Carried Out to Sea While Being Baptized.
While being baptized by immersion in the Atlantic Ocean at the foot of Remington Street, Arverne, L. I., Lucy Clary, a negress, was carried out to sea on a big wave which separated her from the Reverend J. W. Dudley, pastor of the Shiloh Colored Baptist Church, Arverne, who was conducting the baptismal services.
After being rescued, she declined to go further with the ceremonies there, and they were continued at the church.
