The arrival of the schooner Maude Nj.
Morey off Mack's Point late in the after
noon of the 18th, and the homecoming OF
Capt. Edmund l.. Hichborn made avail
able the reasons for his long delay. After
leaving Delaware Breakwater heavy, arc
tic weather was encountered and when
he eventually was able to reach an an
chorage on Nantucket Shoals the craft
resembed an artificial iceberg. The an
chors were cleared with difficulty, and
hours were consumed in getting the sails
down, prodigal use of hot water being
necessary. When, in the course of hu-
man events, it became desirable to con-
tinue the voyage, the windlass could not
be operated 1t is we'll known among
Capt. Hichborn's friends that he takes
to the sea when he becomes thoroughly
bored with staying ashore, having ac-
quired that vicious habit from all of 40
years experience afloat, but ordinarily he
has no special craving for the sort of
recreation which the present trip has af-
forded.
