i Verna, the other evening. The}
proposed to go to boring, but Ve
disposed; and they didn’t go. They
are reported to have drifted around
the channel for hours, trying to in
bice that engine to turn over, but all
ithout avail, and Roy Ryus, who has
always boon considered a “civil” en
eineer. became quite uncivil, and said
things, but even then she wouldn't go.
Along about midnight the tide car
ried the two weary wayfarers back
•near their starting point, so with the
aid of a board, they paddled in and
tied her up, and. believe me, it isn’t
safe to say “gasboat” any more at
the Ryus store.
