An Act Of Hereism.

When the Cyprian was wrecked on
the coast of Wales . few weeks ago, the
205 people who stood horror stricken
along the shore saw an act of heroism
rarely witnessed under any circum-
stances. The Captain, John A. Stra-
chan, of Liverpool, had told those on
board that everyone must look to him
self. Most of the crew had dropped
overheard, and Captain Strachan also
prepared to leap into the pillows. He
tied ife-belt about his waist and
mounted the rail. At that moment he
noticed the pale face of boy peering
from below decks. The lad was stow
away. Anew hours ago he was sneak,
an unworthy thing, miserable pilferer
OF privileges; but now the skipper only
remembered he was q human being, to
be saved if possible, at any rate not to
be left behind. Without q word, Cap
tain Strachan unbuckled the life belt
from his waist and dashed it ship-shape
upon the little stowaway, bidding him
save himself. II can SWIM" said the
Captain. .take the belt" Over the
side went the stowaway, lifted upon the
surf like a cork; over the side went the
Captain, trusting, like the good brave
fellow that he was, to his strength,
enfeebled with long watching and anx-
iety. But swimming was impossible in
such sea. The boatswain, struggling
for his own life, caught at the Captain,
who was still making Roadway, and
both went down, never to be seen again.
while the little stowaway, with the good
Captains life-belt about his waist, was
flung upon the Welsh coast, battered
about, but alive to tell the story of his
strange fate and his kind masters hero
