S. S. Boonie Attacked From The Air Over Charles River

Terrors of sea warfare were brought home to the University Friday afternoon at Weeks Memorial Bridge when the good ship Bonnie, all too familiar sight-seeing boat, was attacked from above.

Scores of closely scrutinized Harvard specimens on the bank and other nearly swamped scullers on the river probably looked on with secret approval when a deluge of fish, seaweed, and eels rained down upon the unsheltered unfortunates at the rear of the boat as the pilot steered a true course under the bridge.

The stout-hearted crew retaliated with a long blast from their whistle, attracting a nearly police car, which proceeded to apprehend the responsible Cambridge urchins, thus putting an abrupt end to the reign of terror.
