John William Thomas, assistant keeper OF
the Wolf-Trap hghtstation, which sue
cumbed to the ice last week. had an ex-
perience calculated to quicken his wits
and open his weather-eye. and will doubt
less be remembered as the supreme event
of his life.
Mr.. Thomas was alone at the station,
which is in twelve feet Of water and three
miles from the shore. IL 10 not easy to APP
preciate the dreadful forebodings which
filled his mind as day after day he watched
the thIckening ice. conscious as he was or

distress signal unnoticed, with that vast
field of ice expending ITS mighty power
against tho piles and gathering additional
strength every moment as it overlapped
and piled up against the doomed structure

To pray in such n cisis was most natu;;
raj thing to do. and pray be did, long and
fervently. and he feels assured that his
prayers were answered from on high. Tor II
was not very long before he deserted IN the
distance the smoke of steamer battling
until getting abreast OF the station she
was stopped by the thick ice. Although
the steamer was some half mile out to-
wards the ship-ohsnnel, the nervy keeper
determined to abandon the station to It's
impending fate and make the effort to
reach her.
