and there Is a gray granite monument,
surrounded by marble statue of the

A story of the Surf.
About IL p. m. PatrOlman Eugene Clis-
by was returning from the western beat
to the station when his watchful eve de-
tected vessels light through the mist
in close proximity to the eastern end of
MiacOmet rip. He hasteRsd to set off
warning light, but, after one or two at
tempts. falling to ignite it and seeing he
was losing valuable time, he fastened to
the house and called all hands, hurrylng
out again and setting off his light, but
it was too late, as the unfortunate craft
was then nearly apOn the beach. The
men quickly gathered. and entertaining
what of their apparatus would be neees-
sary FASTENED to the station and hauled
the hand cart rapidly to the spot. The
surf was raging with terrific fury, com
pletely snvelOping the vessel at times
and the men in the darkness were COM
PEELED to keep high upon the beach. The
tall masts could be discerned, wringing
and twisting, and threatening to 90 over
the side at any moment. At that time
1t was found that the crew had all taken
refuge in the lee mizzen rigging, and
Captain Vesdsr then shot line over the
jib stay, throwing it thus far forward to
avoid hitting any person on board Bat
none Of the poor fellows in the rigging
dared to leave to secure the line. Final
ly Patrolman Williams. selecting a
smooth time. rushed down with hand
line and succeeded In landing it safely
upon the bow. The sailors were then
made to understand this fact, and whom
the sea was calm for few seconds care
fully made their way forward and Sc
cured the line, hauling it in and making
fast. But they. being at work with but
the feeble light Of the side lanterns,
could not see that tall block was fast
to the line, and it again required much
shouting to make them continue haul
iHg. When the block came in sight their
quick sailor eyes apparently frightened
and they knew at once what should be
done. Making it fast to the capstan, the
word was shouted to those on shore, and
it was the work of but a very few mo-
meats TO whip off hawser and arrange
breeches buoy for landing the eager
seamen. The seas rolled the vessel 20
that the hawser could not be kept taut,
and as she wonld lurch shOrsward it
would sag, touching the sand, and then
with her reverse motion snap back taut;
consequently it required two men to
support the crutches which held up the
shore end of the hawser. Under these
difficulties. and in almost total darkness.
the work Of bringing the men to shore
proceeded. Some of them who came over
the line when the seas threw in the most
fiorcelv were at times submerged in the
water and then jerked aloft by the sud
den tightening of the hawser; and one
mere unfortunate than his companions
became entangled in the breeches buoy
and was carried up feet first, and then
fell. but was caught by the ready hands
Of the surfmen, escaping unframed. BY
midnight the crew were all ashore. The
vessel proved to be the thres-masted
schooner Warren Sawyer. with a crew OF
seven men.-Nantucket Enquirer.
