The Lost Sailors of the Dauntless.

One OF the passengers on the Dallntless

As soon as their shipmates cried ont,

as the men passed by couple of life buoys
were thrown to them, and fell within ten
feet of where they were floating. The
dingy was lowered with all possible dis

men, though protracted to II couple Of
hours, was fruitless Twice the yacht
wore round, and by great good luck came
back each time exactly to the spot where
the accident had taken place. The
buoys were still floating and We saw one
