DOWN IRE COAST
IN SMALL BOAT
Four Marylanders Venture
On Long Passage in
a Batteau
ARE BOUND TOR F5 ORIDA
Sailors Say They are Enjoying the
Trip and Consider the Boat Quite
Safe.—Expect to Make Money
in Fishing Business.
Foiur venturesome mariners arrived
ini Hie city last night, having made
the trip from Ocean City, Maryland,
to Brunswick in a .small boat ia jnnt
twenty days.
The party consisted of Gus Bo:i??on,,
Frank Ltutnoce, Hilaries Tas-aii, and
a more hardy, brave and venturesome
trio worn id be hard to find.
The boat is a seventeen foot bateau
of plain and .substantial make but
hardly sufficiently stout in -genera] ap
pearances to warranit tlie average
land lubber 'vitii confidence in its
sea going capacity. It was provided
with a small 3 horse power gasoline
engine.
The party steamed out of Ocean
City and struck out boldly down the
bay out to to sea and remained out
side until they reached Beaufort when
they took tiie inland passage. They
continued their way down tho coast
stepping four days at Swansborb. Al
ter leaving tills place they made for
Wrightsvillo where they stopped for
two days. At Southport they were
running short of gasoline but they
were unable to buy even a pint at
.bis place.
Tiie first rough weather they struck
wa?; near Charleston aud they remain
ed there continuing there passage a
few days ago.
The boat is too small to bear a
name and the story of the four mar
iners has to he told with out a name.
Tho boat ia owned by Frank LSal*anco
ol the party and till.-; is the first trip
of the kind tiie craft has made aud the
ownter and his companions are per
fectly satisfied and pleased with the
way she behaved.
The young men da not seem to
think that they have done anything
out of the ordinary in taking this lung
voyage, a part of the time out on the
ocean, in such a smali buiat. None
of them had ever taken a trip like it
before 'but still they seem to think
that there was nothing remarkable in
it.
The tact that they had encounter
ed good weather made the trip an
enjoyable one. While enroule they
lived dni- hard tack and canned goods
but when they went into camp they
sjpread themselves a little and lived
a great deal better.
The party are on their way to the
southern part of Florida where they
will engage in net fishing. They wiil
use tiie same craft for fishing and
the expect to clear about siuu each
on the venture. They leu here last,
night 011 their way to Fiorina.

“WHY SMITH LEFT HOME." j
This Popular Farce Comedy the Bill
at the Grand Tonight.
Broadlmrst’s creations are always
laughable ones but probably the one
"Why Smith Left Home,’’ which is to
lie presented at the Grand tonight Is
is the ufnniest in the entire repertoire
of this great playright and fun-maker.
The play this evening comes with
’the best list of any comedy that has
been hero this winter and it is to be
hoped that they will receive liberal
patronage at the hands of Brunswick
theatergoers.
The company presenting tie attract
ion this evening is one of the best 011
tiie road, carries a fine line of scenery
some genuine artists and if compli
mentary reports are to be believed
it is one of the best farce comedies
on the road.
ANOTHER COMPLAINT ENTERED.
The News Will Probably Have to In
augurate a “Kick Column.”
Editor News:
1 wish to trespass on your valuable
space long enough to enter a com
plaint concerning some of the cus
toms that obtain In Brunswick, and
to ask if there be any redress for tbe
victims of these customs.
First and foremost, I wish to pro
test against the very rural practice
of tethering cows in the principal res
idences squares and near tiie princi
pal streets aud thoroughfares of this
city.
It would seem that people who are
able to pay a man to milk and care
for cows could require that tho man
should tie these cow.s in some loss
frequented place whero they can do
,110 damage either to tbe appearance
of the squares and streets or to tho
passers by.
Due of these animals is daily teth
ered in close proximity to a certain
flower yard where she browses cheer
fully ou tiie hedge and roses vines
she easily reaches over the low fence
The owner is impervious to omuplaints
and seems for some reason to be im
mune from any danger of the docket.
The question of how much a cum
nuinity or an individual should stand
in the way of depredations from ma
rauding cows and flocks of hens and
other nuisances of this sort, should
Mo defined by law.
It is certainly tryin* trj
labor lout” by having tme U.Jnoor’s
chickens eat our choicest roses, thud
and bloom) on - to have cows destroy
ing flower gardens or making un
sightly our residence squares and the
sufferers intend to adapt drastic meas
ures to remedy the trollies.

tive of The News yesterday, and he
stated that the handsome structure

months.
