cient. As soon as they landed they were fed and properly clothed. Four of them were Italians, one an immense negro, intensely black, from Yucatan, one a native of Manilla (southeast of China), one a Portuguese, two native Spaniards and two Mexicans completed the group. They all spoke Spanish. They were evidently unwilling to board the vessel the second time. As they stepped on deck the officers issued orders with dirk in hand, as if prepared to spring upon them at any moment. The vessel was towed to Philadelphia and was there abandoned by the sailors.
THE RHINE.
Over forty years ago, the Rhine, a full-rigged ship, went down near Corson's Inlet. She was carrying three hundred German emi- grants to New York, beside a cargo of iron. All were saved but one child. Tents were pitched at the southern point of beach, where they were fed and sheltered until sent away by rail.
THE ELIZABETH.
Thirty years ago the full-rigged ship Elizabeth, Queenstown to New York, carrying two hundred and fifty Irish emigrants and a cargo of marble and cork, sank near Corson's Inlet. No lives were lost. The crew and passengers were taken to the Dolphin Hotel at Somers' Point. The following morning they were conveyed to the nearest railroad station to finish their journey by land, their num- bers reinforced by several children born during the night. The old hotels could tell strange tales of shipwrecks ; how it was necessary at times to resort to severe measures to prevent bloodshed among the rescued crew and officers; when the captain was secured with bolts in one room, the mates in another and the sailors imprisoned in still another apartment till their fury had subsided or they were removed to safer quarters. These troubles arose when the sailors, in mutiny, had wrecked the vessel purposely; when the accident had occurred through the neglect of the officer on watch or the captain had been harsh and cruel.

WRECK IN THE BAY.
The long, low hull, lying keel upwards on Bond's Bar in Great Egg Harbor Bay, adds one more to the vast number of unknown wrecks which are cast up every year. This was first seen on Great Egg Harbor Bar, where it remained for a short time. During a storm it cleared the obstruction, and in the most uncanny manner wound its way in and out among the channels of the inlet as if guided by an unseen helmsman, never touching shoal or shore until it stranded on an island five miles from where it was first seen. It has been a well built copper-sheathed and bolted barkentine, bore a German name, and had been loaded with petroleum. The silent evidence of the most appalling of disasters, "burned at sea," tells the cause of shipwreck. A little more than a year previous to the time it was seen on this coast a vessel of the same name and cargo, in every way answering the description, was burned in the Mediter- ranean Sea. The hull drifted out through the straits of Gibralter and disappeared. It was several times reported, always in the same position-up-side down. It is the popular opinion of the coast guard of that body of water that this is the same wreck; that it has drifted with the ocean currents and been driven by storms till it has reached the point where it now lies.
Lack of space forbids an account of many other noted wrecks, among them the John Bentley, Utah, G. L. Thorn, Lottie Clotts, John Douglass, Caroline Hall, Zetland, Angela Brewer, Sallie Clark, Dashaway and Lawrence.

Houses and Lots for sale in all parts of the city on easy terms.
There never will be a time when lots will be cheaper, with so many attractions as Ocean City offers, than now.
If you want a cottage or home by the sea, on one of the highest beaches on the New Jersey coast, with Great Egg Harbor Bay and Inlet on one side, and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, where the liquor traffic is prohibited in every deed, where the Sabbath is observed, where the grass and flowers grow with rare beauty, where the sail- ing is the finest and the boating safe as on an inland lake, where the bathing is as good at one hour of the day as another, and no life lines are needed, where there is one of the best boardwalks on the New Jersey coast along the strand, where there has not been a case of drowning in seven years, where but two persons have been arrested for disorderly conduct in eight years, where there is absolutely no malaria, where living ex- penses are as cheap as anywhere, where there is no healthier climate in America, then buy one or more lots at Ocean City, while they will cost but a fraction of what they are worth at other seaside resorts.
I have lots on the main avenues for sale at from $100 to $1000 each.
I am thoroughly conversant with all facts connected with property on the beach. Those desiring any infor- mation in regard to Ocean City, or about property, should call or correspond with me.
