
wall and was lost from view. 1t was
merely gesture of revenge. No one
dreamed of the consequences.
But the cotton was kindled by the
powder which in turn set fire to the
thatcl ed roof of building inside the
fortress. The Spaniards were franti-
cally trying to get the flames under
control when the creeping fire reached
the powder magazines. They exploded.
bursting part of the walls, and Morgan
rushed in to capture the stronghold.

DENTISTS
In this town she found very cur
ious custom in dentistry. The dem
lists hang all the teeth they pull on
a curtain in front of the store and
success in this field is measured
largely by the number of teeth
hanging in front of the dental
parlor.
In the Javanese islands she saw
many peoples who standards of beau
ty among women were measured by
the sharpness and pointedness to
which the teeth were filed.
The captain arranged for her to
ride in a camel caravan to Cairo,
Egypt, where she met the boat. Be-
cause of the heat of the desert and
the insects, this was one feature of
her trip which proved to be dis
agreeable.
In conclusion she recommended the
tramp steamer as a very unique and
interesting way of travel provided
that one is willing to do without
certain luxuries of the regular pas
senger steamers.

IF ENGLAND can point with pride
TO Grace Darling the famous light
house girl" who in 1S4S rescued five
from sinking vessel off Longstone
lighthouse and made possible the saw
ing of two more, America can boast of
Ida Lewis, who saved twenty-five lives
between 1867 and 1904.
Ida was born in 1871 at Newport.
R. |. When she was fifteen her fa
ther, Capt. Hosea Lewis, was appoint
ed keeper at Lime Rock lighthouse,
in Newport harbor, and moved there
with his family. Shortly afterwards,
the father having become a paralytic,
the stalwart young daughter undertook
to take upon herself some of his du-
ties, and thus became an able oars
woman, strong and fearless, capable
of handling a small boat on high seas
as well as any man.
In the summer of 1858, when Ida
was seventeen, a small pleasure craft
crossing the harbor capsized, upsetting
four helpless passengers, all men, into
the water. From her lighthouse top
Ida saw the situation and though the
day was a stormy one and the waves
beat furi0usly upon the shore, she
launched her boat, sped across the wa
ter, and rescued all four.
After that life-saving became Ida's
vocation. Once she went out to the
aid of three men who had set out after
sheep that had been carried out to
sea and had upset in reaching for it in
the water. At two different times she
rescued soldiers from nearby Fort
Adams. In all she saved twenty-five
lives.
Ida became the heroine of Newport.
| On one occasion the Life Saving Be
| nevolent Association of New York pre-
sent her with $50, on another the sol
| diers of Fort Adams gathered togeth-
er $3.50 and presented it to her with
| due ceremony. The General Assem-
| bly, of the state of Rhode Island passed
resolution honoring her, General
| Grant and other dignitarieS at one
time participated in a special cere-
| mony of recognition, and she received
letters and gifts from all over the
world In 1869 the citizens of New
port presented her with specially
constructed boat called the Rescue
| In 1879 by a special act of congress
| Ida Lewis was made keeper of the
Lime Rock lighthouse.
She held her post for 81 years
When, in 1911, it became known that
the heroic woman, then almost sew
enty, lay dying in the lighthouse which
was her home, artillery practice a
Fort Adams was suspended, that hel
last hours might be spent in peace.
