From The World newspaper, dated August 20, 1893:
Two Drownings At Greenport
One Caused by a Yacht Which Carried No Light
Greenort, Aug. 19 - Two drowning accidents occurred here late last night. The schooner yacht Emerald ran down a rowboat in Peconic Bay, in which there were two men and two women. They were thrown into the water and Miss Delia Duffy was lost.
One of the men jumpd and caught the rigging of the schooner and pulled himself aboard. The other two were rescued by G.H. Belcher, owner of the sloop Thistle, which was lying at anchor near the scene of the accident. Miss Duffy's body has not yet been recovered. She was a cook at the Manhasset House. At the time the accident occurred, the Emerald had no light burning. She is owned by J. Rogers Maxwell, of the New York Yacht Club.
