North: A crowd of young people from the North neighborhood enjoyed a pleasant trip on the water Monday. The launch left Cedar Point at 10:30 a.m., returning at five in the afternoon. The time was delightfully spent in travelling the waters of Back Creek, North and Ware Rivers. At noon the launch ran ashore and a sumptuous lunch was spread under the trees on the banks of North River. After lunching, lines were dropped overboard and a pleasant hour was spent fishing and crabbing. Misses Olivis Ogilvie, Maied Rollins, Maud Hearn, Susie Mason and Nelle Hearn, with Mrs. Hearn and Moore acting as chaperones, boarded the launch at Cedar Point. Robert Belvin and George Hearn acted as captain, engineer and pilot.
