SHOOTING on THE DELAWARE.

As is their daily custom. Jackson Cook
and Harry Jobes, professional gunners Of
this city. went to the swamps ON the other
side of CrosSwick's Creek on Friday
morning last. in quest of reed birds and
marsh hens. Alter penetrating the low
land some distance they were startled by
cries of distress. such as: Help! help!
For Gods sake. come here quick" Max
ing their way to narrow strip OF firm
ground. surrounded by n clump Of bushes,
they found the owner of the voice. He
was stalwart man. fully equipped in
sportsman's garb. but in the informant's
words. "a sorry specimen of humanity"
He explained in pitiful language that he
was from Trenton, and not being familiar
with the unhappy hunting ground, was
lost. He said that he had put in the most
the most strenuous efforts to extricate
himself from the morass. but every new
attempt resulted in worse tangle. At
the passing of each railroad train he made
fresh push, steering straight in the
direction OF the sound, in the
hope of reaching the track and liberty.
The innumerable quagmires. however.
caused him to divert his steps in order to
Stt safety arpuuu tnc SoUHN SOIL, anu the
consequence was. being minus compass,
he frequently found himselfiu the vicinity
of the place he started from, Sixty
rounds of ammunition he fired from his
heretofore trusty fowling piece. and
shouted himself hoarse in the vain hope
Of obtaining succor.
As it came not, and darkness had en-
shrouded the earth, he settled down for
the night on his uninviting couch. Bruised,
scratched. weary and mud bespattcred,
with heavy heart he counted the mo-
ments until daylight. When the welcome
sun CLEANED over Bonaparte Park he hes
itated about leaving the hard ground upon
which he had passed the night. lie had

he felt that his strength must fail him il

erous mud. Without Il guide, he was as

he heard the welcome report of Cooks
gun. Then he renewed his shouts with
the effect above mentioned. When his
guides had safely ploted him to the rail-
road y more grateful being could not be
imagined. Without giving his name. he
at once started for his dear Trenton. And
after all his hardships hadn't the poor
consolation of killing even one little reed
