When William G. Abbott,
owner of Abbotts Shipyards in
South Milford, sent men to un-
load two carloads of heavy
timbers for use in laying the
keel of a large boat now under
course of construction, the men
found that one of the four tim
bers shipped to him, was not
on the cars. These timbers
weigh over three tons each
and are about sixty feet in
length. He notified the freight
agent of the shortage, ard was
informed that the shipment
had been made to him. The fol-
lowing day the timber was
found in the lake beside the
railroad. 1t is supposed that in
the shifting of the cars the
timber was dislodged and fell
into the pond.
