Are Wrecked in Delaware
Special to The Telegraph

Philadelphia, April John r. Ker-
nan, assistant secretary of the Mari
time Exchange, reached this city last
night after thrilling experience at
the Delaware Breakwater during the
storm of Friday night and Saturday
He told of the death of 10 men and
the wrecking of two barges during
the terrific gale.
The bodies of three of the lost were
flung up on the short of the break
water yesterday afternoon. The 10
were drowned almost under the eyes
of the lifesavers from the Cape Hen
lopen station and the coast guards
along the breakwater. These men
ashore were helpless to do anything,
for to send boat out in the swirling
seas was an impossibility. Mr.. Ker-
nan said the wind blew with a steady
velocity of go miles an hour all of Fri
day night and Saturday, and for a
period on Friday night more than 20
miles an hour were registered.
