However, with fine weather, they hoped to hear of their safe arrival. The evening of the second day after the vessel sailed. it began to snow. With the wind steadily increasing in velocity. the "Storm King" was on the rampage in all his strength. There had not been such a storm for some years, barns and Itreee were blown down. and much damage done. The mas- ter marinors of the port were anxious about the schooner. but hoped for the best. About five or six days after the vessel had sailed, the owners re- ceived the aad intelligence that liiy to Friday phone 290 of 15"- We will pay any farmer t-ruchage on his wens on Grafton Sheet. , WIIY NOT PATRONIZE THE CIIARLOTTETOWN PLANT?
