Captain Jeremiah Eldredge Retires FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS OF SERVICE In tries tin* Story ot a Busy Life Spent Guiding Vessels on the Delaware Bay , and River. The Public Ledger recently publiahed the following: "The retirment of Cap tain Jeremiah L. Eldredge marks the passing of the oldest pilot actively engaged on the Delaware Bay ana River, a man who has witnessed this port's evolution from something bo different that j the Delaware would seem a wonderland to any ode returning after a lapse of years not intimate with ita growth. Even Captain Eldredge, who has become accustomed to the many changes with the same gradual advance which marked their introduction, cannot recall the river front AS he first knew it without amazement. Captain Eldredge lias sent in his resignation to the Commissioners of Navigation, after using his pilot's license for 6 "years. He is in his 80th year, and, as he says in his letter of resignation, has "earned a rest and is going to collect it." The - Commissioners of Navigation passed a minute upon Captain Eldredge 's retirement expressing sincere regret at the loss to the port of Philadelphia. The Captain holds that an increased appreciation of the value of time m marine circles nas been the keynote of the port's evolution Time of More Consideration. "The most important change," said Captain Eldredge, "is that everybody thinks so much more of time nowadays than he did then. That's what has led to practically all of the minor . changes, I suppose. When I was apprenticed to my brother William in 1846 ships got up the river sometimes in 1£ hours, if the tide and wind were with them; but with a head wind and head tide the old sailing vessels were likely to tack around forever trying to get up. Many of them would take a week to do it. When there'd been a spell of breeze out of the north you could see a regular fleet of them work ing up the bay. It didn't' matter what time they got to dock, just so they finally got there. "You see, at that time there was only one tug working in the Delaware, and none at all on the bay. There's so I

many of them now that it's hard to keep track of them all. But in those days a vessel was supposed to get up 5 the river under her own aqil or steam, no matter what kind of craft she was. Nowadays they'll all take a tow up E stream, if they can only save a couple of hours by it.' it Captain Eldredge elaborated further ( y on the same growing tendency to save time. "The new loading systems are ] another factor," he said. "A big coald er comes in her dock and in a few hours ( she's got her cargo, and is ready to | h clear. Every dock of any consequence ! e is equipped with chutes and hoists for ( « handling any kind of cargo in a jiffy, o In the early 50s a coaler not half the ] n size of those used today would be at i i- her dock for weeks getting filled, y "It was just the same with all other j it kinds of loading and discharging; there n was always more rolling stuff around d by hand, where owners new hoist with e a pole or throw Hi rough a chute in less r half of the time, t Changes in the Vessels, t. "Another very natural change" in the l- growth of the ships themselves. The , i- general introduction ef steam vessels , ir has had u part in this. There is far I, more business done at Philadelphia i, now than there was when I started A in, but there aren't nearly so many | vessels. I can remember when I first n used to work along the river as a steady ( '* thing, about the time I got my license, • it in 1853. Most all of the Bhips were ' sailors' and the river looked like a big d forest in the winter time, it was so full n of small sailing craft at anchor. But if every dozen or so of these little ships , has now bee replaced with one big , d "Of course, one of the natural re- . y suits of the growth of the vessels has [ l- been the lengthening of the docks. Go it down along the river front and you'll ir see many a dock that been built on •- instalment plan. I don't mean built n ting away of Smith's Island, that used * to stretch along in the river from Race ] e street down almost to South street, j d Tha was cut away 25 years ago, and ■e I for one have never regretted it. g "But, of course, the annihilation of :e Smith's Island was only one link in 8 n chain of river improvements.

"A great improvement was the eut- I 28 feet of water up the river easily, on high tide. But from what I've seen of the way these Government improve menta go, I think it will be many s day before the Delaware it cut out so that there will be 3d feet of water at low tide. There's always about six years of talk on work like this before anything at all is done, and then for 'he' next three years there is slow progress, on account of not enough money. Finally, there is a big to-do from all aides about the slow work, and then the thing is finished off in a few months as it should have been in the first place. It's always the same. So, I say, I don't think our dream of a 36-foot channel will be realized for many a day." day.

"Do you think with a 36-foot channel Philadelphia could compete with New York as a port. "Certainly hot," Captain Eldredge replied. "That's ridiculous, Philadelphia's far inland. That channel, when it comes, will help Philadelphia to handle a lot of traffic that it does not get now, but New York will always be better situated for ocean shipping." A Life Romance. Captain Eldredge's adventures since his election of a life upon the sea, have been - most romantic, and if collected in book form would surpass in interest many works of sea fiction. While lie spent most of his time and energy in the neighborhood of Philadelphia during the latter years of his life, for t!i - quarter century previous he journeyed to nearly every port along the eastern coast of North and South America, and the West Indies. i His first trip after receiving his license was on a .Baltimore pilot boat, " as first officer. The boat accompanied 1 a couple of "tubs" to some of the small ' islands in the West Indies. Chptain Eldredge was swimming from ' the side of the pilotboat one hot day, together with Charlie Harris, one of the sailors, when the latter, who was an excellent swimmer, gave a terrible cry, ' and was drawn below the surface of the ' water before his officers eyes. Captain Eldredge saw that he could do nothing, and rapidly swam to the vessel's side and clambored aboard. From the deck ' he saw a reddish discoloration rise and spread about the spot where Harris Went down. A1 though nothing was seen ! under, the captain still considers himself ' fortunate in having escaped from the jaws of a man-eating shark, to which he attributes his companion's death. An Iceboat Expert. For twenty six years, up to 1873, Captain Eldredge served during cold weath1 er as captain of City Iceboat N. 3, and even to this day he enjoys the reputation of being the most competent fU£l^ ever on the river for clearing ice from ' the Delaware. Testimonial from grate- ' ful owners of vessels were frequently r showered upon him while lie served in this capacity. In 1873, Captain Eldredge had a small schooner constructed at Marcus Hook " from original designs he hrad prepared, and had her completely fitted out. nan- ' ing the boat the "Ida May Eldredge," ' after his only child. The Ida May had • a brief but crowded history. During the first year of her life the vessel made trips to the Carribbean, following which 1 Captain Eldredge used her for work on ' the Delaware. In 1875 the captain made a trip in his vessel to the coast of Nova Scotia, 1 and it seemed as if the fates were mock- ' ing his many years of capable iseboat ' service on the Delaware, when the I. M. Eidredge became icebound off Halifax. • For weeks the vessel was stuck without any hope of freedom, the men beguil- ! ing their time by fishing through holes ' in the ice. There was no "Number 3" to come and cut them a passage. One Mishap Rankles. Strangely enough, after spending more ' than 60 years on the sea — having been ! icebound, windbound, hurricane struck, • stove in, aground and afire — only one mishap rankles in Captain Eldredge's mind, and that one would seem rather trivial to tiie uninitiated. It occurred more than 20 years ago. Captain Eld3 dredge had safely conducted a Jarge American battleship up the Delaware to her dock, and asked for a man to carry his valise ashore. His request was denied. " What!" shouted the captain I to the officer of the deck. "With more than 800 men on board, I can't have one carry a grip ashore? Why, sir, any tramp steamer with a crew of twelve men and a Chinese for a cook would do that for a pilot. This looks pretty bad, coming from one of VJncle Sam's menof war." All of the legitimate vicissitudes of a roving life on the ocean hav been forgotten, but the captain never forgave what he considers a breach of maritine courtesy on the pert of a naval officer. like two brothers, who also became Delaware Bay and River pilots, Captain Eldredge was born in Cape May, where he learned to love the sea. One of his brothers, Francis 8. JOdrdege, has served 62 yean in the same capacity as " Uncle Jerry," and la still inhameee William Eldredge, the oldo

est of the three, died fifteen years ago,' 1 [ after working along the bay and river 1 for 30 years. > For the last decade Captain Eldredge has been a director of the West Philadelphia Title and Trnot Company. A JOLLY PARTY AT THE CECIL HOI J. N. Madera, Mr. and Mis. Robert A. Cooper, " Charles Devereaux, Charles IJunt, and Joseph Solomon, all of Newr ark, N- J., have been spending a week ^ with Gua. C.
