or. The rescued man stated that he had
had n companion when the slif capsized,
but that he had gone to tho bottom.
The surfboat was headed toward shore
with the rescued man. Meanwhile the
keeper scanned the surface OF the water,
but saw no trace of the first sbiff. Making
land at the nearest beach. which was Sand
island, the life savers found a boat drift
ing in the breakers that answered TO the
description of the one seen by the keeper.
After bailing the surfbcat the party set
out again and pulled desperately to the
windward in the direction of the first
wreck The keeper stood in the bow with
his eyes strained upon the sea. Finally he
detected u small black object rising and
falling on the foam of the breakers, about
500 yards from shore. Drawing nearer,
the object proved to be several cork floats,
part of a wrecked fishing net, and in the
center of the Inter, underneath, the head
of a man. The head ut times totally dis

would be buried under the foam of the
wild surf. Every man of the crew under
stood ut u glance what had happened. The
fisherman had become entangled in a net
by the action of a sudden wind. The boat
had capsized, yet, being free and light,
had been blown away, while the poor fish

shared. All hands on the surfboat clutched
ut the net and hauled large section of It
to the side of the boat. The work of dis
entangling the poor fellow was great. His
limbs were tightly bound as by human
hands, and every button of his coat was
wound about by the small cords of the
net. With feverish haste the life savers
worked, knowing that there was not q mo-
ment to lose. After freeing him the oars
men pulled back 70 shore while the keeper
attempted to restore circulation in the
rescued man. After getting him ashore
moro than two hours were spent by the
port surgeon and his helpers in bringing
the nearly lifeless form into activity.
The whole adventure of those brave vol
unteer life savers lasted about three hours.
Although the imperiled lives were few,
yet the excitement, even when the quest
narrowed down to a single human life.
was intense. The man last rescued had
had a companion, and it was their boat

The Worst That Could Befal1.

The following is n story of an incident
that actually took place ut the marine bar
racks, at the Charlestown navy yard:
a soldier was one morning brought be-
fore the commanding officer, charged with
the offense of telling lie to one of the
other officers After the major had heard
the evidence he said to the culprit, ''Do
you know what will become of you If you
tell lies to your officers?"
The soldier quickly replied, yes, sir;
shall go to hell"
Worse than that. sir. Worse than
that, said the commanding officer. You
will be tried by naval court martial. -

water came In Almost as Iasu as ono man
could bail IL out. But the oarsmen neryed
themselves for a powerful effort and with
q gallant dash put the boat alongside the
vessel. Luck seemed to turn In an instant,
for after taking of the four survivors and
bailing out the surfbOat the brave fellows
made quick dash for land and beached the
boat without a mishap. Six lives saved by
their prOmptness was the record of a day 5
work ushered in by accidents and marked
throughout by stubborn recklessness on
the part OF the master of the imperiled
sailors.
y more marvellous rescue stiIl, but not
more gallant, occurred at the mouth Of the
Columbia river, Washington, one day in
May 1854 About ( O'Clock in the after
noon that day the keeper OF the cape sta
ton stood on 4 high point near the cape
lighthouse, maintaining a watch, for the
wind was blowing strong sea over the
bar into the mouth Of the river, where the
fishermen in skiffs were busy casting their
nets. Suddenly he saw a skiff containing
two men capsize in the wild outer breakers
at least two miles from the lighthouse.
Springing down the hill, he picked up half
a dozen volunteers, hurried them 10 the
station, where they were equipped with
life preservers, and in few minutes the
surfboat was speeding over the treacherous
waters now calm as an inland lake and
in another moment broken by ridges and
hollows as rough as the stormy sea. When
the strong river current and the inrushing
tide met, the cOmmotion was like that of
a tidal wave over a high sandy bar. Yet
the rowers made the two miles in 80 min
utes and found man in the water lashed
to an upturned fishing skif. He was cut
loose and hauled into the surfboat, and
then the keeper discovered that the skifT
was not the one sighted from the light
house hill. He had used glass when on
the oUtlOOiz and had distinguished her col

the life savers found themselves with two
unsOund boats and useless beach appa-
ratus to face wreck now threatening &c
collapse ut any moment. During the night
the captain : messenger had arrived on the
beach with the answer that no tug would
venture out into the lake in that storm.
At daylight the schooner was seen In the
trough of the sea pitching heavily and in
danger of going completely over. To the
surprise of the keeper of the life crew he
saw the schoOner's yawl being lowered in
spite of all warming. With the canvas COW
CT of his beach wagon he made sign of
large letters, d" Boat coming, " and stretched
it between two trees in sight of the wreck.
1t was too late however; the yawl had

yawl, but the strong undcrtow cast them
back every time they drifted near shore
