Gallery›Digital Commonwealth — Boston Public Library›Preparing for Storm -- Boat owners all along the coastline yesterday were doing the same thing as these owners at Wollaston Beach. Fearing possible destructiveness of Hurricane Ione, they beached their sail and power boats, loading them on trailers to be hauled inland away from high tides and raging waters that transform water-borne craft into piles of kindling wood.

"What's the matter, old hoss?" "Everything, can't you see my shoulders?" "Cheer up old boy and don't be grieved. Just follow me and be relieved." "Keep a stiff upper lip and get one of McClain's "Success" sweat collars, they will make any horse laugh."
