Sewell E. Stetson, Box 77, Manchester, 
Mass.” 
This ad., inserted in a matrimonial 
paper, is what brought Sewell E. Stet- 
son a wife. An account of the roman- 
tic circumstances leading up to the 
marriage of the two was given in last 
week’s BREEZE. 
Mr. Stetson arrived at Mechanics’ 
Falls, Me., last Saturday afternoon, 
and at 8 o’clock that night he and 
Miss Rose E. Lunt were united in 
marriage by Rev. Henry F. Burden, 
the Congregational minister. Wednes- 
day the bride and grocm arrived in 
Manchester on the 4.13 train and were 
showered with rice at the station by a 
number of friends who had awaited 
their arrival 
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Newell (Miss 
Stetson) of Essex, who were married 
last summer by this same Cupid, spent 
the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Stet- 
son, Wednesday.

Marooned on Ram Island, 
Robinson Crusoe with all his ex- 
periences and thrilling adventures on 
the desert island was never more lost 
than were three Manchester men for 
about an hour Tuesday afternoon. 
George E. Scott, Robert Allen and 
James Nazzaro were the three unfor- 
tunates. With guns and plenty of 
ammunition they started by boat from 
West Manchester in the early after- 
noon and landed on Little Ram Is- 
land. The thermometer was around 
zero but that did not make duck 
shooting any the less attractive, so 
they went at the sport with a will. 
While thus engaged the gunners 
did not notice that the wind had 
changed and the tide had risen and 
their boat had been carried out into 
the icy water more than 50 yards 
from shore. 
Nazzaro, who is a barber, was the 
only swimmer of the three, but his 
courage failed him when it was sug- 
gested that he swim out and get the 
boat. 
It looked pretty bad for the three 
men. It was getting along towards 
night and if their predicament were 
not discovered from the shore they 
would have to spend the night on the 
island. They fired their guns in the 
air several times to attract attention, 
and waved their hats. Leslie Mason 
who was also gunning, on Smith’s 
Point, saw the boat adrift and the three 
men signaling. He went to town and 
with Special Officer Leary started 
with a boat in Smith’s express pung 
for the point. Meanwhile Martin Ol- 
sen and another workman at Lester 
Leland’s place near the West Man- 
chester station saw the signaling of 
the marooned gunners and put off in 
a boat and rescued them. They say 
they do not care to repeat their ex- 
periences again for awhile, at least.

Another Shock. 
Chairman Allen of the Manchester 
Board of Selectmen, suffered another 
ill-turn while at his office Monday 
afternoon and has been confined to 
his bed since. This morning he was 
reported greatly improved, but in all 
probability he will not be out for some 
weeks to come. Mr. Allen has not 
been well for some months, and only 
about six weeks ago suffered a shock. 
Though his last attack was not so 
serious as the first, his health is such 
that he will not in all probability do 
further work in his office as select- 
man.
