...their game with the Williams team Saturday, and about 1000 people gathered on Jarvis to see the game. Williams had fairly good sized men, but lacked the skill necessary for a strong game and proved no match for our team. Harvard kicked off at 2.55 with the sun and wind in their faces, but immediately forced the ball down the field until Bonsal secured a touchdown after a sharp run. The ball was punted out and Austin kicked the first goal for Harvard. Shortly after the kick-off, Hartley and Cabot by a succession of brilliant plays carried the ball...
...Sunday morning at eight the club started back. Lynn was reached at one and Cambridge at 3.40, having stopped at Lynn for an hour. The run was thoroughly enjoyed by all and was full of interest and adventures. The roads were good, and but for a strong head wind on Saturday and on Sunday the weather was delightful. No accidents occurred and all reached home safely after a most agreeable excursion. There will be a hare and hounds run on Thursday at 3.30 P. M. The hares will be Mr. F. W.

The boys realizing their danger probably attempted to reach shore. At this point she shipped more water than she could carry and she settled to the bottom of the ocean, stern foremost, carrying her small boat down with her. This was S.40 a. m. Sunday, August 12th. Hasty preparation had been made for such...
...proceeded to the spot at once; or if he had sailed by the light ship and shouted a warning, Rupert would have been promptly rescued. But the Ridgeway proceeded to Newport and left Rupert on the rocks. At high water the rocks are entirely submerged and in a high wind it is impossible for anyone to live upon them. Finding that he had a fight for life before him, Rupert saved his pocket knife and threw away all his clothing but his drawers and undershirt. His drawers he tore into strips about an inch and a half wide, and cutting...
