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.
