Gai,an, Rescue.

One OF. the most gallant acts of life
saving, that I have ever en.happen-
ed here to-day. John Matthews,
aged years. and Joe Crumb, aged
10 years, were sculling about in the
channels in separate boats when Joe
Crumb accidentally fell overheard,
John was soma distance from joe
but instead of crying for help he as
coolly and deliberately as any mem
Der of the Life Saving Service, scull-
ed as rapidly as he could to Joe's as
sistance, reaching him just in time
to save him. He was not strong
enough, however, to pull Joe in but
told him to hold fast to the boat and
with him clinging to it he sculled to
the shore. Joe's rescue from wa
terry grave was certainly due to his
courage, skill and Judgment. This
was witnessed by several members of
the Life Saving crew and they said
that no man conld have done more
tnan John did. In 4 years experience
as @ surfman have never seen n
deed more worthy of medal than
this one.

THE cAsK OF ALCOHOL.

1t remained there for several days and
nobody called for 1t. Finally little
holes were bored in the head of the
barrel and the men used straws TO get
the liquor into their stomachs. II was
a great scheme. One by one all the
boys were let into the secret, and often
n stray brakeman or aagman would be
given a h~ospitable drink. The mode Of
getting at the alcohol began 10 grow
