Fishermen Asleep in the Boat. 
An incident that happened off Portland Head 
when the Tidy-Adly, committee boat of the 
Boston Y. C., was taking the time of boats 
arriving from Cape Porpoise will not soon be 
forgotten, says the Boston Herald. At the end 
of a short line the fast launch Judy III., char¬ 
tered by the club as a dispatch boat, bobbed 
close to the larger craft’s stern. A power boat 
of the Hampton type with two men aboard was 
noticed approaching from the direction of Cape 
Elizabeth. This boat, littered with trawl gear, 
proclaimed itself a fisherman, and it was moving 
fast, too, with much noise. 
On came the craft, black and generally dis¬ 
reputable in appearance, holding a course that 
surely would bring it in collision with the com¬ 
mittee boat or Judy III. Everybody on the club 
craft dropped work in hand to watch develop¬ 
ments. The fisherman came closer, still holding 
her course. In the stern was a man with bowed 
head, while forward crouched another fellow 
with cheek on arms. When the threatening 
boat was less than 50 feet distant she was aim¬ 
ing straight at Judy IIP, occupied by a 
mechanic who became excited. Grabbing up a 
monkey wrench as if to repel boarders, he 
jumped on the hood covering Judy III.’s motor 
and yelled like a loon for the Hampton to keep 
clear. Thrice he yelled with embroidery, and 
in the very nick of time up bobbed the heads 
of both men in the fishing craft. He in the 
stern shoved down the tiller and yanked out a 
wire that “killed” the motor instantly. The 
boat just shaved Judy III. and stopped. Tired 
by long and hard work with trawls the men had 
fallen asleep after setting their course into the 
harbor with no vessel in sight to block their 
way. But the committee boat and Judy III. 
had arrived and anchored while the fishers were 
in the Land of Nod.
