Cauthorn. Mr. Cauthorn said, "we were cutting up a wood log on the beach in front of Keady 's place when we noticed a brown lxat going at a rapid rate down the main channel. As some of the the boat Guilders on the bay are in the habit of trying their new Iwats in the surf at the mouth of the bay we thought nothing of this and thought they would surely turn back before, the danger point was reached. What confirmed our opinion in this was the fact that the boat was deliber ately headed down stream. We continued at our work until the boat was quite a distance out towards the bar when Mr. Keady again called my attention to the boat with the remark that their must be some thing wrong. From the position we occupied it would have been im possible to render-any assistance even at the time we first noticed the boat but we started down to ward the mouth of the bay and in a few minutes we saw .the -boat with at the top price.
