lot separating the waters OF the bay and the
ocean. have made two gallant rescues In the
past week with the Lyle gun and tho brseches
buoy. The opportunity to use these appliances
Is always welcomed. because it means q
fight with the elements that stirs the blood
and strains tho muscle. Whenever the news
that ship Is ashore is telephoned from sta
tion to station over the beach wires every surf.
man within twenty miles says envous things
about the lucky patrolmen who are called out
to make the rescue. The ordinary routine Of
the beach patrol Is full Of hardship and
monotonous In the extreme. A daring rescue
makes talk for the rest Of tho winter.
