Walter Fetzer and Charles Traub
had a close call for their lives on
Sunday. They had been enjoying
a week of camp life at Augustine
Park and on Sunday afternoon about
4 O'clock they left the site of their
camping grounds and started on
the return sail to this city in a 22
foot skiff. Everything went well
during the first part of the storm,
which occurred about o'clock, but
later the gale caught the two lone
shilors so suddenly that they barely
had time to make preparations to
keep their boat rightside up. At
Ine ClulC Iue SLOfUi SliuCk tue DOaI
it was in the middle of the Delaware
river at point almost directly OPP
posite Fort Delaware.
The sail on the boat was torn and
although reefed close, the boat sped
along at high rate of speel. Traub
was at the tiller and both he and
his companion were fearful lest
they would not be able to keep the
craft up.
After an exciting half hour, Traub
finally succeeded in changing the
course Of the boat and heading her
toward shore and was soon within
a short distance of land. He and
his companion then allowed their
boat to drift up the river with the
tide and early in the morning they
put in here and remained until yes
terday morning. After breakfast
they proceeded to their homes in
Chester.
