While the state has so far disposed

Wildwood Fishermen Adrift a.
Sea all Might

A thrilling adventure was the ex-
p%erience of three fishermen, David Hoff-
man, James Thomopoulos and another
whose name was not learned, who put
out from Ottens Harbor for five fathom
shoal cod fishing Sunday morning,
December 5th.
They had caught about two hundred
fish and evening was approaching when
one of the men suggested they had bet
ter return and an endeavor was made
to start the gasoline engine which pro-
pels the boat but it failed to respond.
The sea being rough they decided to
cast anchor which they did but the rope
broke and they were helpless.
In some way they managed to get
near the light ship and in answer to
their call a line was thrown toward
them but owing to the gathering gloom
they were unable to secure it. They
again asked for help which was promis-
ed but never came.
By this time they had drifted away
and finally lost sight Of the ship and
spent the night in their open boat with
out food or drink and suffering with
the cold, the sea tossing them about
frightfully.
Monday morning they sighted a YES
sci but got no response to their signal
of distress, and thus they spent the
forenoon until about two In the after.
noon when an oil tank ship hove 10
sight bound for New York which pick.
ed them up and landed them at that
port. They arrived in Wildwood Wed.

lating their story cay they will never
forget their experience.

WE'D AS HEY WE'RE BOUND
VIII NoI farm

from the Atlantic CITY Press
Many of the friends Of this news
naper-perhaps not many, but some
syitieise It's policy of giving liberal and
unbiased publicity to the legal proceed
inps growing out of the transactions of
the Ventnor Syndicate and the West
Jersey Securities Company. They think
loeaI newspapers ought to suppress
sueh stories for the good of the town.
We don't. We firmly believe, after re-
calling some Of the financial transac-
;ons In this city during the past fifteen
or twenty years, that suppression is the
very worst thing that could happen for
the good of the town and for the bust
ness of the town.
In publishing the legal proceedings
against these companies, the Press
thinks that 1t is merely discharging q
duty which it very plainly owes to Its
readers. Moreover, to suppress the
news would be unfair not only to read
ers who pay for the news and expect
IN receive it but also to the scores OF
small stock in these financial
concerns who certainly have some
rights which newspapers are bound to
respect. They have a right to be in
formed as to what is going on.
The Press is not investigating these
companies. The stockholders and
bondholders are doing that. 1t is mere
" printing the news which others
make. 1t is not prejudiced against any
man or set of men connected with the
companies.
