are paid in Boston. During June there were 153 survivors of the War of 1812 on the rolls,
and 930 widows. There are no Revolutionary pensioners, and only one Revolutionary
widow,-Mrs. Susan Curtis of Topsham. Among the best known who are drawing pensions
are General Joshua L. Chamberlain, $30; General Seldon Connor, $30; Corporal D. F.
Davis, $4, General George L. Beal, $12.50; General Neal Dow, $7.50; and General J. P.

Mr. Cary Lea, of Philadelphia, who owns a fine lot of land on the Duck Brook Road,

The rush of travel to the Glen House, White Mountains, it is said, has been so large
the it has fully convinced Mr. Milliken of the necessity of an immediate completion
of an extensive building as originally designed, and work will probably be commenced
at the close of the present season. When fully completed it will be one of the finest and
most attractive summer resort houses in New England.
Reports from different sections agree that deer are more plenty now in Maine than
for many years past. From all directions come stories about deer being seen in many
instances in localities where they have not been observed before for a quarter of a
century. But while they are thus frequently seen near, the settlement they are notably
numerous in their favorite haunts in the depths of the forest. The greatest deer park
in Maine, or in fact on the Atlantic Slope is in the vicinity of Nicatous Lake. A few
weeks since James West and wife of Camp Nicatons, while canoeing from Nicatous
Lake, up Gasabeus Stream to the lake of the latter name, saw 12 deer in one afternoon.
J. Darling of Lowell, on a trip to Gasabeus a short time since saw 18 deer in one day.
Mr. Merrick, a somewhat noted bear hunter, on a recent visit to Gasabeus saw seven
deer in the lake at one time. These report give some idea of the abundance of deer in
the locality this season.

sixty-eight years old and as ready for a twenty-mile tramp through the woods as he was
twenty years ago. He has killed 275 Moose, and is anxious to bring the records up to an
even 300, but as the game laws allow only one moose a year to each hunter, he will
hardly accomplish it.
The Harpswell correspondent writes; The Salvation Army are holding meetings here.
The Salvation Army convention meets at the Congregational Church at Harpswell
Center August 11th. Rev. B. G. Howard of Boston, Mass., and Rev. Mr. Howe of

THE PORTLAND TRANSCRIPT, August 11, 1886
LOCAL NOTES
The city was thrilled Wednesday forenoon by the announcement that a sail boat
had capsized off Indian Cove, Diamond Island, and that seven persons, all relatives,
were drowned. It was a number of hours, owing to the lack of telephone facilities, before
definite information concerning the disaster was obtainable. It appears that a party
of fifteen persons, comprising the families of John R. Cleveland and James S. Whitten,
and immediate relatives, were on their way in two small boats to Diamond Cove, and
when nearing that point the boat in advance was capsized by a sudden gust of wind. Of
the eight aboard but one escaped-little Jimmy Whitten-who sustained himself by
swimming until the second boat reached the scene. The following are the names of the
drowned; Wellington Masters, 71 years old; Jane Masters, his wife, aged 69; Benjamin
Whitten, aged 7; Maud Whitten, aged 12; Harry Cleveland, aged 7; Emma Cleveland,
aged 11; Jane Masters, aged 11. The boat containing the unfortunate was of the center
board description, and Mr. Masters, who had the tiller, was not familiar with the boat of
that class. Five bodies have been recovered, those of two children not having been found.
The calamity by which seven persons had lost their lives last week, adds another to the
list of accidents caused by the mismanagement of sail boats in sudden squalls. In this case
the accident was due to the attempt to jibe the boat with the center board up. The lesson
often taught and so constantly disregarded in the danger of inexperienced persons
attempting to manage sail boasts, especially when crowded with women and children.
Doubtless in the hands of an experienced boatman there is little danger in a sail boat, but
they are often cranky and require constant watchfulness on the part of those who manage
them. We can recall three or four instances in which parties of six or seven have been
drowned by their capsizing in our harbor. One occurred in Diamond Cove, when five or
six young men lost their lives. In July 1848, by the capsizing of the pleasure boat Lee, near
Hog Island Ledge, the wife and three children of Mr. Smith and four children of John
Whyley were drowned. Instances in which one or more persons are drowned by similar
accidents are frequent. on the other hand though it is now about forty years since steamboats
began to run to the islands,we do not recall the loss of a single life among the hundreds of
thousands transported by them.Those who go a sailing should be sure of their boat and
their boatman.
Mr. Fuller who had his hands blown off while firing a salute at Mechanic Falls July
3rd, married Olive Swallow, daughter of Larned Swallow, who had both arms blown
off , July 4, 1834 at Fort Preble. The accident was caused by the carelessness of the man
attending the vent of the gun. Mr. Swallow had enlisted in the service of the United
States as an artisan, and was stationed at Fort Preble. He was detailed on the morning by
the commander to assist in firing a national salute. He was then twenty-eight years old.
The following October he was married, and drew a pension from the government until
his death in 1862. He lost two sons in the War of the Rebellion, one serving in the Union
Army, the other in the Confederate. C. Swallow.
The wife of Mr. H. B. Brown, the artist, died suddenly Monday morning at their
residence on Cushing's Island. She had been for time in delicate health, but benefit
was expected from the pure air of the island, and she retired Sunday night apparently
as well as usual. The family have returned to their residence on Danforth Street, where
funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The sudden death of
Mrs. Brown was a sad surprise to a large circle of refined, artistic tastes, and highly
esteemed for many admirable qualities. Her husband and daughter have the sympathy
in their bereavement of all who knew her.
