Partv Battles Three Hours for
I I.lfo Aft ft t- 1 nnW lt Rnrnno-
in Storm
UNNOTICED BY MANY CRAFT
Unheeded by pnsslng cfaft, seven
men battled for tliclr lives for
three hours during tho Htorm Himdny
afternoon in n small motor cruiser
which had sprung n lenk after xtrlking
n floating log In the Delaware 'river
nenr Uombny Hook. They were rescued
by the Norwegian steamship Ryvnrden,
which came Into ;ort yesterday morning
from Manzanlllo with a cargo of sugar
and landed at Rhncknmnxon street
wharf. The rescued men were nil resi
dents bf Camden.
Thpv left Coopers Point In the motor
bont Jlnmle Saturday afternoon for a
nshlug trip off Fortcmie. The collision
with the log' stripped the boat of its
propeller, broke the shaft nnd caused it
to leak badly.
With the leak increasing ond the
heavy seas kicked ui by the sudden
.Kuiinll, the smalt bout begun tt till rap
idly, n.v working their utmost they
could only check the toltiiiie of water.
Mnny small bouts, the men told Tap
tnln OnrI Thouutssen. of the Hy.vanlen.
who failed to secure their names, passed
within signaling distance of them, and
although one would stop bulling long
enough to wave frantically, they were
apparently unnoticed or unheeded. They
were obout to give up when the Ityvar
den hove In sight. i
The men were got oft the waterlogged
nnd sinking launch in one of the ugliest
situations ever seen in the lower Dela
ware river. So powerful was the wind
that the Ryvarden was afraid to Iraw
close to the launch for fear of sending
it to the bottom. To put off n boat
was Impossible. So the cargo derrick
of the steamship was swung out bodily
over the little craft, the men clung
to it, and the whole mass of them,
struggling with all their almost ex
hausted power to retain their hold, were
lifted high in the nir and swung in
over the ship's deck like so many bags
of cargo. Persons from the shores
watched the rescue through telescopes
and sea-glasses.
The Ryvarden, seven days out from
Cuba, with raw sugar, come up the
river in the nick of time. The first
terrible sweep of the wind blow the
whole surface of the river into a smoth
er of white foam, in the midst of which,
before the rain fell, the launch was
discernible as a small object, from
which was frantically waved a white
object according to the Ityvarden's
crew, the shirt of one of the men.
The pilot aboard the Ilyvardcn put
over the wheel and tln steamer was
run ns close ns she dared go. Uy this
time the wind had lifted tire river sur
face into veritable sea waves. To put
off' a boat was impossible, as she and
the launch would probably have gone to
the bottom together. The wnves, lift
ing and rolling along the sides of the
ship made any nttempt to effect a
boarding by ladder a useless peril.
It was here that Captain C. Thorn -asscn,
of the Ryvarden, showed re
sourcefulness, lie ordered one of the
derrick booms swung out over the ship's
side. It was lowered directly over the
boat, and the men, one by one, made
themselves fast to it. A single heave,
a'nd they were above the level of the
ship's bridge, from which they were
lowered, in a well-nigh exhausted con
dition, to the ship's deck. Then the
rain came down and the launch was
blotted out from sight.
First Mate Frederick Fredcrickson,
of the Ryvarden, which halls from Kra
gero, Norway, was disposed to regard
the rescue as nothing more thnn part
of the day's work. lie admitted, how
ever, that the situation of the launch
and her seven passengers was critical,
and had not the Ilyvnrden happened
along they might have been lost.
None of the seven rescued men suf
fered any ill effect from the experi
ence, according to the ship's officers.

You've probably never heard of the

never heard of Philadelphia and Cam

relatives or friends in their ranks.
Well, now that the war is over and
the censorship nnd everything Is lifted,
it is quite in order to tell you that the

naval militia units of the two" cities,
who, under Commanders Nelson am?
Hoffman, respectively, reported to
League Island right on the heels of the
declaration of war on Germany.
That veteran but stanch cruiser the
V. S. S. Chicago, the oldest fighting
ftlilp this country now hns in active
ecrvice. was where they swung or tried
to swing their hammocks. Com
manders Nelson nnd Hoffman were then
given other assignments.
Commander Kesslcr, who wns assigned
to the Chicago, started to develop what
was later termed "the snnppicst crew
on the Atlantic."
It is an axiom In the service that an
officer's standing with his men is besbj

him. To the gun deck Commander
Kessler wns known ns "Bill." They
swore bv him. To see him nt "mast""'

Nice to petty offenders would hnvc been
time well spent for some of our magis
