SMALL CRAFT I IN PERIL il 8 GALE OF MONDAY IMPERILS FISHING BOATS AND "GLEAN- ■ ER" RESCUES TWO— FORMER COAST GUARD CAPTAIN WAS ABOARD ONE. } During the terrific gale which . swept our coast on Monday, two thrilling *escues were made in .the . ocean, just outside of Cold Spring In- ' : let at Cape 'May, by Captain Louis - Dorsette and crew, of the fishm : 1 i schooner'"Gleaner," hailing from Ed- . gartpwn, Massachusetts. , When the windstorm began, many 1 . of the fishing boats operating along I the Delaware Bay made strenuous ' , efforts to reach harbor and battled : . desperately with the High and choppy ; I seas. In this stormy element the i "General Pershing," a power fishing 1 boat owned and operated by Captain Jennings, was seen to be 'in distressr ' I In this boat were Captain Jennings, ' . owner, and Mrs. Jennings, Captain ' Maurice Cresse and Thomas* Patch- 1 |, ell, of Cape May. At the same time a small skiff, 1 I with Warner Owenf, Robert Turner , and Herman Finneman, veteran col 1 ored" fishermen, was also unable to . cope with the mammoth waves. 1 The "Glehner," with its brave and 1 i crew of about twelve Cape ' . CjOd mem made immediate and sua- 1 cessful efforts to reach the»two helpless boats and toWed "both through I Hie turbulent waters to a safe refuge : in our landlocked harbor. Captain Cresse, formedly Captain I of a Coast Guard Station here, is ' ; loud in his praise of the wonderful < seamanship of Captain. Dorsette and 1 his crew, and of the humane motive i which prompted the daring rescue. 1 In January, 19y)f Captain -Dorsette I effected a similar rescue . of the i ''Myrtle B. Crowley," a six-masted t schooner, with Captain William Has- < Kell^his wife and crew, and for which received a Carnegie Hero Medal t and one thousand dol I ars. 1 A ahance to save money by buying 1 Shoes and Ghrfords, .both black and 1 tap for $2.65 nt^TENKNBAl'M'S. « ALUMNI BANQUET At a meeting of the Cape May School Alur-ni Association held at the High -School Building on.

MEMORIAL DAY "To honor the memory an3" preserve from neglect and oblivion the graves pf the dead." 1 The. Words quoted above set forth one of the solemn obligations which former service men take upon them1 selves when thgy affiliate with ofganttitions of their kind- It is' a ; solemn obligation which all former service men j owe- to their comrades ' in arms whether affiliated with OrganUations of their war "perioJi or -ray 30 — Memorial Day — is thf day universally set apart for special services an<J ceremonies commemorative - of the love and esteem which those living- still bear towards those -deceased. It is universally recognized as the day upon which the entire Natitn should pay tribute to its soldier fdtead. * Originally set apart - by General Orders of Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan, of the Grand Ariijy of the Republic, in 1868, it was for 30 years looked upon as. wholly a Civil War ceremony. After the War with Spain, the sur- . vivors -of that war period observed • the day with proper ceremonies in henor of their deceased comrades, in some localities separate and distinct ■ from the observances held by their . elder, comrades. Very shortly, however, it was rec- 1 ognized that the services should be | joint affairs; that the dav h.ad come be recognized as a day for paying 1 tribute to. the departed comrades of ; i all wars and action looking to that end was taken in most localities. The Woild War has added greatly I to the number of veteran dead, just , as it has added greatly to the number of living in duty bound to per- I form1 the sacred rites of the da'". ■ Cooperation of all the veteran societies is desirable and should bp ' ahout everywhere. The Flag j under .which the dead have fought stood for the same Principles of ' freedom,, 'patriotism and humanity : every* war, and one service under that Flag in commemoration of their deeds should amply suffice.' ( All Comrades of all wsfrs, whether , they are affiliated with an orgatiiza- ' tion or not are invited to attend di- 5 vjne' service in the First M. F.. church , on Sunday; May 29th at 10:30 a. m. and in the Baptist Church in the « evening at 7.45. Come out and pay j tribute to. our departed comrades. Charles Scherer, Oftmmander, Cape May Post No. 386, Veterans of Foreign Wars, e On Saturday afternoon. May 21, j "Cape May Hjgh School lost the most Impbrtant game of the season to Court House.: In the - first inning, Cape May scored three runs, then Doughty tightened up and pitched almost * invincible ball. Cape Maycaused some excitement in the -seventh inning when Jack Hall came thru with a clean single with three men on, after two of his team-ipates had struck out. Cherry died at first and thus -Cape May lost the last chance of tying up the game. Tl'e game was close and cleanly contested throughout and Cape May deserved credit for Its showing against the veteran Court "House team. Commander Gile of the John ,Mccray Post, G.
