The Rainbow, Unity, En-\\nterprise and Skunk, and after d}-eing the red coats a deeper crim-\\nson, towed one British boat after another into port, the latter\\nvessel alone recording nineteen captures. The fate of the brig\\nFame is told, when on the night of February 22, 1781, she\\ncapsized near Somers Point, and of a crew of thirty-two men,\\ntwenty-seven succumbed to the sleep of death from exposure\\nor drowning. Before the Life Saving Ser\\\\ ice reached out its\\nstrong arms to rescue victims of shipwreck, the most noted was\\nthat of the Perseverance. In 181 5, this brig went down with\\nthirteen of the ship s company of seventeen and a cargo valued\\nat $400,000. A number of relics from this wreck are still in\\nexistence. The old Dutch hull, lying keel upwards on\\nBond s bar, in Great Egg Harbor Bay, bearing the evidence of\\nthe cause of disaster in its charred timbers, is reported in the\\nrecords of the Coast Guard of the Mediterranean Sea as a Ger-\\nman barkentine, loaded with petroleum, which burned in those\\nwaters the hull was then driven by storms or drifted with the\\ncounter current of the Gulf Stream, reported again and again\\nby incoming vessels, always holding its inverted position till it\\nfound a haven on this side of the Atlantic.
