People from New Castle who were
in Atlantic City yesterday saw the
bicycle boat there which was here
last week. In speaking OF it they
say it was a novel and exciting ex-
perience enjoyed by Gideon Adams,
ofCamden, in company with 10
seph Pierce. a 13.year.old boy.
Adams is the inventor of the nauti-
cal craft, which resembles and
works like an ordinary tandem
wheel, and which is frequently
seen 10 the Delaware River. Two
weeks ago Adams conceived tn idea
that a trip to the seashore to visit
his father, Captain A. S.-Adams, OF
the Inlet fleet, would be both excit
ing and enjoy able. He enlisted
young Pierce and together they left
Cooper's Point, Camden. They
were not very long out when a
strong wind blew. them up on a
mud bank hard and fast near
Penn Grove. They released them
selves by hard WORK with a Ratchet
and pie plate.
The daring voyagers had no SOON
err got beyond the bre akwater when
squa!l drove the m to SEA and out
OF sight of land. They kept on
padding, however, and brought up
near Cape May Point. where they
anchored for while under the
beach. Getting under way again
they were somewhat perturbed to
find they had lost their bearings
and landed in a short time near
Cohansey Light. Nothing daurted
by the continued mishaps they re-
newed their journey. making as
straight line as they could for
AtlantlcCity.
:. Trolley cars to the front, trolley
cars to the rear, trolley cars on the
sidings and trolley cars everywhere
was the order Of things yesterday.
