When tbo soldiers were aboard it

Why have the owners of the boat
which we have chartered through tbe
state aent a aouthsider a* a pilot”
inquired tbe sheriff.
“ Because there ia not a man on tbe
north side of the river whom tbe own­
ers would riak with tbe boat,’ ’ wae the
quick reply.
Tbe eieietary of state had wired a
big company at Portland to supply the
militia with a boat to convey it to tbe
seat of the trouble between tbe fith-
ermen of tbe two states and which the
northside state chartered for an in­
definite time. The steamboat men all
lived on the south side of the river,
the seaports ell being on that side.
In sending cot a boat under an emer­
gency tbe company bad picked up/a
pilot who was related to and more or
lrae identified with the sou tha id« fit ti­
er men.
He knew of the proposed midnight
attack of his friends npon the north-
aiders sod did not intend to reach the
aetoal scene of conflict in time for in­
terference on the part of the militia.
He had intentionally left the repre­
sentative of the northside fishermen,
who was to have accompanied the ex­
pedition as a sort of scoot, on the
south shore sod was prepared to evade
a collision with th* belligerents until
his friends should have th* opportun­
ity to do all tbo damage they desired.
