THE GREAT STORM 
AT ORTLEYS 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 269) 
They were nearly all dippers with a 
few sheldrakes. They would come up 
the broad thoroughfare and cross our 
point directly in the wind, heading for 
the Crab Pond. The water was knee deep 
on the point, and the breaking waves 
kept the boats constantly moving. This 
made difficult shooting. The beautiful 
little ducks came in a steady flight, hun- 
dreds, yes, thousands of them; we saw 
more dippers that morning, than in all 
my other years shooting on the beau- 
tiful Barnegat, put together. 
In spite of our great handicaps, we 
gathered some in from time to time, and 
the Squire being to windward, the boom- 
ing of his ten bore told us, he too was 
getting some shooting. At noon, the 
wind having fallen a little, I started for 
the house for dinner, after which I 
was to bring a snack out for Andy. 
When I reached the landing I found 
the tide so high, that I shoved the boat 
up the path, and stepped out on the 
porch landing. Something I have never 
done before nor since. 
After dinner as I shoved my boat back 
down the pathway, a little flock of dip- 
pers came circling in from the land- 
ing, and crossing in front of me, I 
killed a right and left, and they dropped 
in what had been Peter’s garden, with- 
in one hundred yards of the house. 
W HILE Andy was enjoying his 
lunch, a flock of dippers passed 
over us down wind, a difficult 
overhead shot, as they were flying very 
swiftly. One bird fell dead on the mead- 
ow behind us, and I pushed out with the 
“sneak” to gather it, the tide was at 
least two and one-half feet deep, all 
over the meadows, and you could shove 
your boat anywhere. As I neared the 
dead bird, I saw a drifting plank some 
distance beyond, that had a peculiar 
looking bunch on it. As I drew nearer, 
the bunch slid into the water and dis- 
appeared from sight. 
Picking up the dead duck, I worked 
my way back to windward, and hold- 
ing the boat there, waited. Pretty soon 
the bunch was back on the plank again, 
so I let the boat drift before the wind, 
and held my gun ready. When within 
range, I fired at the bunch and instant- 
ly there was a great splashing around 
that plank, and I picked up five fine 
muskrats, one of them jet black. I had 
found a new sport, and showed my 
sneak box over the submerged meadow, 
following the shores of Muskrat Creek. 
In a short time I had killed twenty-five 
of them which I gave to Peter for their 
pelts. They were drowmed out of their 
houses, and were on almost every piece 
of drift wood. 
It was evident that the great tide had 
brought misery and disaster to all the 
“little people” of the salt meadows. Be- 
sides the muskrats, there were great 
numbers of the short tailed meadow 
mice, these little creatures were drift- 
ing on every floating chip and board. 
They overran our boats, and were a 
great nuisance and annoyance to us.
