Five Islands Knights of Pythias Candidates Brave Fog
A Bath night event for Knights of Pythias candidates began with twenty three men leaving Five Islands in Capt. J. T. Minckley’s land. Dense fog limited visibility as they reached Riggsville where cars or transports failed, forcing walkers and car assists. A canine scare and vehicle mishaps followed, but most of the party were eventually fetched from Little Sheepsot and brought home.

Bay Point Cottages Close for Season Amid Social Buzz
Nearly all cottages at Bay Point close for the season while remaining owners enjoy mild seaside weather. The Spinney Brothers erect hedges for herring and smelt near Indian Point. A fire destroyed Walter Lewis’s Indian Point camp as he and his wife were away. Frederick Wagg, Lewiston mill overseer, bought Captain Oliver’s lots and plans a bungalow for Mr. Wagg on Second Point overlooking the ocean. The Wagg family will occupy for a full season, boosting local social life. Capt Warren remains comfortable though Dr Stott delays a plaster cast for his leg. The mayor’s friends hope for his swift return. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bowman still live at the Willows on the Narrows.
