2.O49 were saved and 58 lost; there were
succored at stations 37I shipwrecked per
sons, l,074 days reliefs being afforded
them In the aggregate the life saving
crews assisted off when stranded, got out
of dangerous positions and piioted to
places of safety, SO vessels, the estimated
value of the whole number of vessels in-
volved was 81, 922 ,276. and of their car
goes 1865 Clio, making a total value of
property in peril $2.887. $50. of this
amount about one half was saved and one
half lost: the number of disasters involv-
ing the total loss of vessels was Sd; the
number of disasters to vessels, 217, was
greater than that of any previous year.tke
highest former number having been III.
The report closes with an exhibit of eff
| ficiency of the life saving stations, showing
the proportion of those shipwrecked and
saved had risen from one out of 81 IN 1876,
| to one out of 216 ID 1879.

General Hatch's assurance to the Indians
that the report of the advance OF troops at
the Los Piuos agency is wholly untrue.
| Secretary SehuIz has for some time sus-
pected that some adverse element was
secretly at work to retard, or, if possible,
