This issue of the Vineyard Gazette—sixteen pages—is the largest ever printed. Not only is the paper the largest, but the edition will run into numbers far exceeding the total number of papers printed in any previous week. It is not possible as the press run begins to tell definitely the size of the most ambitious edition ever attempted on Martha’s Vineyard, but it will be at least three times as large as any previous edition.
This issue of the Vineyard Gazette is an invitation particularly addressed to all those who have never visited Martha’s Vineyard. They will be welcomed to the Island this year, whether they choose to come for a weekend, for a real vacation, or for the entire season.
Steamer Nantucket was still fast in the sand of Sturgeon Flats this morning, with the prospect that more powerful towing equipment or the aid of a dredger will be needed to get her clear. Attempts were made to float her at high tide last night, and the working vessels were heard tooting again this morning in the thick fog which surrounded all the craft and made them invisible from the shore.
