YACflT SAVED 5 FROMICE FLOE E FAILED AT OTHER INLETS 4 Stsam YacM "Harry fiilbert" seeks refuge ii Ike Cape May Barber d A large steam yacht daring the ;e storm last week started to go np the 1 bay bnt.foond it practically impoaai- _ bis, the ice as well as the heavy sea g prevailing making it very dangerous, r. The Breakwater. was equally so and it £ would have.been too dangerous to have gone to the southward.for the open sea or the shelter of Oape .Henlopen. Act- oordlngly she did the only thing which i- could, have insured her safety. She ■s sailed into the entrance of our Cape n May harbor and made fast to one of _ the anchorages between the stone walls ; and remained there aa"ahug"as~a 1iug "In q a rug. j If _she nad gone up into the k harbor she' would have oeen still more confortable. This incident il- i ~ lustra ten perfectly wnat tUe harbor y meanc.and the. ueceaaity and value of 1 >, it to shipping. If the yacht in question could not have found this refuge , she would have been in imminent dan- j i get of destruction. i j Captain _Tony Bennett, who is in ' the employ "of the breakwater Com- ' pany, when interviewed on the above ' i. article made the following statement : 1 e "The Jet earn yacht Harry Gilbert, 1 s bound from Jones Inlet, Long Beach, ' Long Island, to New Inlet, N. C., ' - encountered severe weather and heavy lee floes on Tuesday of this week, and f in order to protect his yacht, the cap- ' s tain endeavored to enter all the inlets ( down the New Jersey coast, and in 1 doing so ponched two boles in the side 1 t of his craft. |Wben about to strike the ' B heaviest ice he ran abreast of the ' j Cold Spring Inlet, which was entered ' - with graoe and ease and no difficulty 1 whatever."

He was an undemonstrative man T and domestic in his tastes and in his c but he was always faithful to 1 . duty as be saw it and a man of the ® ; utmost integrity. He was devoted to b i his wife and family and thought no 1 1 sacrifice too great to insure their hap- c piness and their well being. As a " [ pilot he passed through many thrilling b experiences during the forty-two yean fl he served.

Senator Hand, his expressed his opinion that the county of Cape May will be most fully served the building of the bridge from Point to Beesley's Point, instead of to Ocean City, because it would make the ocean boulevard a direct road to every resort in the county since each of them .has a fine state road connecting with the proposed boulevard, and the resort to obtain the least benefit would be Oape May or Cape May Point because it would be the last one to be res o bed. the bridge were built across to City this resort would beoome practieally {the terminus of the Ooean Boulevard and the resorts south would pnotically cut off, including Sea City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Peermont.

ON IRE BASKET BALL FLOOR rC«K I,; L i. IWalj Voelul L Litjtma ul Vest Ca* la; B.S. Tic. Caps May A. A. showed their olaaa S Saturday night at the Auditorium in their game with Vineland, and fully demonstrated that they are in the runfl ningjwlth gLrongestjSoath Jersey teams. The oon test was a continuous obsession of fast plays in which good passing had a prominent place in the program, while excellent field shooting was in a evidence at all stages of the game and M the lavish bestowal of applause by the ■A crowd showed that they appreciated j. the brilliant work, m Oape May had it on Vineland in all >r around team work, every player being B at his best and always in the fray. To >. the Oape May bunch is improving r_ would be putting it mildly. Oollecy tively and individually they seem to have hit a fast stride and show a conii- ^ denoe lacking before. They are now a producing a game that decidedly . eclipses their past endeavors. jj Vineland was the first to score with a sensational goal from a difficult angle by McOarty, the speedy forward. 0 He also made one of the same calibre e in the second half. Oape May soon located the basket and at the intermission were leading by a .score of 9 ° to 8. In the second Vineland tied the e score but Cape May got going nicely r and gradually drew away and succeeded in>eing returned winners, 98 to 18. "Rube" Mennis was again with t Oape May and will very likely be a i- fixture the balance of the season, and d >8 a valuable acquisition to the team. He played.in the same clever style as ~ on his first appearance with Oape May, 1 and his ability to follow and obtain the t sphere and intercept passes was.greeted 0 with deiignt by the crowd. He also did some exceptionally sk'lful passing and good shooting. And maybe Vanzant wasn't in the r game. He handed out an article of e basket ball that will be hard to beat. . Time ana again he brought forth rounds of applause by his accurate n shooting and aggressiveness in scrim1 mages. No one had anything on Van3 zant's playing Saturday night.
