Lighter Rescues 2 Men From Drowning Off Hull Gaty
A steam lighter Jessie James belonging to the American Glue Company rescued two United States Army privates Joseph Langley and Harold Belcher after their boat capsized in a squall near Hull Gaty. The men from Fort Strong, Peddock’s Island, were en route to Fort Warren for rations when sails were torn and a propeller became entangled, but the lighter retrieved the sailors before drifting to Lovell’s Island. Towboats failed to move the vessel, and salvage work continued at low water.
