H., july 14, 1929--Much interest has been 'aroused of lat-e am-ong inhabitants of t-he land With- in sight of -Cliffe Island by the story told by two native young ladies. According 'to them a hands-ome bronze-colored Indian was s-een stan-ding proudly erect on- 'the high- est point of Cliffe Island, olothed only in Nature's garb. Approach- ing nearer, to- be sure their -eyes were not deceiving them, they saw him slip calmly into the icy depths of Newfound Lake. Pani-c stricke-n they Hed. Investigating Party Organized Certain members of the staff of this paper, led by your correspond- ent, immediately formed a searching party to investigate the truth of this rumor. Going directly to the place. we eas-ily captured the Indian.

Well, the tide's ,bout high now, so I reckon I'd befst be 'tendin' 'to my business. 'Byef' So knocking the ashes -o-ut -of his pipe and then- inserting it into -th-e top po-cket of his besfp-o-tted v-est, he got up and started over toward the wharf. We thanke-d him for his story and hastened up to the store f-o-r -some ice cr-eam.

After the doctor left, Mr. jackson and some of the younger boys went to the mainland in search of petro-l.
