New York, 1895
Much anxiety is felt by the wife and son of Capt. Charles King, of Greenport, who mysteriously disappeared last Saturday afternoon. King was for several weeks engaged by the Shelter Island ferry company as captain of one of its boats. King was obliged to remain at Shelter Island nights. On Saturday afternoon while in Salter's restaurant at Greenport he said he would be over to see his folks the next day. He had not seen them in two weeks. On Saturday evening he dressed himself in his good clothes and took supper at Scudder Smith's at Shelter Island Heights, where he boarded. After supper he left the house without saying a word as to his destination, and has not been seen since.
Mr. Ford's Ill Luck
L. Ford, of Sea Cliff, has been having more than his share of trouble lately. Friday his 3-year-old daughter was badly bitten by a pet dog. Saturday his 6-year-old son fell from a fence and sustained a very severe fracture of the elbow.
