S. BOE 1 BO They let off the people they had with them. And these fellows were stay? ing for the night out at Strathlorne Lodge. They mentioned the thing again. Bango! Out the lights go! Same thing as before. Waited for awhile, the lights came on. When they were driving in--they had to drive, we'll say, maybe a quarter of a mile from the main road in to where the lodge was. On the way in, one men? tioned, "What a hell of a night we had! No mu? sic- -we could have had music all night. And we didn't see a damn thing." Bango! Out the lights go again!
