SAD DROWNING CASE AT REHOBOTH
Edward L. Martin Ventured too Far and Un-
able 10 Combat the Strong UndertOe Sinks
With Help Unable to Reach Him.

Edward Livingstone Martin, prom
inent young man of near Seaford, met
death in the surf at Rehoboth Sunday
morning, in view of his friends who
were powerless to lend helping hand.
The ocean was very rough and the
waves lashed the beach furlOusly, so
that it would have been utter folly for
anyone to undertake to swim out to
the unfortunate man. or to launch a
life boat. Martin came to RehobOth
Saturday and registered at the Hotel
Henlopen. Sunday morning at the
usual bathing hour. he left the hotel
to take a bath, accompanied by Tor.
bert Cole, J. Howard West and Harry
Crawford, all young men of Dover.
The surf was high and dangerous and
there were not half dozen others on
the beach who ventured in. Messrs.
Cole, West and Crawford did not re-
main in the water long, calling to
Martin as they went out that it was
too cold and rough. Young Martin
replied that he would follow them as
soon as he took a good swim. He
went out beyond the breakers and ap-
peared to be getting along all right for
several minutes. Then his friends on
shore observed that he appeared to be
unable to get in, and then it was

Alfred Waite of Wilmington, William
Lohand of the Hotel Henlopen, and
others, tried hard to get a rope to the
unfortunate man, but the mountainous
waves rendered it impossible, and the
rescuers were simply hurled back time
and again. Martin was known as q
powerful swimmer, but no man could
do battle with the ocean Sunday and
win. He kept afoat for 10 or Ii
minutes, in full view of the frenzied
crowd on shore, but at last a noun
famous wave engulfed him and he
sank from sight. A number of people
on the pier who watched the struggle
of the drowning man saw the body {

along by the swift current, but it wal
