TEST OFF 1orPEDoBoAT Is.


The Delaware River has been sele oted
for the trial trip of the torpedoboats
building on tho Atlantic seaboard or
those already built, but not tested.
Up to this time torpedoboats have
been accepted by the government on
the recommendation Of an officer Of the
Construction Department and an en-
gineer officer, who, after Watching the
building, have reported that all the
specifications have been fulfilled A
few of the vessels have been tested in
still water and over measured course,
but some have not. Several OF the
boats have not come up afterwards to
the record speed. Their engine powers
are correct, but their lines are so
shaped that they cannot be driven
through water as speedily as desired.
Capt A. s. Crowninshield recently
consulted with Commodore Casey and
Capt. Cotterell Of the tug Massasoit,
upon permanent course to be staked
off where all the torpedoboats built by
the government could be tested A
straight stretch Of deep water, below
Christiana creek, where mile might
be staked off and still allow mile in
which to get up full speed and slow
down, was selected. The course was
marked on Monday.
The first torpedoboat of the many the
government intends to build to be
tested over tho new course is the
Mackenzie, Just turned out by the
Hillman Shipyard Co. in KensiDgton.

AssoCIArED On ann Es.



The board of managers of the Asso-
ciated Charities held its monthly meet
ing on Tuesday. Interest was shown
in the report Of Superintendent Charles
A. Brothers of the lot cultivation sys-
tenn. The decision to cultivate lots
was made on April 18th last. The land
used was that of Mrs. Sarah X.
Thatcher, Philip Plunkett and G. S.
Cleland In the Ninth ward and Of the
Wilmington Improvement Co. on the
west side. Heavy rains followed by a
dry hot spell resulted in failure of
the potato crop and discouraged some
of those who were cultiyatiDg the land.
Tomatoes, however, yielded a good crop,
and the bean crop was the next in the
order of succe 8.
The total value of crops from all
three farm, as nearly as could be
asceTtained from the imperfect accounts
kept by gardeners, was 81, 500. 81, or n
general average Of $50. So to the garden.
OF this amount farm A, the Thatcher
land, containing 27 gardens, returned
$685. 80, $3l, 81 per garden; farm b.,
the Plupkett aud Cleland land, contain.
ing nine gardens. returned S227. 05,
s25. 80 per garden; farm G, land owned
by the Wilmington improvement Co. i,
containing 20 gardens, returned 1919. 90
or s2S. rs per garden. The separate crop
values were as follows: Bean crop.
value, 1854. 75; cabbage crop, S1S6. 90;
corn, $132 S.; potatoes, white and
sweet, $2l1.64; tomatoes. $345. 30
turnip. s96.37 other crops, 1916. "a.
| If the organization had sufficient
| funds for a greenhouse, other crops
might be raised successfully.
In the present year.. SO families or
307 persons in all have been partially
| supported.
About three-fifth of these were col
ored people. The whites We're Of vari-
GUS nationalities. Though some of the
gardeners are not worthy of another
opportunity, yet some OF them are, and
many OF those least able to help them
selves have proven most willing. Nearly
all have asked for another years trial.
| In September an exhibit Of products
grown in the garden was made, in the
show windows of the store, No. 42l
Market street. All the newspapers Of
the city gave favorable mention of this
exhibit, and it was viewed with much
interest by great many people OF the
city and surrounding country. Many
| inquiries were made concerning the
work, and the impression that the plan
was good and worthy one seemed
| general. N"N

The Crew OF tho Lost schooner Murdoch
= I,rayed Many Perils.


After living through q series of ex-
ceptional perlls q portion of the crew
of the lost schooner Jesse Murdoch,
Mexico on November It'll while bound
from Moss Point, Miss, to Caibarjen,
Cuba, succeeded in reaching Philadel-
phia kTuesday, They were nearly lost
while attempting in small boats from
the wreck to reach st. Vincent Island,
and afterward were robbed by band
of half-breed Indians of nearly every
thing they possessed. To make matters
worse, tho island was discovered to he
alive with rattlesnakes, and IL became
necessary for z the castaways to keep a
fire burning night and day to frightcn
the venomous serpents from the crew s
camp. 3BS,55h
The Murdoch left Moss Point for
Caibarieu on October 26th with 213, 600
feet OF yellow pine lumber, and four
days afterward vas Obliged to put into
Mobile leaking, having encountered
continuous heavy weather, The bow
ports, wherethe leak was located, was
repaired, aud she sailed again on
November list for her intended destina
ton. When tho vessel was 40 miles
out from Mobile the flying iibboom
and foremost head were carried away
by heavy weather., and another lenk
appeared, the water running into the
hold at the rate Of l6 inches per hour.
SS As the leak was gaining rapidly, it
was decided by Capt. Ernest Wheatley,
the master Of the vessel, to put back to
Apalachicols There was no pilot to
be had, however, and an attempt was
made to reach Apalaohicola by way of
West Pass. In doing SO the vessel
struck Flag Island shoals and soon be-
came total LOSE. The crew managed
to reach the shore in lifeboat, and
discovered afterward that the land was
st. Vincent Island, a tract of barren
waste containing about 200 acres.
Here they remained, visiting the
wreck at intervals to save from her
what they could. While they were alb
sent on these visits everything in the
shape of food and clothing, which they
had left ashore, was appropriated by
the natives. Va NIX
Capt. Wheatley, soon after landing,
discovered that his temporary camp
was RENDEZVOUS for rattlers and other
venomous snakes But the little COM
pany remained there in considerable
peril until passing vessel picked them
up and took them to Apalachicola.
The Murdoch was an old trader to
and from Philadelphia. She was built
at Bath, Me-, in 1871. She was valued
at 81, 600, and her cargo 81, 900 on which
there was noiinsurance. Capt. Wheat
ley was formerly resident of Delaware,
his present home being at Wareham,
Mass. The mate, j. w. Coverdale, who
came north with Capt. Wheatley, is a
| resident of Delaware
