Peter Peterson, collector Of the
Borough OF North Wild wood, had q
rather notable experience last week,
when he was over on the bay side in a

shore and these guns were shooting at
a high angle over his boak He said
THAT it was a thrilling sensation to hear
the shrapnel and shot, some screaming
and some making a roaring sound
passing a thousand feet or more over
his head. One of the harmless but
rather risky incidents of the shooting
last week was that on one morning
several %shrapnel ex ploded among a
fleet of clammers who were six or
eight miles out i'll the bay. These men
after two shells had dropped among
them hastily up anchored and started
their engines for Cape May Point.

q demand that those in charge be more
careful in the future; but claiming
was discontinued for the time being.
