CLIO STICKS In
MISPILLTON MUD

One hundred and fifty passengers
of the steamboat Clio, which plies
between Philadelphia and Odessa,
were forced to seek safety in small
boats when the craft ran aground in
Appoquinimink creek, near its
moutir iate Thursday afternoon.
The Clio was on her wat 20 filla-
delphia when high northwest Winds
struck her and drove her aground
After a night Of discomfort spent
aboard. many Of the passengers
chose to be rowed ashore They
then went back to Odessa. Some of
the passengers chose to remain
aboard. A large consignment Of cat
tie was aboard the Clio.
The vessel careened somewhat and
this added to the discommorture of
the passengers. The howl os the
winds. and the lowing of the fright
ened cattle, tended TO make the lives
of those aboard the vessel miserable
during, Thursday night. Steps were
taken yesterday to lighter the ves-
sci and set her afioat and this was
accomplished later.
