BLOCK ISLAND GIRLS TOOK WEATHER METER. | i | Left Kisses for Captain Bahndohr of | Prudence Island. | The removal by two Block Island | girls of a piece of mechanism belong- | ing to Capt. Polonius Bahndohr of | Prudence Island has caused some little | stir on both of the islands in question | ;and has even caused the captain to threaten legal proceedings “if such| goin’s on is repeated.” | The occurrence happened as fol- | lows: | One day last week Misses Amphibia | Wilkins and Melissa Fish, both of Block Island, set out for a row in a dory belonging to the latter's brother. | When some little distance from shor their attention was attracted by a cu- | rious looking object floating upon the | water and resembiing, at a distance, a miniature bell buoy. On rowing up to it they found it to be a most inexpli- cable contrivance, containing among other things a lot of cogwheels with a dial and hand, a self registering | thermometer and several bottles con- | taining different colored fluids and | connected by a rubber tube. To the | top of the buoy which supported lha} machine and which was moored by a cord was attached a notice which read “This weathermeter the property of Capt. Polonius Bahndobr of Prudence | Island. Please keep Your hands off.” | The contrivance was accordingly | transferred to the dory and in its| place on the buoy an envelope was | left containing the following missive: “Dear Poley—We've taken away your old contraption. And, as fair exchange is no robbery, we're leaving | {you our love and kisses. | “WILD ROSE AND BEACH PLUM. On Tuesday the captain discovered the theft and the missive. ms nrst| impression was that it was “some | |blame fisherman, tryin’ to be funny,” | but he scon guessed nearer the truth. |“I'm_quiet enough these days,” said | !he, in relating the occurrence, “but 1| icruised ahout some amongst the gals| i when I was younger an’ I see as soon | §aa T'd examined it careful that that | | was genuine she-writin’. An’ when I/ see that I knew right off that the gals, | whoever they was, come from Block Tsland, for nobody from the mainland would come so fur.’ The captain says he was “mad as a wet hen.” but, as Wild Rose and Beach | Plum furnished no clue to their identi- ty, he smothered his wrath as best he could and in a few days had another weather meter installed on the buoy. Meanwhile Josh and Si (who with the modesty common to the young men of Block Island have asked that their full names be not given) had ex- amined the machine, had heard the girls' story, and were not pleased at the message their sweethearts left for Captain_Hahndohr, H So a few days later the young men | themselves visited the buoy on their motor boat, the Block Isiand Belle. They were a trifie surprised to find a new weather meter installed; but in- stead of taking it away as their sweet- hearts had done, they contented them- | selves with inserting a match between the cogs of the wheels, which effectu- ally stopped the rumning eof the mech- anlme, ‘andiiney left & ltter as:foi- OWS!

Owing to conflicting testimony full details of the battle on the high s that followed are lacking.
