BOSTON. Mesa, Nov. 12—The two- niasted schooner. Storm Petrel of Bridgcwatsr, N. 5., 32 days out and long overdue at Vineyard -~ Haven. Mass. was approaching Boston to- night under tow of the coastguard cutter Mojave. For weeks she has been unreported. but tonight meagre radio messages gave a clue to the battle her captain and crew of three had waded against the fury of the

north Atlantic storm. The fishing steamer North Camber, sighted her several days ago about 300 miles off the Mains coast and far off her course. Her sails were in ribbons and her rigging had been damaged by‘ the storm, which had driven her be- fon it. Tho four men aboard the Storm Petrel had begun to feel the pangs of hunger. The Camber noti- fied coastguard headquarters at Washington, which in turn ordered the Mojave out from Boston.

Due to Increased Cost 0f Production, Re- tailers Claim.

Hlgh cost of production is th: r‘

cause of the recent increase in

cost of milk in the city. local 2'.- tailers state. All local milk dealers increased their prices on Nov. 1, and since that time the retail nlerchants have followed suit. raising the price 2 cents a quart.

As the cost. of llay and grain, is much higher-than last year, and as the price of all mill feeds, most of which are imported. has also iri- creased considerably the increased price has been regarded by milkmen as inevitable. with the price for tur- nips unusually high producers have fr/und it more profitable to sell these vegetables than to feed them. The lucrative prices offered by American cattle buyers have caused a. number of producers to sell their stock and go out of business. and as a result it has become increasingly difficult during the last three months for the retailers to procure their supply.

The increased price is not confin- ed to the Island aJonc. On Nov. 1 a simlllar advance was made in On- tario, n\' about the same time in Ncva Scotlsl and New Brunswick as well.
