It was the intention of the first purchasers to raze the building this fall. Another report states tht fact that the government may take over the property. Rev. Edward R. Evans, a Congrega- tional minister of Pawtucket, and N. W. Cottrell of Bennington, Vt, nar- rowly escaped drowning recently when they paddled their canoe three miles from shore to view the wreck sof a fishing steamer which sank last Sat- urday night on Catumb RocKs, near Middleground. The distance to the rocks was covered without difficulty, but the current there is very strong and the cance was overturned, throw- ing the two men into the water. Mr. Evans, who is a good swimmer, man- aged to assist his companion to strad- dle the overturned canoe and attempt- ed to swim toward shore, pushing the canoe in front of him. After an hour and a half they were picked up by a government submarine _patrol and landed on the Watch Hill bathing beach. The minister seemed little the worse for his experience, but Mr, Cot- trell suffered with a chill.
