A party of twenty-five or thirty
young people from Wilmington, re-
turning from a visit to Lewes Beach
on Sunday had a close call when
the open truck in which they were
riding at a high rate of speed dash
ed into an opening drawbridge ov-
er the Lewes-RehobOth Canal at
Lewes, stopping eight feet from the
gap which would have preciptated
them twenty feet into the water be-
low. The truck was driven by Irwin
Plaien of Wilmington, and was on
its way from the beach. The driver
stated that he misjudged his brakes
which caused him to break through
the heavy iron chain barring the
entrance to the bridge, just as Mar
tin D. Lekite, bridge tender, was
raising the draw to let the dupont
yacht white Puss." conveying
Captain James Walsh. of Whining
ton and a party of people aboard
through the camel.

hoboth where he was apprehended
by a State police officer and brought
back to Lewes to appear before

that the driver was not entirely to
blame as the brakes of the truck
were faulty. and was released after
paying costs.
