',ZIslsAN Of the
EHAO'S'MARINES
Dramatic Sea Rescue

Four Marine Corps flyers and a
naval surgeon peered through the
haze of the Caribbean sky on a
July afternoon in 1886. They were
looking for the steamship Cath
crime, whose captain, Clarence Bur
rows, had been gravely wounded by
a seaman who had suddenly gone
stark mad.
The airmen's goal was merely a
dot on the broad expanse of waters
about 140 miles away. Smoke
clouds from the vessels tunnels
helped to guide them to their mark.
Finally, the ship was sighted and
the plane settled down to a precar-
ious landing on choppy sea.
1t was novel task for the Ma
rines. Radio messages, sent from
the ship to Puerto Rico, and then
relayed to the Marines aviation
base in the Virgin Islands prompt
ed the rescue effort. 1t bore one
significant phrase: "An hour gained
may save his life"
Once the airmen had landed on
the turbulent sea, their problem
was only partly solved. The Cath
erine's lifeboat, with the wounded
man aboard, was edged toward the
plane until wave thrust its bow
close enough to the nose of the
amphibian to permit the transfer
of the patient to the airship. Z
Twice when the plane attempted
to take off it was muffeted and
nearly swamped in the heavy seas,
while the crew tried to gain the
necessary speed. On the third trial
| it rose in the air and speeded to-
ward Puerto Rico. The wounded
man, who received first aid en-
route, eventually recovered.
No code of either honor or duty
compelled these flyers to under
take their hazardous rescue mis-
sion. It proved to be as exciting
as any the Marines encountered
during the earlier days of the Span
ish Main.

MAN
BACK IN JAIL
Kent County Prisoner, Who
Escaped From Attix Farm
Found in Philadelphia
WAS HIDING IN SMYRNA

James Arthur Martin James, 26,
Wilmington, prisoner of the Kent
County Jail who walked off from a
farm to which he had been assigned
for work recently, was back in Jail
to face a charge of escape Thurs
day. The man was arrested by
Philadelphia police as a suspicious
character and during questioning,
confessed that he was wanted at
Dover. In response to a teletype
message sent by the Philadelphia
police to the Static Police, Sheriff
Norris c. Adams and turnkey Nor
ris Garrison went to Philadelphia
Thursday morning and arrived
back that afternoon with the fugi-
tive.
Shaved His Mustache
James, who is serving sentence
of two years Imprisonment on a
charge of attempted robbery, for
which his wife, Frances, also in
Jail, had shaved off his mustache
and changed from his prison garb
of blue denim overalls to civilian
clothes in Wilmington. Sheriff
Adams announced that James will
be taken into court on charge of
escape. Adams explained that
since last June from so to 60 pris-
oners a day have been placed at
work on farms on their honor and
James was the first to break faith
with the working privileges grant
ed.
James was one of about 10 pris-
oners who had been assigned to
work on the Edward Attix farm
near Kenton when he fled. Lack
of telephone facilities in the vicin-
Iity delayed notification to the jail
and state police of his desertior
and thereby gave the fugitive about
two hours start on his pursuers
The sheriff said that James tolc
him that, after leaving the farm
he went to a nearby woods, which
later was subjected to a thorough
combing by state police and jail
guards, but by that time he was on
his way elsewhere.
James, Shelf Adams said ex-
planned that he got life to main
highway on a Dunkard's carriage
and then to Smyrna on poultry
truck without being recognized. He
hid in Smyrna until night and then
got a life to Wilmington, where he
changed clothes. He continued on
a truck to Kuttztown and then
back to Philadelphia, where he was
seized as suspicious character
according to his story. Sheriff
Adams said that the prisoner has
been deprived of all privileges.

u. OF d. LAST
GAME NOV. ~
Undefeated Blue Hens to Meet
Washington College at Will
mington on Saturday
WON II GAMES STRAIGHT

Coach Bill Murray's high-power-
ed University of Delaware grid ma
chine will make its final bid for an
undefeated season Saturday after
noon, when Washington College,
highly-respected rival of the Hens
since 1912, invades Wilmington
Park. The kickoff is slated for
2.15 o'clock. Unbeaten since before
mid-season of 1910, the crack Blue
and Gold eleven has left six 1941
victims trailing in its wake since
the seasons opening deadlock with
West Chester State Teachers Col
lege, and the Hens will be seeking
to exten dthir unbatn streak over
the two-year period to 13 games.
Outstanding both on the attack
and defense, the Murraymen have
rolled up a grand total of 15S
points to their opponents 20 as
only two enemy aerial offensives
and one ground thrust have pene-
trated paydirt. Emerging tri-
umphant by decisive scores over
five victims since the opening tie,
the Hens invaded Philadelphia
last week where a letdown combin-
ed with a spirited Drexel Tech
combine, resulted in slim 7-6 con-
quest for the locals. Expected to
return to their customary form,
however, the Delaware team will
be favored to take the Shoremen
into camp for the fourth straight
year, although the Maryland con-
tingent has emerged better than
even in six tilts thus far. The
charges of Coach George Ekaitis
have registered wins over Johns
Hopkins, Juniata, and Mt. st.
Mary's, were held to a 90 deadlock
by Ursinus, and dropped decisions
to P. M. c. and Randolph-Macon.
Should the Hens withstand the in
vaders' bid at Wilmington Park on
Saturday, they will become the first
Delaware eleven to emerge unbeat-
en- and Coah Murray is credited
with having added brilliant page
to the history of Blue and Gold
football. -Four seniors, Co-Cap-
tains Melvin (Ripper) Brooks and
Jim (Moon) Mullen, Conrad Sa-
dowski, and Norman Lord, will
wind up their careers. Brooks, bet
ter remembered for his ball carry
ing performances in 1889 and 1910
has been nursing a knee injury all
year and will see only limited ac-
tion, while Lord was put out of ac-
tion before the Drexel tilt by an
injured leg.
