"Capt. TURLEY had fallen into a mistake in his reckoning, frequently, an unavoidable affair, and had imagined he was at least twenty miles to the eastward of his real situation. He 'cast the lead' but the result did not undeceive him for the sounding were about the same as he would have had if where he fancied he was. Still, however, anxious, for the night was dark, and the gale rising from the northeast, he went aloft, and there discovered a light, which still further deceived him, for, predisposed to expect the 'fifteen fathom light' in the direction in which he looked and seeing nothng in the light before him to discountenance this supposition , he was ever more satisfied of his locality and ran straight upon the coast". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

The anchorage ground or roadsted, is formed by a cove in the southern shore, directly west of the pitch of the cape and the seaward end of an extensive shoal called the 'Shears', the tail of which makes out from the shore about five miles up the bay near the mouth of the Broadkill creek, from whence it extends eastward and terminates at a point about two miles to the northward of the shore at the cape. The Breakwater consists of an insulated dike or wall of stone, the transversal section of which is a trapezium, the base resting on the bottom, whilst the summit line forms the top of the works. The outer sides represent the inner and outer slopes of the work, that to the eastward being much greater than the other. THe inward slope is 45 degrees , the top is horizontal, 22 feet in breadth, and raised 5-1/2 feet above the highest spring tide. The outward, or sea slope, is 39 feet in latitude upon a base of 105-3/4 feet. Both of these dimensions being measured in relation to a horizontal plane passage by a point 27 feet below the lowes spring tide. The base bears to the altitude near the same ratio as similar lines in the profiles of the Cherbourg and Plymouth breakwaters. The opening or entrance from the ocean is 650 yards in width between the north point of the Cape and the east end of the Breakwater. At this entrance the harbor will be accessible during all winds coming fr! om the sea. The dike is formed in a straight line from the E.S.E. to W.N.W. , 1200 yards is the length of this portion of the work, which is designed to serve the purposes of a breakwater. At a distance of 350 yards from the upper or western end of the breakwater, which space forms the upper entrance, a similar dike of 500 yards in length is projected in a driect line. W. by S 1/2 S. forming an angle of 146 degree 15 min with the breakwater. This work is designed more particularly as an icebraker. The whole length of the two dikes above described , which are now partly commenced, will be 1700 yards. They will contain, when finished, 900,000 cubic yards of stone, composed of pieces of basaltic rock and granite, weighing from a quarter of a ton to three tons and upwards. The depth of water at low tide is from four to six fathoms throughtout the harbor which will be formed by these works and the cove of the southern shore. This is calculated to afford a perfect shelter over a! space of water surface of seven tenths of a square mile. The great ob ject to be gained by the construction of an artificial harbor in the roadstead are to shelter vessels from the action of waves caused by the winds blowing from the E. to the N.W. round by the N. and also to protect the agaunst injuries arising from floating ice descending the bay from the N.W.

On Monday morning last, the POICTIERS , BELVIDERE, schooner PAZ, and the smaller vessels composing the Delaware blockading squadron, left their anchorage a little above Lewes and appeared to be going to sea, but about seven miles below Lewes that came too and it was believed that their object was to get water from Newbolds pond. Col. Davis, on perceiving this, immediately sent off a detachment of 150 men to prevent them from landing. The detachment fortunately reached the pond before the English were able to land. The enemy thus being deprived of getting water, unless at the risk of fighting for it, gave up the intended enterprise and put off from the shore. The barges were hoisted on board the Poictiers and Belvidere and they immediately put to sea, supposed for Burmuda, for a supply of fresh water which they have long wanted. Immediately after this the buoys, which the enemy have lately placed in the Delaware, were taken up by our boats. In the course of the day the SPAR! TEN entered the Capes but luckily not before we had succeded in taking up the buoys The SPARTEN is said to be one of the most handsome vessels in the English navy. Should any one of our frigates peep into the Delaware we may confidentially expect to hear of her being taken. Sparten is accompanied only by one tender and a few barges. So that, for a few days at least, the people of the upper part of the bay may consider themselves safe from an attack. This, however, should not stop their preparations for a defense, BERESFORD declares that when he returns with a reinforcement, which he is expected to have, the higher parts of the river will be visited by him. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
