Staff Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal

New Castle, Aug. 30. Michael Bishop
and John Becker, Jr., had narrow
escape from drowning, yesterday after
noon, while in q rowboat, near the
long pier. Shortly after dinner the
two men rowed up to the pier and in
the course Of couple of hours had
about 10 pounds of catfish in their
boat. The boat was not of the first
class oider and consequently, between
the weight of the men and fish, the
boat swamped and both men we're left
foundering in the Delaware River.
Bishop cannot swim stroke, so he
held fast to the upturned boat until
Becker was able to go to his assistance
1t was with difficulty that Becker sue
ceeded in rescuing Bishop, for the
latter was exhausted and threw his
arms about Becker. After resting on
the pier for awhile. the two men re-
turned home, little the worse for their
experience in the river. They lost all
the fish when the boat capsized.
