TWO BRAVE SAILORS.
Dashing Through Ring of Fire to Save
the Lives OF Frenchmen.

tHo LIVES OF Frencnmeu.
In the year 1872 French vessel,
called Melamie, was lying at. anchor at
the mouth of the River AdeHr, waiting
for fair weather to cross the bar which
separates the Port of Bayonne from the
Bay of Biscay. She was loaded with
five hundred barrels of petroleum,
which, just as the crew we're turning in
for the night, suddenly exploded The
ship was soon surrounded by a belt Of
floating fire. The nearest vessel at the
time was British brig, the Anna Belle
Clark, from Ardrosson. Her master,
Captain Sharpe, knowing there were
some French sailors in the midst of the
flames, shouted to one of his crew, John
Mcintosh:
. Come on, my lad! Let us 60 to their
rescue.
Without q moments hesitation these
men launched the dingy, and in few
minutes were alongside the blazing yes
sci. In this short interval what re-
manned of the standing gear of the
Melamie had become one blazing mass
of flames Nothing daunted, the Brit
ish sailors, with the certainty of in
curing the greatest physical suffering,
If not the loss OF their lives, dashed
through the floating circle of fire, and
laid hold OF the rigging Of the burning
ship. They succeeded in taking off two
men in such helpless state from burns
and bruises that they could not possibly
have been saved had their rescue been
delayed -mucszAynger. In the perform
ance Of this heroic act the Englishmen
were more terribly burned than the men
they rescued. 1t was first feared that
Captain Sharpe would lose the sight OF
one eye, and his face was permanently
disfgured. Mcintosh Jared still worse;
SO severe were his injuries that his dis
charge from the ship was absolutely
necessary. He was conveyed to the
Bsyonne hospital, where he lay for
nearly month, at times In the greatest
suffering. To show their appreciation
Of this act Of heroism the British com
m unity raised sum of 900 for the two
