On the last trip of his boat from New York to Southampton he dis tinguished himself in way which has had prompt recognition from his admir- CTS everywhere. Three days out from New York the British ship Arno was sighted. The latter was signaling for help, and her captain asked the Norman nia's captain to take off the crew, as the British boat was expected to sink. Though the waves were rolling ''moun- tain high" Capt Barends began the res- cue without delay. The first boat which he sent to the Arno capsized, but no lives were lost. Other boats were then sent out. They could approach only within 50 yards of the Arno, but the Normannia sailors rescued the people on board the sinking ship with llfe-buoy line, all of the latter jumping into the sea. The en- tire list of 20 men and women and baby were rescued. The baby was dropped overheard in canvas bag,and was haul cd In this way to the ooat. The rescue occupied eight hours, the last boat-load being brought in after dark. There was great difficulty in saving one of the wom- en. 4 sailor bravely jumped overheard
