and could see the men on the fore
yard and hear them sing out for help,
but could render them no assistance
on account OF there being such Il
heavy sea. They SAW men on the
beach handling Il boat and attempt
ing to get of to tie vessel; watched
them set of within 100 feet of the
wreck, when il big sea struck them,
knocking them end over end; saw
| the crowd rush into the surf and
pick up the men and boat;
SAW THEM MAN HER AGAIN,
And make II second attempt with
like results. The men said before
they knew the attempt was hopeless,
but would show the poor fellows
that they were doing all i'll their
power to save them. The men who
manned the boat in the surf where
Burkman, Dexter, Parsons, Breen
and one of the ships crew. These
men deserve the greatest credit for
their untiring efforts and heroic
bravery under the most adverse and
desperate circumstances. BY this
time night was coming on and moth
ing further was to lee done. Tie
CROWD dispersed and the Enh><
went into the bay. The tug had a
small metallic sWf boat on board,
which they gave to the men on the
beach to make the attempt the next
morning, and then started for Cape
