J., Nov. 17. "We are holding our own, and will be able to reach the Dela ware breakwater pier," Is tbe wireless message received by a coast guard from the Lenape, carrying 207 passengers, at 1:30 this a. m. Tbe Lenape. said It expected to reach the Over Falls light ship, which Is three or four miles from shore within fifteen minutes, and asked the coast guard cutters Seneca and KIckapoo, which were nearby, to meet ber there. The fire. It was gathered froi radio dispatches, was confined to the ship's hold a fact which led shore stations to minimize the chances of a catastrophe. At 1:10 a. m., one of the coast guard cutters reported that the Lenape was IS miles from shore and proceeding at a speed that should bring her Into the Dela ware breakwater harbor at Lewes, within an hour. . NEW YORK, Nov. 18. -Wednesday The Clyde liner Lenape. carry ing 200 passengers, enroute from New York to Charleston, and Jack sonville, Fla., was afire at the mouth of Delaware bay early this morn ing, but apparently was not In any Imminent danger.' - At 12:30 the Lenape flashed. message which said: ... ... r . . Sbe was then passing Five Fath oms benk at the mouth of the bay, and was headed for Delaware break water, making IS knots an hour. Neither radio stations on land, nor two coast guard cutters, rushing to the passenger ship's aid, had been able at this time to learn the ex tent of the tire on the Lenape. Ad vices from the ship had been most meagre. However, she had request ed the coast guard cutters Seneca and KIckapoo to come to her aid, and had refused the assistance of several other ships, which were pro ceeding to her side. At 12:45 the KIckapoo had sight ed the Lenape and wirelessed that she was then trying to determine the . gravity of Ihe peril besetting the liner. Tbe Seneca was not far away. The Lenape sailed from New York at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Her first distress signal was picked up by the Independent Wireless com pany at 10:20 p. m., and broad casting of radio programs was still ed at once. The Lenape reported at this time that she was heading for Delaware breakwater, being then about eight miles southeast of the Five Fathoms bank lightship. In a short time the Seneca, tha shipping board steamer Chickasaw, tbe Panama railroad steamer Ancon, and the old Dominion liner Hamil ton, had turned to the Lenape's assistance. At 12:15 the Hamilton reported that she was within 14 miles of tbe Lenape, but soon came the message from Capt. Devereaux of the Clyde liner, that the assistance of the Hamilton and the other commercial vessels was not necessary. Ladies! Your Opportunity Clearance Women's and .
