tho vessel drifted on the shoals.
All hands were lost.
about a year later another
storm blew up, equal in ferocity,
and the pilot boat EnOch Turley,
carrying six pilots and crew of
four men, was lost. Nothing was
ever heard of them. No signal of
distress was ever sighted.
There is another instance Of he
rOic work by the pilots which oc-
Cured in 1888. A ship grounded on
the bars just outside of the Break
water. The lifesavers went to the
aid of the stricken vessel, but in
the raging storm their small boat
was wrecked, and their lives imper-
lied. A small crew of plots, in a
little skiff, braved the storm and
saved all aboard.
1--WE are not bound by law to play
the part of lifesavers, but the hu-
name element is too strong a part
of every pilots makeup to let him
stand by and see men perish with

Pilot Charles Eldridge was killed
aboard a ship at Marcus Hook. How
he met his death we do not know,
but we do know that he gave to his
Job his last full measure of devO-
tiOn.
"On November 10, 1925, the pilot
boat Philadelphia rescued crew and
passengers from the burning Clyde
steamer Lenape, from New York to
Jacksonville.
"The hours a pilot must be on
duty without sleep and often with
out food vary. Many of us have
been on the bridge from fifty to
sixty hours at stretch, and the
average length of time pilot must
remain on top side is about twelve
hours.
EVERY ship under register is re-
quired to take pilot aboard when
she enters the bay; no ship is ex-
empt.
United States Navy ships also
take pilots, particularly the super
dreadnoughts, dreadnoughts, cruis-
ers, supply ships, hospital ships and
the like.
when the Herbert L. Pratt was
torpeoded in the Delaware Bay in
1918, the pilot boat Philadelphia
stood by and rendered valuable as
sistance, in conjunction with the
young sailors from the station at
Lewes, who went out in mine
sweepers and patrol boats to save
her from sinking.
"The pilot boat is often a great
boon to a ship coming into port af-
ter a long voyage. Often the ships
supplies have given out, and we
give them food and tobacco.
1.-THE requirements for pilots are
about as strict as any set of reg
ulations I know. They are far
more rigid than those of the Uni
ted States Navy. To become a pilot
apprentice, a boy must first pass
mental and physical examinations.
He serves four years aboard the
pilot boat without pay, learning the
business of a seaman. Then he
must serve one year as a fifteen
foot pilot, after which he is sub
jected to examinations more rigid
than those he has previously taken.
Another year must be served as
a twenty-three-foot pilot, and then
comes the most rigid of all exami-
nations. When he takes his exami-

To seek wealth, culture, fame and
social prestige is commendable, but,
after all, it is true that nothing
comes to us that is so sweet as a

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From National Editorial Association)
Especial to Chronicle)


Especial to Chronicle)
Washington, October 2O-It is
freely predicted in Washington that
the short and final session Of the
Goth Congress will be marked by tur-
moil and partisan strife. Reports
show that considerable ill-feeling
has been engendered by Senators
and Congressman breaking party
lines in many localities in order to
carry out their personal convictions.
With the people levelling all argu-
ments at the ballot box the first
Tuesday in November, the so-called
"lame duck" brigade Of the present
incumbents turned down by the con-
stituents in November may be ex-
pected to lister more readily to pro-
posals for alliances with other
groups. The result of these new
alignments would be discord and un-
certainty as to the disposition Of leg
islation which is either pending or
will be presented to the Congress in
December.

tack of carelessness as to publicity
for the welfare of all concerned, and
needed only the reminder to bestlr
their activity as presented through
the columns of the Chronicle last
week; when the seeming failure to
provide the fun and attraction nee
essary for a fine Halloween celebra-
ton in Milford was stressed. Last
Friday a member of the Rotary Club
started the ball rolling, by calling
attention to the fact, that the busi-
ness men of Milford were falling
down on the job, by failure to ar
range for a Halloween parade, with
music and prizes for the masquera-
ders, and the gathering Of a large
crowd of people in Milford tomor-
row night. The program as ar
ranged by a committee then named,
is printed in the news pages OF the
Chronicle, and it will attract fully
five thousand people to Milford to
witness, or take part in the festivi-
ties, and jolly fun. Just a word OF
caution to the rough neck, or
thoughtless class; the police will not
tolerate any jostling of masquerad-
ers, boistrous and unsemly conduct
from that class or any visitor who
may transcend the limits Of reason

WITH THE OPEN SEASON for

they purpose to stip indiscriminate

it is generally recognized that peo-

Fishing Schooner
Safe at New London
After Raking on Rocks

New London, Conn, Oct 6.-fp,-
Kept af1oat with great difficulty after
she had rammed against the rocks of
Horizons Point in Long Island TODAY.
the 75-foot fishing schooner John and
Mary of New Bedford, Mass, was safe
in port here tonight.
The vessel was lowed in by the
coastguard patrol boat 236, sent from
the base when the John and Mary was
reported to be sinking in the sound IA
miles southwest of Bartlett's Reef off
Greenport. The schooner was dam
aged by the crash.
The John and Mary, CARRYING a
crew of seven men, left New York
City yesterday and was returning to
New Bedford, Captain D. F. Mullins
of New Bedford said that shortly after
the vessel entered the sound a heavy
fog settled down and high seas were
running. He was forced to proceed
slowly.
At o'clock this morning the ship
got off its course and crashed into the
rocks, and 1t was four hours later
when the crew was able to get her
back into deep water.
There was large hole in her bow
and the engine room was flooded. The
schooner called for aid, but it was
not until o'clock This afternoon that
the patrol boat reached her.
