Cards have been received here this

September 5 at Portland, Ore., of Dr.

Marshall, the young son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Howard L. Winchester, had a 
close call the day before Mr. and Mrs. 
Winchester, who were camping on a 
lake, near Norway, Me., started for 
home. The lad was playing in a boat 
supposed to have been hitched to the 
landing near the cottage when a sud- 
den squall of wind blew the boat 
away from the shore and toward the 
center of the lake, with the little boy 
in it. There were no other boats in 
the vicinity and as the drifting boat 
moved farther and farther away the 
situation began to grow more serious. 
Mr. and Mrs. Winchester were help- 
less on the shore. Finally a lady on 
a little island boarded a small boat, 
after some difficulty, and after taking 
Mrs. Winchester on board, started up 
the lake and caught the drifting boat 
after it had gonea mile and a half. A 
steamer afterward took them aboard 
and brought them home. The wind 
just after that was terrific and the 
fate of the lad, had he been out in it, 
would have been rather hazardous. It 
was a Close call.
