STORM PLAYS I PRANK ON BOAT 1. MACKEREL FISHERMEN HAVE NAP. ROW ESCAPE FROM WATERY *• GRAVE — LIGHTNING STRIKES D BOAT AT WATER'S EDGE AND j CAUSES GREAT DANGER. The staunch mackerel fishing boat, "Alert", with a crew of five men, was M struck by lightuing during the storm on 2. Tuesday night. The bolt entered the II bow of the boat on one side and goes out ie tbe other side, leaving two large ragged r. holes at the water line. Quick wits preis vailed in the crew, who used the bed clothing to stuff up the holes to prevent the inrush of water and the ultimate s. sinking of the boat which was engaged at mackerel gilling about ten miles off - "t shores. At the time of the crash two i- boats were tied astern but owing to the freak of the electricity they were never e seen again. The little vessel was £ brought safely to the Cape May harbor ,e where repairs will be made and fishing will be resumed. CREW SEPARATED FROM BOAT The crew of the "Bella" which left the d Cape May Harbor on Sunday night for h the fishing grounds, was separated from :- the larger vessel by a dense fog, while attending their gill nets with two small c dories. The captain of the "Bella" has sent his crew of four men to attend the - nets with the two small boats while he ■a stood watch on the power boat. The fog ). arose suddenly and the crew- was unable • to locate the power boat and after beii coming discouraged in their attempts, o they headed for Cape May and were suce cessful after a hard row of twelve hours duration. In the meantime the Osptajn d ofthe "Bella" patrolled the high seas for - two days and nights in search of bis r crew and finally took refuge in the Delo aware Breakwater where he learned 0 that his men were safe in the Ctope May Harbor. n THIRTY-EIGHT BOATS IN t THE MACKEREL FLEET s Tbe mackerel fleet this season consists of 38 boats of the auxiliary sloop type. Most of them are manned by a captain and four men, and each boat carries from two to four row boats ' with miles of fragile nets which are ' very dark in color to deceive the "foxy'.' beauties of the deep. These fish are so clever that, they cannot be. captured in the day time and have to be taken at 5 night with dark colored ueta. r Most of these Jjoats travel from Glou- '. eester. Mass., to Cape May where they - meet the mackerel and then follow them to the New England coast. Cape May has been selected a starting point on account of the harbor and sbipping facilij ties. The Reading Railroad runs special trains to the wharf where tbe fish are . unloaded, packed in ice and shipped direct to the Philadelphia and New York markets. The fish find their way to . the markets the same day they are M. P. HOWLET TO BUILD FREEZER | M. P. Howlett, one of the largest fishiiermen in the business has purchased a i> large strip of ground on the harbor s | front and has built large mud banks to enable a dredge to fill in the property to ! make a substantial foundation for the I erection of a large storage plant for the '. j purpose of freezing the large catches of fish which his boats take in the surrounding waters. Mr. Howlett landed many tons of choice varieties of fish 1 last season rnd will no doubt do the j same thing this spring and summer. A two hundred foot wharf has been erected in addition to the one used last 1 season. Several party boats will leave t these wharfs daily during the coming Gov. Fielder Cells Legislature to Enact New Law for Vote on Amendment Trenton. April 29.— Governor Fielder today issued a proclamation for a special session of the Legislature, to convene next Monday, to correct the defect in the bill providing for a special election „ on October 19, when the woman suffrage and two proposed amendments to the State Constitution are to be submitted ! Soda Fountain Open j The Soda fountain at Mecrav's Phari macv is now open. The equipment is an . entirely new idea of the most approved. sanitary design. The fountain is at-. ' tended by a voung ladv and great care r Will be taken' in the service. HOW I SERVE YOD First, I will build you tbe beat boat , for the money. Second.
