life. for huge breaker lifted tho buoy on
high, then sucked it back with power
that dragged the poor lad from his hold.
When the buoy reached shore, its single
occupant told the life savers what had hap
pcncd, and Keeper Smith, with two surf
mon. at once plunged into the breakers.
one of them caught tho drowning lad, but
tho hold was so loose, on account of his
frozen mittons, that the surglng breakers
tore it loose, and the unfortunate was car
ricd beyond reach. Al hands who rushed
into the surf narrowly escaped being swal
lowed up in tho undcrtow. They continued
their work under greater trials after that,
for their clothes were again drenchcd, and

their fellows, concern themselves moro over
one that is lost than for 80 brought safely

Tho final trip of that gallant rescue
which came almost at the Gle of the aw-
full winters night, was near being fatal
also. The heroic mate whose presence of
mind had been remarkable throughout,
was the last to leave the wreck. The mon
on shore hauled away rapidly, for the buoy
still travelled all the way under water
Somehow the whip limo forlod and tho
buoy camo TO ~ dead stop. Keeper Smith
quickly seized an aX and cut the lee part
of tho line, which luckily released the
buoy. The mato was hanging to it by ono
foot and narrowly missed the fate of the
lost cabin boy When the buoy stopped
far out in the surf, he supposed that the
gearing had become fouled beyond remedy,
and TO save himself from smothering had
climbed outside the buoy, intent upon tax
ing chances in the surf Fortunately the
men on shore hauled away in time to catch
his foot in tho ropes, and he was held fast
until drawn ashore. He was then uncon-
scious. Out Of the > Castaways saved
that night ten reached tho shore in a
drowning condition and had to be resusci-
tated by tn, + preserverS. But for good
care, in experienced hands they would still
have persisted after all the sacrifices of the
noble surfmcn in their behalf. The wealth
or continued so cold for three days that
they could not be transported inland until

HAD TO DODGE RAILROAD TRAINS.


Like ShyloclI of old, the Left Handed

pound Of flesh, according to the tale told
by Chris Schmidt, the deaf muto pcdcs-

to Houston, Tex, between April | and
Dec. 81. lie was TO walk on tho railroad
tracks the entire distance.
1t was also stipulated that Schmidt
should have no protection against trains
and was not even allowed dog but after
having had to jump from two railroad
trcstlcs he fixed up an apparatus with u
looking glass SO as to warn him against
coming trains. A newspaper correspond
ent described the apparatus, and it came
to the eyes Of the members of the Left
Handed Fishing club. They at once wrote
Schmidt that he had broken his contract

and would therefore not be entitled to any
part of the $1,000. This made Schmidt
very angry, end he gave up the contest at
Ashland, Or.
Schmidt is 80 years old and was born in
Houston, where he is engaged in business.
He was educated at Austin. In order II
have accomplished the trip in the stipulated
time Schmidt would have had to walk %
miles day.
Schmidt says thnt he made 30 miles .

enjoyed the trip. He used watch to pro-
tcct him against trains during the first
part OF the journey, but the Left Handed

use of watch, and he aGtrrward judged
