Pumps Go Dead
First it was the winds that
went against the Marvel, the
young deckhand said. Then the
motor driven yawboat. with
which they tried to push her,
failed. Finally the pumps aboard
the Marvel went dead. A blast
of wind blew her over.
I'VE left Cambridge on the
Eastern Shore about noon yes
terday and expected to be In
Annapolis ton the Western
Shore this morning." young
Morton said last night.
I'VE heard the hurricane was
sort OF marking time. and we
also knew a Northeaster was due
on the bay sometime today, but
we thought we would be back in
Annapolis before it hit.
The winds were wrong though
and we got held up We began
pushing with the yaWl.
Then the water pump on the
yawl clogged up and the motor
went dead. We had to depend
entirely on sail after that. l
think we would have made it if
the yawl hadn't gone dead.
Couldn't Make II
The yawl went dead about 7
O'Clock last night. After that.

Familiar Sight on Bay
The three -masted ram had
been a familiar sight on the bay
since her launching at Bethel,
Della, on the Nanticoke River.
Rams of her type were built
around the turn of the century
to haul cargoeS through the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canai.
Watermen say they're really
nothing more than a barge with
sails. All of them were built
less than "a feet wide so they
could get through the canals
locks.
The Marvel spent most of her
years in the fertilizer and lumber
trade. She was placed in the
tourist trade in the late 40s by
]. A. Knust. now of Fairfax, Va.
Mr.. Knust sold the Marvel
last year for $4,000 to Capt.
Meckling. native of Gary. Ind,
who had a love for boats. Capt.
Meckling said he had built his
first boat from do-it-yourself
plans in a magazine.
He was drawn to Maryland's
Eastern Shore by an article he
had read on Chesapeake i2ay
skipjacks, graceful looking
oyster dredge boat.
He bought one. Then when
he saw the Marvel for sale, he
said, he thought that would be
the perfect life.
Mr.. Meckling. who had studied
law at LaSalle University in
Chicago, and his wife, a certified
public accountant. moved to
Annapolis. He began hauling
vacationers out of Annapolis.

Charles Greenwald, SO, a
Brooklyn, N. Y. engineer, sat
painfully in bed. his legs criss-

told his version of how the ship
foundered and sank.
Friday morning, he said. he
had talked to the captain who
said he was trying to make
Annapolis.
AS the sea got rougher Fri
day morning Mr.. Greenwald
plunged in with the crew as
they worked the pumps up for
ward IN the boat.
I'VE got the water out and
everything seemed fine. But the
water kept rising and the second
time we tried the pumps the
electric motor wouldn't work.
Il was down in the cabin try
ing to get the rope through my
life preserver when the boat
.heeled' over and I was thrown
back. The water rushed in and
I think washed me through a
window. My foot caught on the
window but I got it loose,
Il got hold of a piece Of wood
and was washed ashore" Mr.
Greenwald said.
Harry Nathanson. 48, a physi-
cal education teacher in Law
renee, N. Y. said he was scram-
bling all over the ship trying to
do something. including fixing
the radio, about lunchtime Fri
day when he saw the passengers
being herded into the cabin.
1T didn't look like the thing
to do to me-" Mr.. Nathanson
said. And when the boat
started to go down ! yelled hurry
up. hurry up"
Mr.. Nathanson said as the
boat sank he rose up on it's
bow some Is feet in the air.
then jumped In the water he
grabbed piece of wood and
rode the storm into shore.

Two members of the crew,

a steward, and Elry Pinkney, so,
of Parole, Md. the ships cook,
left the hospital early today
seeming little the worse for their

cook who has been on the sea
for some 35 years. said he
thought. maybe, the captain
should have kept a-goin" in
stead of anchoring off North
Beach.
But he's a good captain and
no man understands a storm. i"
he said.
Both men were on the fantail
when the ship went down.
They said the crushing blow
was a wave which hit portside
of the ship and sent her rolling
over and to the bottom. The two
men maintained the ship did not
crack up on a reef but just sank.
