Dy Cne Borough OF North
was passed by the Senate on Tuesday.
The measure was put through by
Senator Stevens despite the objections
of some Of his colleagues.
Captain Barney Parsons and a crew
of fishermen put out through the Inlet
at Atlantic City in the fishing smack
"Guyasuta" about ten days ago bound
for the Delaware break water Goldfish
ing. They had reached a point about
twenty-five miles southeast of the
breakwater and cast anchor and had
put out in their dory when one of the
crew, Kenut Thompson, a Norwegian,
was taken suddenly sick. The first
indications he gave of illness was a
numbness of the foot and then the
hand and terrible pains in the head.
The crew saw the man was sick and
Immediately returned to the boat
where he was wrapped in blankets
and placed in a bunk, but he contin-
ued to grow worse and then the
captain concluded to make the nearest
port where a hospital was located, and
he know of the one at Wildwood
put IN full power aud reached Mace's
dock at about $50 last Friday after
noon. Word was sent to DIR. Mace and
an automobile was sent up and every
thing was made ready at the hospital
for his reception. The sick man was
taken ashore unconscious and after he
had been put to bed he was seized
with a stroke Of paralysis and at 7.30
the same evening he died. Mr.. Thomp-
son leaves a wife and young son at
Atlantic City to which place the body
was sent by Undertaken Ingersoll who
took charge of the remains. Captain
Parsons had nothing but praise for the
deceased, stating he vas a valuable
employee and strictly temperate and
his sympathy for the beresved family
was marked. The captain said he en-
countered very rough weather after
leaving port which continued nearly
all the way to the breakwater and 10
his endeavor to ave his comrade he
left his cod fishing outfit at sea. On
Saturday he started out to get same
but was compelled to return on account
of engine troubles. These were reme-
died and he left port Sunday with a
view to recovering his fishing lines,
valued at about hundred dollars.
The Three Friends, under command
of Capt. John Saunson, went out Tues
day morning to search for the two
fishermen, Baumaun and Nelson,
who put out to sea in a
open skiff early last Monday morning
from Baker avenue, and were su opposed
to have been blown TO sea after engine
troubles had occurred. A crew also
went out from the Hereford Life Saw
ing Station but were unsuccessful in
their search and returned. Unless
these men were picked up by a passing
vessel 1t is feared they have persisted
from the Intense cold of Monday night,
as they were without means of keeping
warm.
