Boy Scout Troop
100 Takes Trip

Boy Scout Troop II sponsored
by the Milford Lions Club recently
went on their annual trip to His
tOrical Fort Delaware, located on
Pea Patch Island in the middle of
the Delaware River, off Delaware
City about one mile. The fort, dat
ing back to the Civil War, was a
northern prison camp iE which
captured prisoners from generals
to drummer boys were he'd under
terrible conditions, which eau sed
many varied tales to be told about
the history of this period of our
nation. All these stories tend to
give an overnight camping trip by
Scouts an added thrill
The Scout Troop received per-
mission from the school to leave
Friday morning on a historical
trip to the island For this, the
scouts wish to thank all the tea
chers and the principals for their
courtesy. Arriving in Delaware
City, the scouts were met by Cap
tain Wisowaty, who transported
them to the island aboard his 40
foot party boat. The boys were in
trOduced to Captain Wisowaty,
who during several collisions be-
tween tankers in the Delaware,
pulled some heroic deeds in saving
several ives by pulling men out
of flaming oil. The captain, being a
real water man, added spice to the
trip.
From the new landing on the
Delaware shore of the island, the
boys hiked into the fort, set up
their camp inside the courtyard of
the fort. Scouting pursuits, ex-
ploratiOn of the dungeons, rooms
and walls of the fort followed un-
til night when the scouts as a
group hiked to the far end of the
island to the buried powder cave,
returning after dark. Supper was
cooked. Stories, games, minia-
ture wars engaged in until one by
one the boys became exhausted
and went to sleep.
Saturday, after breakfast, clean
ing up of the camp grounds, sight

boys counted ships passing the
island from eight different ma
tions on their trip to the Port of
Philadelphia. The troop left the
island without incident at 4:30 d.
m. Saturday and returned to shore
where transportation home was
ready.
Assisting in transportation and
driving which makes these trips
possible were: Mr.. and Mrs. Bur
ris, Mr.. Masten, Dave Hugg, Dr.
Dobson, Frank Horsey and Dan
Dohring.
The boys who made the trip
were Don Fisher, Philip Sharp.
Bob Walls, Thomas Kemp, Ted
Kenton, William Zencak, Glen
