Two gentlemen, one from Brooklyn,
/ y. y, aud the other from Wilmington,
started from the City Hotel on a fishing
tour last Saturday morning, going north
to a river known as tho Redfeld and
from there to saltwater. They continued
down tho stream, neither Of them know
ing or thinking how far they were get
ting from home, when all Of sudden
night came upon them and they were OBJ
biged to camp out, The inhabitants OF
the city, finding they did not come back
became somewhat alarmed about them
and some three or four people started in
pursuit, with guns and lin horns
firing aud blowing until past mid
midnight but heard nothing from the lost
ones and gave up the hunt. Nothing was
heard of them until about 10 O'Clock sun
day morning when they made their app
pcaranco. They looked as though they
had had hard time Of it, They had cat
en- nothing after leaving home the day be-
fore except what fish they roasted on a
stick, and they looked rather thin Both
claim they were not lost but fyou could
have seen their clothes and boots you
would, think, say that they must have
made an effort and that pretty strong
one to get out of the woods before.

two, and played a little at trying lawsuits
but the excitement hardly compensated

down quietly again.
