disabled motorboat in the Delaware
river, Hugh B. Giles, of 6227 Lawnton

On his way up the river, he says,
the machinery broke down, and while
he was repairing it he lost his bear
ings. Hailing a steamship. he asked
the captain if he were going to Phila-
delphia, and received an answer in the
affirmative. Then, he says, he follow
ed in the wake of the larger boat.
Another break in the machinery
caused him to stop again, and this
time he could not make repairs. The
boat drifted down stream and was
passing the lightship off Lewesywhen
he attracted the attention of the light
ships crew. Several sailors put out
to him in a boat, and ris disabled
craft was towed to the lightship.
