Bath Men On Lake During Great Gale
Judge John J. Keegan and Owen Ledyard returned Tuesday from a Grand Locke stream fishing trip in Washington county. They caught eight pound speckled fish on a pond in a canoe as a gale hit the lake. Sheets of water driven by wind drenched them, a fall of trees near shore and near catastrophe were averted by the guide. They dried and fished again before quitting as the lake roughened like a mill pond.
