The constantly changing population of a seaside resort\\nrenders accuracy almost impossible except for a short period. We\\nbelieve, however, the book to be so complete as to be of great\\nadvantage to our citizens, our summer residents and transient\\nguests. The demand has already secured for it a large circulation.\\nWe are indebted for information contained in the historical\\nsketches to the marine official records of the coast, the Historical\\nCollections of the state, and to the older residents, the Life\\nGuards, Sailors and Fishermen of Southern New Jersey.\\nMuch credit is due the talented artist W.

The news occasioned great\\njoy among the crew and passengers of whom there were seven of\\nthe former and ten of the latter, as they expected, according to this\\nintelligence, to land in New York on the following day. The\\ncaptain, imbued with the spirit engendered by the fatal error to a\\ndegree, of recklessness, spread every stitch of canvas to a heavy\\nnor easter and, with spars strained to their utmost, and cordage\\ncreaking, the good ship sped merrily on to her swift destruction.\\nAt 3 o clock A.M. on Saturday the warning cry of breakers ahead\\nwas sounded, and a moment later the vessel struck, refused to obey\\nher helm, and backed up on the beach stern foremost. In a short\\ntime the sea broke entirely over her. The wildest confusion pre-\\nvailed as the passengers rushed from the cabin with no protection\\nfrom a piercing storm of snow and hail but their night clothing.\\nEight of the seventeen souls on board got into the long boat and a\\nheavy sea swept it overboard. It was then discovered to be\\nfastened by a cable which they were unable to cut or in any way\\ndetach, and amid piercing shrieks, with the means of rescue just at\\nhand, as the long boat would probably have floated to shore, they\\nwent down beside the vessel. The others succeeded in reaching\\nthe round-top except a Frenchman by the name of Cologne, who\\nremained in the shrouds. At daybreak the vessel was discovered\\nfrom the mainland, and willing hearts sped across the bay and\\ndown the beach to the rescue. Boats were launched again and\\nagain only to be capsized and hurled back by the angry waters.\\nEvery means which human skill and daring could devise was tried\\ntill Sunday at noon, when they signaled to the vessel that nothing\\nmore could be done, and they should try to build a raft of the\\nspars. The poor wretches held up their pocket books and watches\\nas an inducement for those on shore to continue their efforts, but", "height": "3354", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "oceancitynjguide00rush_0091.jp2"}, "92": {"fulltext": "42 OCEAN CITY GUIDE BOOK.\\nthe limit of their power had been reached long before. Exhaus-\\ntion from cold and hunger now did rapid work, and one by one,\\nuntil but five were left, they dropped into the sea. Captain Snow,\\none of the remaining five, attempted to swim ashore and was lost.\\nIn the meantime the mate, who had fortunately secured a hatchet,\\nconstructed a raft. A negro, who was assisting, was washed over-\\nboard, but swam to shore. The Frenchman, who had remained in\\nthe shrouds up till this time, fell into the water senseless he was\\ncaught by the hair and thus towed behind the raft, which was\\nfinally carried ashore by the breakers. The saddest procession that\\never trod this beach took up the line of march toward the bay to\\ncross to the mainland. Four exhausted, half-frozen men, borne in\\nthe arms of those who had gone to the rescue, followed by others\\nbearing a rudely constructed bier upon which lay the form of a\\nyoung French girl, the only female on board the ill-fated vessel,\\nand the only victim whose body floated to shore. Her linen cloth-\\ning was daintily embroidered, and jewelry was concealed in the\\nbraids of her hair. Many reports were given of her beauty. Dr.\\nMaurice Beasley, an eye-witness, said She was the concentration\\nof all the graces of the female form. Her remains were interred\\nin the burying ground of the Golden family, a little plot now over-\\ngrown with weeds and briars a short distance from the wharf at\\nBeasley s Point. Three days later her uncle, Mr. Cologne, who\\ndied from exhaustion was buried by her side. For seven miles, the\\nentire length of the island, the beach was strewn with cashmere\\nshawls, leghorn flats, thread lace, fine china and bales of silk and\\nsatin. Remnants of the merchandise are still in existence. It is\\nsupposed the hull is lying some distance out, covered with sand,\\nand still contains treasure. After the storm of September, 1889,\\nwhich swept the Atlantic seaboard, pieces of china washed ashore\\nat this point, which, when compared with those secured at the time\\nof the wreck, are of the same design, pattern and quality, and are\\ndoubtless from the old brig.

AND H. SCULL.\\nThe two-masted schooner J. and H. Scull, lumber laden, from a\\nNorth Carolina port to Atlantic City, attempted to enter Great Egg\\nHarbor Bay, and stranded, January i8, 1892. The vessel struck\\nwith great force. By the skillful management of the captain she\\ncleared the bar and swept into deeper waters, only to become un-\\nmanageable and aground a second time. The life-guards of Ocean\\nCity Life-Saving station immediately signaled to her, and a little\\nlater the surf-boat was launched and speeding over the water. The\\nmuscle and brawn of powerful arms were brought into full play as\\nthe guards bent gallantly to the oars, while the voice of the cap-\\ntain rang above the roar and tumult of the waves, as he issued his\\norders, standing firm and erect in the stern of the boat, guiding it\\nupon its perilous journey, one moment poised upon the crest of a\\nwave and the next buried from the sight in the trough of the sea,\\nto rise again on the succeeding wave. The work of transferring\\nthe crew from the vessel to the surf-boat was very dangerous, the\\nheavy sea causing the vessel to plunge violently. The captain, the\\nmate, two sailors, the cook and his wife were finally landed without\\nany loss of life. All efforts to remove the vessel from the bar were\\nineffectual she was then stripped of sails, cordage and topmasts,\\npartially unloaded and abandoned for a time. The J. and H. Scull\\nwas an exceptionally staunch vessel. February 29th, during a\\nviolent storm, she cut through and displaced tons of the sand in\\nwhich she was imbedded, plunged across the channel and landed\\non the main beach, without one bolt of her hull withdrawn, the\\nmainmast and bowsprit intact, and the gilt arabesque scroll work of\\nthe figure head untarnished. Remains of the hull may now be\\nseen at the north point of the beach.", "height": "3354", "width": "1877", "jp2-path": "oceancitynjguide00rush_0095.jp2"}, "96": {"fulltext": "44 OCEAN CITV GUIDE BOOK.\\nPANCHITO.\\nAmong the driftwood piled here and there on the island may be\\nseen an occasional piece of logwood, which owes its preservation\\nto the fact of its tough, hard fibre, being almost proof against de-\\nstruction by ordinary tools. This wood, lying hundreds of miles\\nfrom its native soil, was brought here by the Spanish brig, Pan-\\nchito, wrecked February 13, 1888. The circumstances attending\\nthe disaster were very mysterious. She came on the bar in the\\nnight, but sent up no signals of distress, and even extinguished her\\nlights. At daybreak the life-guards discovered the vessel lying in\\na dangerous position and immediately went to her aid. The cap-\\ntain represented her as belonging to a wealthy ranchman of Vera\\nCruz and bound for New York. The deck was loaded with log-\\nwood, and the hold was partly loaded with logwood and hides. The\\ncrew of thirteen men were taken off in life-boats and cared for at\\nthe life-saving station. After seven days of hard labor a wrecking\\nsteamer succeeded in getting the vessel off the bar. As she was\\nbeing towed into deeper water the cable parted and she struck\\nagain. The deck load was thrown off and she floated a second\\ntime. A small quantity of hard tack, a few Mexican beans and\\na little sugar was all there was on board to eat. The first\\nmate, an American, was intelligent and well educated.

It was a constant source of\\nwonder to spectators how this could be done without inflicting\\nserious injury. The captain carried two watches of exquisite work-\\nmanship, besides a number of rings and other jewelry. The mates\\nhad in their posssession different kinds of jewelry set with precious\\nstones. The ten sailors were a motley group indeed, and were in a\\nfilthy condition. Their long, unkempt hair, unshaven beards and\\nswarthy complexions gave them the appearance of wild beasts\\nrather than men.

No lives were\\nlost. The crew and passengers were taken to the Dolphin Hotel at\\nSomers Point. The following morning they were conveyed to the\\nnearest railroad station to finish their journey by land, their num-\\nbers reinforced by several children born during the night. The old\\nhotels could tell strange tales of shipwrecks how it was necessary\\nat times to resort to severe measures to prevent bloodshed among\\nthe rescued crew and officers; when the captain was secured with\\nbolts in one room, the mates in another and the sailors imprisoned\\nin still another apartment till their fury had subsided or they were\\nremoved to safer quarters.
