Recalling AN Incident of Years Ago
Freezing to Death up the River.
Special Correspondence to the Philadelphia
Times.
EOUINUNK, Pa, Dec. 12-Raftmen, re-
turning from down the river, bring news
of the death of Mrs. Jacob MOser, OF
MOsertOwn, Northampton county, which
recalls the frightful work of a winter
night fifty-twO years ago, by which the
deceased was made a widow. 1t is a
Renaissance of the days when transpOr-
tatiOn between Philadelphia and EastOn
was by Durham boats, style OF craft
unknown to this generation.
One day in January, 1928, Jacob MOser,
his brOther-in-law, Jerome Miller, his
brother, RinaldO MOser, and cousin
named Courtright, were running Dur
ham boat from Philadelphia with car
go of whisky. Jacob MOser was pow
erful man of 30; Miller was about the
same age, and RinaldO MOser and Court
right were lads of Is. Night was ap-
preaching when they were in the viclnl-
| ty of Bristol, and they were caught in a
violent stOrmjOf wind and sleet. Unable to
make landing on either shore, they ran
their boat on small island. As it grew
was bitter cold. People who remember
that night say that it was the most fear
| full one ever known on the river. The
mercury stood below zero and the wind
blew gale. The storm had commenced
with rain, and, as the cold increased
the rain was frozen into great
pellets of ice, which the wind hurled
about with tremendous force. To this
awful war of the elements the four boat
men were exposed, with not scrap OF
wood on the island with which a fire
might be kindled, and nothing to shelter
them from the storm. They attempted
to keep warm by running up and down
the island, and, after an hours incessant
exercise in that way, which rendered but
little relief, one of the party suggested
the rolling of barrel of whisky from
the boat and setting it on fire. This hap
by thought inspired the freezing crew
with hope, and with great difficulty they
unlOaded one of the barrels. Then the
APPALLING discovery was made that there
was not match in the possession Of
any of the party. From that moment
Jacob MOser lost his heart. He wOul(
not make any further effort to keel
warm, and for long time his brother
and Miller dragged him about the island
endeavoring to keep his blood in circu
latiOn, all to no purpose, for at the ent
of an hour he was beyond all hope, AMI
they were dragging frozen corpse be
tween them. When the discovery wal
made that there was no matches, young
COrtright knocked the head of whisk!
barrel in with stone, and let himself
into the liquor up to his chin. Miller
and RinaldO MOser continued to fight al
night long against the terrible dealt
that assailed them. When daylight ap
peared they were discovered by Othel
! bOatmen, and rescuing party started
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-01-03

after them, At the sight of the boat ap-
preaching, the wonderful nerve that had
kept RinaldO MOser alive through the
fearful night, deserted him, and he fell
to the ground unconscious. Jerome
Miller, although his hands, ears and face
were frozen as white as snow, and his
feet were so stiff that he could scarcely
move. never lost consciousness. COrt-
rights face and ears we're terribly frozen,
the latter so badly that they dropped
from his head, The cold had not pene-
trated where the whisky covered him,
but from his neck down he was one i'm
mense blister. the liquor burned him so.
The three survivors of the awful night
and the dead body of its victim were re-
MOSertOwn. RinaldO MOser's legs were
amputated at the thigh, as they were SO
terribly frozen that it was impossible to
save them. He lived and became one of
the most robust men on the river. He
took up his residence with his SiSter-in-
law, the widow of Jacob, and for forty
nine years supported himself and her
ferrying people across the river and by
fishing. He became known as the Leg
less Ferryman," and no character was
better known than he was from one end
OF the river to the other. He was most
expert oarsman, and had few equals as a
scientific fisherman. The facility with
which he got around on his legless body
was wonderful. He died in December,
1876, aged 66 years.
Jerome Miller and COrtright both re-
covered, but both met tragic deaths soon
afterward. Miller was drowned in 1929
in the Delaware, and some years after
ward COrtright was burned to death in
New Jersey. Jacob MOser left two sons.
One of them was drowned in the Lehigh
River few years ago, and about the
same time the other was drowned in the
Delaware. The death of their mother
removes the last survivor of the singular
ly fated family. She was about 76 years
