was taken, and this also fell
short; the projectile splashing
into the water a few yards in
shore of the ship. Thus out of
eight shots the line had reached
the vessel but once, when it
lodged for a moment on the stays
and slipped off. That the ship
was within range of the gun was
demonstrated by subsequent
measurement, and the successive
failures to establish communica-
ton is attributed to the improper
elevation of the piece and the
commission of the Keeper to use
the smaller No. 4 line, as he had
been instructed to do in such
emergencies. Surfmen Ayers and
Stone had now come up with the
boat and preparations were made
to 60 off. This was at IL o'clock
in the day.
Belanga picked the following
men from the two crews as oars
men, viz: George w. Stone, John
Frank Tedford, of his own Sta
ton, and Joseph Spartley and
James E. Belanga, of the Dam
Neck Mills Station. The latter was
his own brother, while Spartly
and Tedford were related to him
by marriage (brothers-in-law).
Although the tide had fallen off
the sea was still bad; yet for all
this there seemed an excellent
prospect of a successful outcome
to the hazardous undertaking.
The boat got away from the
beach in handsome style and was
headed well to the windward in
order to stem the current along
shore, and the crew responding
with a will to the keepers CHEEKY
Drive her, boys! drive her!"
the ship was soon reached. The
German, both with its human
freight, still lay in the position
in which it was first seen at
early dawn, the rope which held
1t being attached to the ships
quarter.
Scarcely a word was spoken
as the two crews met, Belanga
was the first to break the silence
by hailing Captain Halberstadt
with the inquiry, "How many
men have you?" The Captain re-
piled, TWENTY-FIVE" The keeper
then called for seven sailors to
jump into the surfboat, intend
ing, doubtless, to land them all |
in three trips. 1t is said that the
Germans were disposed to spring |
into the surf-boat pel1-mell, but |
a few words of restraint from
the officers were sufficient, so
excellent was the discipline, and
but seven men as called for, in
cluding the Captain, were trans
ferred to the station boat.
These were Immediately sup
piled with life-preservers carried
for that purpose, and Belanga
was on the point of turning his
craft shoreward when suddenly
an immense wave swept around |
the rear of the ship, combed over
the two boats which had tailed |
somewhat astern without the no.
tice of the surfmen, swamped |
them and turned them complete !

It's good idea always to look
twice. Sometimes even ice isn't
all its crooked up to be.
While the days at the summer
resorts have gone into history,
many will recall the happy hours
spent at Betterton in August.
When the boat from Baltimore ar
rived it was noted that some 400
or 500 persons from that city were
aboard and as they stepped gayly
from the ship they showed delight
and soon all the boy travellers had
some kind of pastime to give
them all necessary activities. One
man was selling toy balloons while
another, oh, yes, three or four of
them stood on the pier and gave
the new arrivays cards which in
vited them to the hotels there for
dinner or supper Another scene
to remember was the sight of a fat
man who ordered six of the largest
crabs and devoured them with the
relish of one who had not eaten a
thing for five or six days. The
size of the crabs indicated that he
was king of the hearty eating
fraternity. The whole day was
one of great interest to the aver
age visitor. Betterton is one of
the oldest summer resorts in
Maryland.

real companion and a model wife.
With her kindly life she was the
paragon of true devotion and a

she was admired by all who were

She will be keenly missed by all
who knew her as a friend.

pany attended the annual banquet
of the Ladies Auxiliary of New

was presided over by the county
president, Mrs. Carlisle. After the
delicious turkey dinner was served
there was about two hours enter
tainment by the Fun Makers, a
group of young people who enter

Georgetown gave a nice talk and
he praised the auxiliary very high
