Mann, of Sandusky, second wheelsman, stood
at the wheel until the pilot house was so cnvel-
opcd in flames and was then SO badly burned as
to be unable to save himself. Such noble self
devotion is rare and the man capable of it is a
hero.
John Chester, head waiter, left his wife in the
pantry, to get some clothes for her, but when
he returned she was gone. He sprang overheard
and after being five or ten minutes in the water,
secured the yawl which had burned loose from
the boat and was on fire This fire he extn-
guishcd and in the boat saved six or seven per-
sons. His wife had been thrown overheard
by Capt. Roby, clung to the wheel and was
saved.
The Captain had gathered his wife, mother,
and daughter around him near the mast The
last words he spoke were, "Dcar wife prepare to
meet the worst He claspcd her convlsvey
in his arms, kissed her, and quick as thought
Whirled her over the deck into the waller. He
then grasped his mother and threw her overheard
then his little daughter, and lastly jumped in
himself They We're seen no more till taken out
