peserver. 1t is suspended by stout
ropes from pulley, which the syrfmen
quickly rig upon the rope connecting
ship and shore in such a way that it
moves freely back and forth. A guy
line, one end of which was sent aboard
the ship with the rope, Is now fastened
to the breeehes buoy. and the surfmen
pull on a line which starts the breeches
buoy travelling seaward. AS soon as it
reaches the ship one Of the shipwrecleed
gets into the pair of oanves breeches,
sticking leg through each capacious
hole, and grasping the life pfeserver.
which comes just under his arnpits.
He does not need to be tied In, for his
seat is secure.
All being ready, the surfmen ashore
begin to haul in. The brooches buoy
rolls rapidly shoreward. suspended from
It's hempen track. For most of the dis
tanoe the man In the breeches is dang
ling above the water. When he reaches
the surf, though, he is bound to get
ducking. He holds his breath, takes a
fresh hold on the life preserver. and in
he goes. The next minute he is on tho
beach, where dozen strong hands
reach out to pluck him out of his can
vas brooches. The buoy is sent straight
back for another, and so on until all
are rescued. A dozen men have been
brought ashore in this way by a single
breeches buoy in less than an hour.
1t sometimes happens that woman
is aboard the ship. She may be the
captains wife. If the ship is steamer,
there may be women passengers. The
idea of getting into this pair Of canvas
breeches may be repugnant to woman,
but she does not hesitate second. Pull
ing her dress up around her. in she
steps as unhesitatingly as though she
were born to trousers. All she asks at
that moment is to get ashore.
There have been many devices for
rescuing the shipwrecked, including
the life car with which the stations on
our coast arc provided. but no other
appliance is of such tried utility as the
breeches buoy.
