three hundred yards from the shore The surf
was dreadful, and the undertow nothing could
stand. The foamy tops of the rolling pillows
were peopled with human freight, and there
was general wreck of upper works and fur

end of the rope he had brought along around
his body, gave the other end to his hardy COM
rades, telling them TO watch him, and, when
ever he got hold of any person, to haul him
back In this manner he continued to work
until he had succeeded in drawing cut nearly
one hundred persons. The vessel proved to be
the Northerner, bound from San Francisco,
California, to Portland Oregon. She had run
upon sunken rock off Cape Mendoseno, stove
hole In her bottom, and commenced filling
