somewhat rough and blustry. Those who
put IN to Delaware city or salem Cove
ON Tuesday night on account Of the gale
camo sailing home ytacrday afternoon
with their cutchcs. They had "a pretty
rough time OF i, but took their bad luck
good naturcdly and made preparations
TO start out again. The river was dhiclxly
dotted with fishing bouts yesterday on
