BARELY ESCAPE
DEATH IN ICE
Thirty Men on Wrecked Boat
Rescued and Forced to
Walk on Floes to Shore
WERE MAKING PASSAGE
Vessel Meets Disaster In
the Jam Off Delaware by
Striking a Sunken Barge

LEWES, Del, Feb. 5.-Thirty men
narrowly escaped drowning to-day in
the icy waters of the Harbor of Ref
uge at the Delaware breakwater and,
after being rescued with the greatest
difficulty by the crews of two tugs.
they were forced to make their way
to shore on foot over the heavy ice
foes with which the Delaware River
and bay is blocked
The men whose lives were imperiled
were Captain Jacobs and his crew of
twenty-nine men of the Philadelphia
City ice boat No 8, which made its
way down from Philadelphia in an ef-
fort to make a channel for vessels ice
bound at the breakwater. The ice
boat collided with the sunken barge
Santiago, the masts and buoys Of
which had been carried away by the
ice jam and a large hole was stove in
her hull
Captain Jacobs signals of distress
were answered by the tugs Teaser and
Boxer. The tugs experienced much diff
ficulty in reaching the rapidly sinking
ice boat. The ice jam prevented the
tugs from docking and the crew Of the
Ice boat, a1ter Delng taken OH, StllI
from exposure and nearly exhausted,
managed to complete a perilous jour-
ney afoot across the ice fields to shore.
Navigation is almost at a standstill
on the Delaware because of the ice
which is jamming the stream from
Trenton, N. J., to the breakwater and
extends nearly ten miles out to sea.
There is a large fleet Of vessels Of all
kinds at the breakwater unable to
make any headway against the jam.
Several ships are fast in the ice at
the Horseshoe, a bend in the river at
Gloucester, N. j.. and it will probably
be several days before the city ice
boats can clear a passage for them.

ready for enrolment which gives
those that favor many places of public
recreation an opportunity to turn
their attention to the purchase Of
Fort Humboldt, Humboldt County. A
bill providing for the requirement of
Fort Humboldt was introduced early
in the session by Senator Selvage, but
was subsequently Withdrawn, amend
ed in minor particulars and reintro-
duced.
The object of Senator Selvage in
asking for the purchase of Fort Hum
boldt is to preserve the same for it's
historic interest. Fort Humboldt was
occupied by u. S. Grant in 1851 and
played an important part in the set
tlement of the great wilderness that
is now center of civilization, the old
fort being included within the cor
porate limits of the city of Eureka.
1t is not believed the bill will meet
with any serious opposition.
