But when the passengers of the Old Dominion steamer landsd they too began waving their hays and handkerchiefd vigerously. The cause of these demonstrations was mosquitoes. At the railway station in Lewes there were fires of pennyroyal and other weeds burning in front of the windows to drive away the insects and the passengers were glad to get in the smoke ad enjoy a moments immunity from the annoyance. At Rehoboth Station on the Junction and Breakwater Railway, the mosquitoes were more numerous than in Lewes. The negroes in the peach orchards had their heads covered with old sheets ith holes cut through for their eyes. The men around the depot and the passengers in waiting had their heads covered with mosquitoes nets like veils. It was impossible to purchase a piece of mosquitoe netting in the neighborhood. While the stages were waiting a man was stationed at the head of each horse to hold the nearly frantic animals. At Rehoboth Beach the mosquitoes were thicker than at the station. There were at the beginning of the week over four hundred guest at the Bright House and on Friday not twentyfive remained. They had been driven away by the mosquitoes. Persons walking in the streets were almost obscure by the clouds of mosquitoes around them. The ladies light dresses were amost black, so thickly were they covered. The hotel proprietors were so pestered by the insects that t! hey seemed not to care whether their guest remained or not. Double nets on the windows and darkened rooms gave partial relief, but the mosquitoes made their way everywhere. It was only by having a negro waving a cloth over each person at a table that guest could partake of their meals. It is said that the NE winds and muggy weather brought them here from the South Jersey and Delaware swamps and that the pest would probably be ended only with a strong wind from the ocean. Sailors say they met the mosquitoes many miles out at sea, somethiing they never before experienced. Nearly all the places along the coast were similarly infested but none of them to the extent as this part of Delaware. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

He was known among the old and young as "Uncle Peter" and was a much of a landmark of that ancient town as was the Breakwater. No one knew where "Uncle Peter" came from or what was his true name. To some folks he said his name was William Bryan while others declared that it was 'Gluseppi'. The latter was probably his correct name. Uncle Peter always said that he was born on the little island of Malta in the Mediterranean during the time of the bombardment of Napoleon in 1708. He would talk little about his early life but he showed traces of refinement. Various stories were told on him, one is that years ago a lady of the Italian nobility became anamored of him and he was compelled to flee because of threateed vengenace on the part of the husband. Another was that he served as a drummer under Napoleon in the battle of Waterloo and afterward, while at sea, was shipwrecked off St. Helen and privately managed to secure an audience with the banished emperor but was discovered by the British and sent adrift in a boat and finally rescued. It was in 1868 that "Uncle Peter" went to Lewes with a man named Carpenter from Boston, under contract with Captain Willaim Williams and they worked on some wrecked vessels on the shoals at the mouth of Delaware Bay. Afterward, the two engaged in the junk business in Lewes but Carpenter soon left. "Uncle Peter" lived in a little hut on the Lewes River, among old iron and bones and other odds and ends. He did all his own cooking and was always alone. He prospered until a few year ago when he was hampered by infirmities. Then friends assisted him. A great believer in the power of faith "Uncle Peter" was very devout. For hours at a time he would engage in silent devotions in his hut and when he was found dead his body was in the attitude of prayer. He could speak several languages and was a valuable interpreter for the shipping men about Lewes. It was thought that "Uncle Peter" had amassed several thousand dollars as he was miserly in his habits and that he had hidden treasure buried along the creek but it has not yet developed. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

DUNN left Wilmington for Lewes on the steamer 'Hamilton' of the Revenue Marine Service which had been placed at his disposal by the Secretary of the Treasury. The object of the visit was to break up a band of smugglers who were known to exist at the Delaware Breakwater, by the arrest of their confederates and the meting out to them the punsihment which their offense merits. The special offense alleged against these violators of the custom laws is that on or about the nights of June 1 and 2, 1874, they fraudulently received from the bark Masonic , a West India merchantman, bound for New York, but lying inside the Breakwater, from seven to thirty barrels of sugar, a part of which they offered for sale afterwards. About nine days after the transaction was alieged to have taken place, WILLIAM ELLEGOOD, JR., WILLIAM CROSBY and ALTON CROSBY, were arrested on a warrent issued by United States Commissioner JOHN D. RODNEY of Georgetown, before whom they were examined and by whom discharged. This examination was believed at Washington to have been insufficient and was so unsatisfactory to the government that other officers were detailed to work up the case. Arriving off Lewes about 3 o'clock this morning, a boat was lowered, into which the Marshal his deputies and a detachment from the cutter, under charge of LIEUTENANT GREENWAY, entered and reaching the railroad pier, they first secured the bum-boat belonging to the Crosbys and in which the smuggling is believed to have been carried on. A descent was then made upon the residence of WILLIAM ELLEGOOD, SR., along the beach known as the 'Pavilion" and here three of the prisoners were arrested. The party then proceeded into Lewes where they put under arrest JOSHUA ELLEGOOD and SAMUEL MARSHAL. A deputy was desspatched to Georgetown to subpoena witnesses and later in the day WILLIAM ELLEGOOD, JR., was found in Lewes although the officers had been told he was at the county seat. At night, ANDREW H. BAKER was taken in custody, a visit in the afternoon having failed in finding him home. He had departed as soon as the other arrest were made know, taking with him a large lot of goods wich had been obtained by other than legitimate means. Baker, is charged not only with smuggling but also with dealing in smuggled goods and a quanty of wares of this kind were seized upon his premises. Of these prisoners, Ellegood and his sons are natives of Sussex county. Years ago the former resided at Georgetown and was a highly esteemed citizen of that town. He is a cousin to the State auditor. The Crosby boys came to this State a year ago from Cape Cod. The youngest is a boy only 14 years of age. Mr. Marshall is a native of Sussex County and Mr. Baker is a German by birth. This smuggling of goods at the Breakwater has been in progress for many years and it is supposed has resulted to the government, annually, in the loss of several thousands of dollars. The work is conducted under cover of darkness and the goods are first secreted somewhere in the vicinity for a day or two and then conveyed across the bay to a convenient point in New Jersey, whence they are shipped to Philadelphia and New York. Portions of these goods are also sold in the lower part of Delaware. There are grave hints of too great laxity on the part of some of the government officers about Lewes. Numerous instances are reported that if proper precaution were made, smuggling ashore of large quanties of goods would have been prevented. This seems to be the prevalling opinion about Lewes and there was much gratification expressed there today at the turn of affairs that had been taken. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
