"Wreck on. was pawed • along the line ol pedestrians, following by a general stampede of men for the « beach. In the gloom that had settled ' over the sea just opposite the Stockton could be seen bjthein a disabled steamer i! drilling along parallel to Ihe beach, j driven by the llood ride and vrlitd. Some bystanders sealed the ' cean pier ( gates and got on the end of the struc- i lure. They could distinctly hear cries for licip coming from the disabled ves- „ 8el. Coming within reach of the pier a ' line was thrown and made fast, but The vessel drifted a iitlle by and iben * grounded about half way from the sea < end of the pier to the beach. In the t meantime signals had been made from the wreck. They were seen by the pa- f trolman who was over near the Inlet, f Hurrying back he gsve the alarm. A e number of persons arriving at Ihe gov. cruroent house, ihe boat was run rapidly , along with their assistance to a point , opposite the wreck, launched and the , w of nine men brought safely- to shore.
