through which the lifcboat is rolled,
hang the 'pctticoat brceches," or the
apparatus into which the people are
slung when being transferred from the
ship to the shore. At the opposite end
of the room are the shots, mortars,
powder TASKS, speaking trumpets,

brought into use in case of large
wreck. Extending from one side of the
room to the other is miniature line

CAPT. ST. pETEH.


The tower has windows upon every side
and within these walls some one of
the crew is constantly upon the
lookout for signals of distress from
ships and vessels at sea. A watch is
ever kept, no matter if the sky be that
ethereal, transparent blue that indi-
Gates the calm, and gives partial
assurance of a bright, clear day, or if it
be ovcrhung with lowering, storm-ladcn
clouds, when the mariner exhibits moro
or less uneasiness, be he upon salt or
fresh water, for squalls upon either are
to be feared. Above the tower from n
tall slender pole floats in the wind the
flags and pcnnants SO useful in sea tel
egraphy. Down two steep flights of
stairs, the visitor is taken into the boat
house where are kept the various appar-
atus with which lives and goods are
saved. This part of the station is by
far the most interesting.
The great, staunch and strong life
boat stands upright in the center Of
the larger of the two rooms upon tho
rollers that, when it is released, help
to send it hurrying into the waters a
