Islanders End Lengthy Cruise to Adventure Island Camp

Dream Girl captained by Charles A. Kinney and crewed by Jimy Fleming and Jimmy Kerr returned to Wilmette harbor after storms forced shelter stops at Egg Harbor and Great Lakes Naval Station. The north shore boys established a temporary camp on a new island near Fish Creek, planned for Adventure Island, and named trails after helpers while filming camp activities. Despite severe weather the season stayed healthy with only a chicken pox case and minor injuries, maintaining the camp’s long record of no serious accidents.
