COUPLE ESCAPES
FLAMING BUILDING
THANKS TO BUTCH

He's little fellow, with black
hair falling over his eyes.
He's not quite Scotty-but
sort of a Scotty-type.
But Butch definitely is the hero
of the neighborhood, out about ten
miles, on the near side of the loop
road
An hour before midnight, Sat-
urday, Mr.. and Mrs Roy Cox were
awakened by Butch's sharp, de-
handing bark
Their home was in flames.
Cox broke the window glass with
chair, and the middle -aged
couple barely escaped.
The frame house, part one-story
and part IL stories, was totally
destroyed, the ruins still smold
ering "a hours later. None of the
Coxes' possessions was saved.
Cause of the fire is undetermin-
ed.
Mr. and Mrs Cox are staying
temporarily with their neighbor,
Mrs. Charles Rudy.
The Cox property is the former
Charles Goldstein fur farm. Cox
recently cleared a great deal Of
the place and raised large vege-
table crops.

Grounded Bay Ferry
Relocated; Five Spent
Niqht Aboard Vessel
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 27-The State
ferry John M. Dennis was towed
free yesterday after lying aground
III hours near Sandy Point.
Five passengers who spent all
night aboard the boat were taken
ashore by a tug.
Officials of the State ferry system
said one reason for the mishap was
a $4,000 fire at the Sandy Point
ferry slip which destroyed electric
wires and put out the navigation
lights. Other reasons were high
winds and an unusually low tide.
The fire apparently started with
an oilstove explosion in a combina-
ton clubhouse and Office. The
building was destroyed. No one
was injured, but ferry operations
were halted for about an hour and
a half late Saturday while firemen s
hoses were strung across the ferry
slip.
The John M. Dennis ran aground
Saturday night about 300 yards
north of the channel leading to
the Sandy Point ferry slip. 1t was
on the westbound trip across the
Chesapeake Bay from Matapeake.
The passengers were taken ashore
early yesterday by tug of the
Tidewater Construction Co., which
had been working on the ferry slip.
Several hours later, when the tide
rose, the ferry Herbert r. O'Conor
freed the grounded vessel.
The John M. Dennis ran aground
not far from where the Herbert r.
O'Conor was grounded overnight on
the coolest night of last winter with
125 passengers aboard.
