On the shore sweetland found
some goods which evidently had
been washed in from some wrecked
freighter. Taking all of it he could
carry he made his way to settle
ment and from there to Buffalo.
Comeaut Neighbors Astonished
In Buffalo he sold the salvage,
made several purchases and then
went down to the wharf. There,
about ready to shove off was the
Traveller" with Captain Charles
Brown in charge. The Traveller was
the Buffalo packet to. west Lake
Erie ports. sweetland shipped on the
steamer, worked his way home and
when the packet nosed in on the
sandy beach at Conneaut he walked
down the gang plank into a crowd
of pop-eyed, open-mouthed neighbors.
To them it was the dead who had
come back. And really there was
something weird and eerie about
the. resurrected deer hunter. Barely
a week had passed since his death
in the middle of Lake Erie-he was
a buckskin clad frontiersman when
last seen and now he had come back
a dude.
Sweetland was dressed in brand
new suit of store clothes. He had
bought his pants-and a coat and
vest, too-with the proceeds of the
merchandise he had found on the
lake shore.

True Tales About Ohio

Concluded from page
battle and Sweetland in his little
craft steadily and none too slowly
was drifting out into Lake Erie.
Solomon stood up in the boat and
waved the paddle. Then he waved
his coonskin cap-then took off his
linsey-woolsey shirt and waved the
shirt. -...
Rapidly turning into a storm the
wind raised waves which rolled the
crude boat dangerously and the
deer hunter was forced to run from
end to end of the boat to keep it
from being lifted and tossed over
by the swell.
Such strange maneuvers attracted
attention on the shore and a rescue
boat put out to succor the distressed
craft. Almost with it came the
storm.
Rescuers Turn Back
The boat almost had reached
Sweetland when the storm struck
with great fury. For their own safe
ty the rescuers were forced to turn
about and cut for land, abandoning
the deer hunter and his dug-out to
whatever fate was in store for them.
The last seen of Sweetland he
was five miles out in Lake Erie and
his boat was plunging in great, awk-
ward lunges towards the middle of
the lake. So, decided the fishermen
and hunters and other good citizens
of little Conneaut, Solomon Sweet
land was lost at sea.
As the days went by the COM
munity became certain of his pass
ing and funeral services were held
for the lost hunter. All the good
things, if any, he ever had done
were recounted and the bad ones
CLOSED over. His widow" put on
mourning and received the condo
lences of the fisher-folk. No grave
had been dug because there was
nothing to put in it--SoIomon
Sweetland had Joined the many who
went out onto the lake and never
came back.
Battles Storm
Sweetland had little time to worry
about being abandoned by his would
be rescuers. He was too busy keep
| ing the boat right side up and try
ing to keep it out of the trough of
the waves.
He even was not worried when,
tired and winded, he lost the paddle
and had nothing left to fight the
waves. Well, if he were going to die
he might as we'll die, like his song
had prompted, Comfortable and con-
venient" so he laid down in the boat,
That, at least, might keep him from
being thrown or blown overheard so
long as the boat remained afloat.
The storm did not abate but dark
ness came. Abandoning all hope
Sweetland went to sleep. 1t would
be a good way to drown--not know,
ing about it. .npe.J
fpor Storm Subsidies
Morning came apd tSweetland sat
up with a start The storm was
over. And there, almost on his bow
was land, growing palmer and plain
or. With no paddle the hunter had
to wait until the pirogue floated
near enough for him to go ashore
The place where he went ashore
was Long Point, on the Canadian
side of the lake. The unmanagable
and clumsy boat had weathered the
hurricane and had crossed Lake Erie.

Mrs. Sexsmith, director, praised
the splendid cooperation of the
scores of volunteer workers and
all tn agencies, clutches and gov

cy and rehabilitation periods.
Without their promptness OF &C

In meeting the disaster-caused

cannot b considered the only

staff in Richland, Mrs. Marjorie

sent hundreds Of inquiry tele-

Red Cross Ends
Disaster Work
In KenneWiCk

TIL task of the rehabilitation of
families in Benton County who
applied to the American RIDE
ross for aid inrecovering from
the effects of the Western Wash
ington-O Oregon Floods. will be
completed this week, Mrs. Kath-
crime Sexsmith, Regional Direc-
tor, announced today.
Red Cross workers plan to close
the disaster relief office here on
August rs, she stated. leaving on
ly a skeleton staff to follow
through on final awards to fam
lilies assisted and to supervise in
complete building and repair
work on homes the Red Cross is
helping to repair or rebuild.
In this county, the Director
pointed out more than $50 fam
lilies have been assisted nj the
weeks since the flood caused 50
much devastation. Money for re-
Mobilization was e x p e n d e d
through local channels Of trade,
an important part Of Red Cross
policy, and another important
part of this policy was the fur
nishing Of aid to families on an
individual bass without obNga-
ton on their part to repay.
Throughout the whole disaster
area, including Washington. Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana, 1880
families have registered. Up to
this time $2.141, $3.50 has been
committed on emergency and re-
Mobilization assistance for 6, 698
families. The majority Of the
1892 families still being assisted
reside In the Portland area where
large numbers Of undundated
hom and small business are being
repaired or reestablished through
Red Cross aid.
"Aid was given on individual
need, not loss, and the aim Of
Red Cross has been to bridge the
gap between what the family can
do for itself and what must be
done in order to return as near
to normally as possible. In every
case, families were urged to do
as much as possible to salvage
