remained until they saw an opportunity
to make for the shore between the
breakers.
They had gone but few yards when
heavy breaker struck one of Peter
sens oars, knocking him out of the
boat and nearly drowning the whole
crew. They were unable to save Peter
sen. on account of the high surf, and
his body sank quickly from sight.
Petersen is a married man, but II is

this country, except one unmarried
daughter, who lives at 36l Hancock
