AN ECHO OF THE RECENT
STORM AT LEWES.
A nice fat purse was boldly snatcEed
out of the hands OF United States Dis
trict Attorney Vandegrift, United
States Commissioner Smith and others
Saturday afternoon by the escape of
the sugar laden schooner Emily b..
Whitney. The vessel, during the re-
cent storm which swept the Atlantic
coast, was driven hard and fast upon
the reefs near Cape Henlopen. She was
heavily laden with a cargo of sugar,
consigned to New York merchants. The
storm in its fury swept everything un-
attached from the vessel, and for time
it looked as if the schooner would be
rent asunder.
The crew worked bravely and sue
ceeded, after a heroic struggle, which
lasted for hours, in saving the schooner
from going down in the silent deep.
HARD UPON THE REEFS.
upon the waves like a true giant, and
on she rode until she reached Cape
Henlopen. The storm about this time
had partially subsided, but all at once
it regained it's fury and the wind blew
at the rate of forty miles an hour. The
vessel ploughed through the water, send
ing the white seething foam skyward
and for a time it looked as If she would
part her stern.
The vessel plunged into the sea head
first, parting her bow chains and split
ting the main hawser This let loose
the mainsail, rendering the vessel help
less. The wind gained in velocity anC
the sea swept the vessel from bow tC
stern. One big wave lifted the Whitne,
high in the air, dropping her on the
reefs. She lay in that position anC
bowed from side to side as the waves
willed it.
DISTRESS SIGNALS ALOFT.
Captain Monroe ran up a signal o
distress and the Whitney's summon
were answered by the tug North Amer

the storm beaten schooner, and, after ;
hard fight, in which several hawser
were parted, succeeded in getting he
on the reefs When the vessel hat
been righted the captain of the tug de
manded salvage for the saving of tn
