Written for the PRESS
Gayly the pennons are waving,
And the bright armor flashes and
CLEANS,
But the fair little maid Of the castle
Sits silent, absorbed in her dreams.
Loud ring the hoofs Of the horses,
And the danes on the balcony sigh.
Look down on the knights OF the king
dom
Who ride forth to conquer or die.
And there, in the shade Of the banner,
Rides one whom the little maid knows
And half hid in the folds Of his doublet
There nestles a creamy white rose.
He waves to the maiden his gauntlet,
She smiles, though her sweet face
grows pale,
He kisses the rose; in a moment
1t rests on the balcony rail.
And the danes praisd his youth and his
valOr
But the fair little maiden alone
Reads the message of knightly devotion
He sends with the rose he has thrown.

the Emma Ann Stephens, and the Wool
sey, were driven ashore on Saturday, on
Little Egg Harbor Beach, by the gale
and ice. They had taken refuge in the
Inlet for safety, but got froze.k in the ice,
and the outgoing tide swept them out
upon the bar, butthey were doated again
Sunday without serious damage. The
crew OF the Woolsey were rescued by the
men of the Atlantic tCity Life Saving
Station. The life linewas shot over the
vessel and it was soon fastened to the
schooner's life boat, and the crew landed
in an exhausted condition after a pro-
longed battle with wind and ice and a
zero tempature.
The crew of the other schooner, finding
her adrift and rapidly sinking, took to
the ice and by skilful jumping from one
piece or section to another, managed to
reach the shore safely, and were properly
cared for at the Middle Beach Station.
The sloop Flash also went ashore on a
mud bar in the Inlet, but was fioated
again without much injury.

With nausea we are awful sick.
