GUNNING PARTY GETS I 0 "COLD FEET-! Captain 'George P. W. nU. ll and crew j H consisting of Messrs. H. S. Kntherford, ii Samuel F. Eldredgc and another am - ! 0 man whose. name we. ■ Iiave forgotten.'! n shipped on the good ahip ""Bank Skiff* i for Mr. • Rutherford's 'punning shade ( 5 which is located in the wjlds of the ; K great meadows near Stoije ffarbor. for | J: the purpose of shooting a boat load of i I "blackies," diving fowl or in faet any- 1 > thing that had a reputation as being jv fast on the wing. Capt. WentzeU to j h make sure of a successful voyage equip- J S ped his engine with a new set of start- I ing batteries and every other heedful j d article. The time arrived for a start F and the captain grabbed a eoal oil can and proceeded to prime the faithful motor. However this parvietnar motor is a gasoline burner and irould not con- t descend to make a single "kick" while 1 being fed with the common -place kerosene. After many turns and a like num- ( ber of primings it was decided to ex- F periment with a little gasolene tonic for a the nerves of this high strung engine — S and the experiment was very successful. I A quick run was made to the shack, 1 where a fire was started and things * were made comfortable for the night. \ and the crew turned in for a refreshing f sleep before beginning a great slaughter I in the early (horning. Well, you remember Tuesday night — and so does this dauntless crew, of the "Bank Skiff." About 1.30 A. M., the wind cut loose I and drove the water -high on the mead* i ow. The old shack trembled and so did the crew. Mr. Rutherford jumped from, 5 his cosy bunk with a loud cry. "Man the i boats! ! !" A second command was not required. All hands were up in an instant and fell into their clothing— and 1 oilskins — and then into the boat. Were they scared? Oh No-o — only beating it while the beating was good. > This was not all of it, for after the motor had run a few minutes the propeller entangled in the grass until it resembled a. huge ball of hay, and all f the motor could possibly do was to ! make a big noise. The sailors by this ' time had become thoroughly alarmed at the prospects of going to sea via Here- t ford Inlet, in the blackest kind of a < night. Quick wits or great excitement i caused them to toss the anchor over and hold on aa fleet they could in the teeth ! of the sixty mile hurricane until day- 1 break, when the friendly Grassy Sound J 1 station loomed up in the distance. } A grand breakaway for said station • was then in order where they dried 1 their clothing and waited for the train ' for Cape May. j« The argument now is "Who was the 1 most seared member of the party." |l BAPTISTS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Memlier* of the First Baptist Church I held their annual meeting on Wednes- ' day evening. The ladies of the eongre- . i gation prepared and served supper to about one hundred people, after which the - re|«>rts of departments were read and approved. The church records show i that every tlnng is in n flourishing eon- 'i A dollar campaign for the jiurpose of ' raising $3000 to complete the payment ' on the recently purchased lot will now be in order. The members have agreed to mail 3000 letters requesting a eon- ■< tributiou of one dollar eacli from their friends. (Your letter will arrive within a few days.) | A suggestion for a floor plan for the : new church was presented to the members. The plans show a social hall and mtnnasium 40 x 72 feet, without a post or break. A modern Sunday School, with class rooms has also been provided. '

It certainly appears to be safer to ride on the Pennsylvania Railroad trains than to do anything else.
