RIUSCUE BOAT ALSO BAULKED. Ard Two Kingston Men Had An Unpleasant Time. A local contractor, who went to Kingston Mills on Friday had a rather eventful trip. He made his way down alright and was return- ing against a heavy wind when the engine stopped near Barber's point. The contractor made a brave at- tempt to coax the baulky machine but without avail. He was obliged to telephone to the city for help which a friend promptly volunteer- ed to give, and he soon arrived with another boat. The neighborhood of Barker's point, however, proved ungenial to this engine also, and it refused to work. Both boats were stalled, and as the water was quite rough, all hands got a good wetting. At last a passerby noticed their predicament and towed the two helpless ones home, CALL BELL SYSTEM That is in Use in the General Hos pital. .
