ALONG SHORE IN OCTOBER The tempo of Barnstable Village is geared to fall with storm win- dows, firewood, empty sign posts, new shingles and general battening down the hatches for whatever may come. The floats were hauled ln the middle of September and there are still about 15 boats waiting to be put away In the various barns. IN THE WIND Ned and Sue Hancly's "canoist- fisherman," Edward Otis Handy, m, was born Sept. 23, 1961. Robie and Prudy Stewart also have a son named Andrew born the first week ln October. We had lunch with Eddy and Phyllis Rush at their home ln Nichols, Conn., last week. "How ls the wreck of Eddy Rush?" was our greeting because poor Eddy ls still home recuperating from a major operation. He is putting his leisure time to good use by boning up on Robert N. Bavier, Jr.'s latest Yacht Racing Rule book, a hospital gift. On our way home Sunday night we stopped at New London to have supper with the college set at Connecticut College. Joanna Warn- er, who summers on Ooodview Way, Patkin Edwards, Hope Batchelder, Carol, the Lay's baby sitter, and Susan Warren are also students at Connecticut. We missed seeing Carol and Susan. The Arthur Clarke's and Prank Hinckley's spent the long Columbus Day holiday at the Clarke's home in Greenfield, N. H. The children had their first ski run on real snow! On Saturday both families piled into the station wagons and drove to Waterville Valley, disrupting the peaceful visit of the Gallagher's and Sue and Charlie Howes, who were vacationing without offspring! Roger Williams has enrolled at Berklee School of Music on New- bury Street, Boston studying the saxaphone. He also has a Job with United Radio Corporation and is keeping bachelor quarters with Doug Mitchell. Carla Kelly is with Jordan Marsh Interior Decorating Department and sharing an apartment with Carol Travers. Carol is back as recep- tionist at the Leahy Clinic. On Oct. 11 we launched MIMI n and took Admiral Howard and his house guest, Mr. Eric Pelley from London, England for a two-hour sail. It was Uncle Herbert Howard's first sail in the harbor in about 25 yearsl We sailed ln close to Bral- leys to show Mr. Pelley the look of the dunes and flushed up 12 Great Blue Heron. SEARCHING FOR A BURIED SCHOONER > About 200 yards ln from the back beach of Sandy Neck and probably running 400 yards west from the present beacon, there lies the burled bones of an old lumber schooner. Dan and Pat Knott, their children and Peg Craig Joined us in the search one warm September day out at the point. We sailed over armed with shovels and a picnic. Shirley Lovell tells us the 80 or 90 foot schooner was driven high on the beach ln a storm because she was light of load. This was in the early 1900's. Many of the inhabitants of the point and the village know of the old wreck. To us and to the five-year old boy with us It was a new adventure of pirates and buried treasure. After a bit of tromping through the dunes, we came upon the charred and rusty remains. The amazing part of the discovery was the distance from the original shore- line of Sandy Neck back beach at the time of the wreck to the present beach. Sixty years of steady build- ing up of sand now puts the old hull way in the middle of the dunes. ABOUT THE WEATHER Not until some of our summer members have stood at the shore with waves lapping at their feet where the fireplace is and a North- east gale stinging their cheeks will they realize how lucky they are to be snug ln their suburbs. After four and five days of raw wind, it ceases to be exciting and exhilarating. Mr. Austin's Lyman outboard, Gay Weir's aluminum boat and motor, Varma Sundelln's skiff and motor all swamped and sank bot- tom up last Friday. Ben Thompson's Boston Whaler was also caught ln the storm but rode it out and Ben went ducking on Saturday. Mr. Klt- tredge's big skiff rode well, too. Harry Varnum's plastic Beetle ls sunk at its mooring at Scudders Lane. Cost Montagna, shell fisher- man out of Scudders Lane, Just had a new fishing dory built and it has been missing since Oct. 17. The motor was stolen sometime pre- vious to this date. High tide for Monday, Oct. 23rd was 11.4 ft. and was running two to three feet above normal In Cape Cod Bay area. The sports fishing boats at the marina (over a dozen) were riding within a toot from the top ol their mooring piles. Along shore in October has had its moments, but as tar as foliage goes we are being deprived of the gorgeous red tupelo tree at Coggins Pond. The last two falls have not been up to standard because of hurricanes, and now this continuing Northeast storm. Good weather for the duck hunters, brave soulsI We build our lives upon our ex- periences, and worship ls the chief cornerstone upon which to build a stronger, fuller life. Share the ex- perience of worship with others each week. Barnstable Yacht Club Log I By d'Alessio THESE WOMEN ! Francis X. Schmid Tel. GArden 8-6285 COTUIT FEDERATED CHURCH Rev. Stephen H.
