Shipwrecked on Sledge Is.
Nels Swanberg late last night;
rescued three “sailors” marooned
on Sledge Island, who had lost
their boat.
Taking advantage of the good
weather, Wilbur Arnold, with his
sen Ray, and Fritz Chambers, left
yesterday in the Tommy Johnson
motorboat for Sledge Island.
While exploring the island, the
tide carried away their boat, so
they were left stranded until they
were missed by their families.
The missing boat was located
afloat, and brought safely back
with the adventuring “land lub
bers,” early this morning.
