Nearly Drowned by Tide Off
Maine Coast When Fisher
t men Rescue Them.
Chebeague, Me.—Dense fog nearly
cost the lives of. two young Chebeague
Island fishermen, sons of Augustus
T>yer and Capt. John Griffin. The
boys were out in a Hampton boat, glll
Detting off Half-Way Rock, when they <
lost their bearings In the fog, and the
first they knew their keel grated on
a reef and immediately they were
plunged Into the ocean.
By good luck they gained a footing
t on the seaweed, standing waist deep

in a rising tide on the slippery
growth. The moments passed, each
hours long to the anxious boys, who
watched the tide rising against them
with every fresh roll of the sea. Mi
raculously the fog briefly lifted, and
far away two fishermen, Elijah Estes
and Frank York, caught a glimpse of
the stranded lads and went to their
rescue—just in the nick of time.
Dyer and Griffin say they prefer
any other perch to seaweed six miles
from shore in a Maine fog with an in
coming tide.
SHATTERS MORALE OF JAIL
Prisoner Is Robbed of $20 While
Awaiting Arraignment In New
York Court.
New York.—While awaiting ar- -
ralgnment in the court of»spee!al ses
sions in the Bronx, Frank Fatagano,
driver, forty-seven, of 2520 Arthur
avenue, the Bronx, was robhed of
$20 in the pen leading to the court
room. Fatagano was charged with fail
ure to support two children who were
city charges. The amount involved
was $47. An acquaintance visited
him in the prison pen and gave him
$20.
When arraigned Fatagano pleaded
guilty with the idea of making a par
tial payment as evidence of good
faith. When he reached for the
money it was gone, and he cried out
that he had been robbed in the court
room. William Cullen, clerk of the
court, quieted him and Justice Daniel
F. Murphy, who was presiding, ex
claimed : “The morale of the jail has
gone to pieces; there are evidently
some thieves around here.”
Fatagano was paroled and received
time to make the payment for the sup- .
port of his children.

The saving habit—the impulse toward thrift
which was developed during our Liberty Loan
campaigns—will greatly increase our prosper- ■
ity IF CONTINUED.
If we relax, if the effort to save is abandoned,
everything gained during the war will be lost.
Therefore it behooves each and every one of
us to continue to save.
