Our town was very greatly alarm
ed last Saturday evening when 1t
became known that two hunting
parties, one composed Of Capt. E. V.
his son, Harvey and
nephew, Raymond Long, Jr.; the
other composed of w. E. Bunting oil
garage and his two bro
who had left the bridge
at Fenwicks Island that morning,
going down the bay i'll two motor
boats, for days sport, had not re-
turned when night came on. Grow
ing more and more alarmed Mrs.
Williams and her nephew, Donald
Simpler. started an investigation by
going down to Fenwick's Island
Light House and reporting the mat
ter to the U. S. Coast Guard Station.
They in turn reporting the news all
up and down the line. Capt. Harry
W. Hudson, Jesse BroXtnn, Asher Z.
and others Immediately set
out in search of the missing parties
working heroically for four hours, |
amidst the storm of icy spray and
bitter cold, never giving up until
they had rescued the parties bring!
ing them back to safety
Hudson worked for more than an |
hour after falling waist deep into
the icy water.
Bunting suffered greatly while |
awaiting the signal of the crew at
Yellow Banks
: The parties were seriously stran-
ded on Isle of Wright Bay by sud
den change in the weather. The
storm came so fierce and suddenly |
that it soon lokered the tide so it
was impossible for them to return
either with power boats or by use
Of oars. Two house boats, belonging
to the Holloway brothers of town
and Marvel Pepper of near Fen
wick's were opened up to the crowd
Of relatives and friends, making 1t
as comfortable for them as possible
during their anxious wait. The res
cued parties and their families are
very grateful to all those who join
ed in the search and especially to
hose of the Coast Guard Station
who worked so faithfully in spite OF
heir own suffering.
