During the winter months Mr.. Mullen
trims and lights his lamps in the middle
of the afternoon and allows them to burn
until he calls the next day.
Yesterday the wind tossed the water
into Jumps and the bay was extremely
rough. To get Mt the lights Mr.. Null
len has to row from East Providence
Naccross to Sassafras Point, distance OF
over mile. From there he had to recross
the water TO Fuller's Rock, which Is To-
Gated a mile or more in southeasterly
direction from Sassafras light. After
getting the last named light in order he
generally rows TO the little landing at
Kettle Point and rides to East Providence
in the cars. The next day he began his
journey at Kettle Point ana finishes at
East Providence.
Yesterday afternoon he began at Kettle
Point and had got both OF lights in order
and was on his way to the shore when a
monster wave struck his little skin ana 1t
was overturned. Mr.. Mullen made a
heroic effort to climb upon the top OF his
frail craft, bui was unable TO do SO, and
when he found that he was fast becoming
exhausted he cried for help. The wind
carried his voice over the water and his
appeals for help were heard by Edward
Grogan, who Is in the employ OF John
Adamson. Mr.. Grogan saw Mr.. Mullen
standing In the water, and, with Henry
Hunt, at once put out II. 20 the heavy sea,
and pulling with might and main against
the wind and tide, succeeded in reaching
Mr.. Mullen before he disappeared.
Mr.. Goognn reached for Mr.. Mullen,
but was unable TO get him into the boat,
on account Of the action OF the waves,
but the two men succeeded la getting a
rope around Mr.. Mullen's body. BY this
means he had a breathing chance and
time to recover q little OF his lost strength.
II was impossible to get the half drown
ed man into the boat. Besides, Mr.. Null
len, who has had great deal OF expert.
ence in these waters, knew that the little
boat OF his rescuers could not live In the
heavy sea with so much weight in It, and
he refused to jeopardize the lives OF his
brave friends and hung on TO tho boat
assisted by the rope around his body,
and by this means he was towed to ket-
tie Point. Young Hunt struggled at the
oars and Mr.. Googan held a firm grasp
on the rope supporting Mullel.
1t was 20 minutes from the time of res
cue to the time Of safe landing, and IL
was 20 minutes OF muscle and courage by
all concerned.
MIR. Mullen's nearly lifeless form was
picked up by the two men, assisted by
Mrs. Adamson, who lives near the point,
and Mrs. Hunt, and taken into the resi-
uence of Mis- Adamson, where he was
far recovered from his exciting adven
ture as TO be'able TO go In Mr.. Adam
sons carriage TO his house In East Provi-
dence. Until Mr. Mullen RECEIVERS, the
light will be cared for by Joseph Smith.

He is o faithful, cautious official,
the hero OF the East Sullivan, Me-,
dog story. Don, the dog postman,
has been taught to carry the mail
daily across the field to the home of
G. E. Simpson, a distance of about
one-fourth of mile, where he makes
known the arrival of the mail by bark
ing at the door, and, although. not q
Government employe, exacts his pay
in the form of something to eat, and
will bark until his demand is granted.
One day last week he carried the mail,
as usual, but on arriving at the house
could not gain admittance, as Mr..
and Mrs. Simpson were away, and, as
it was about noon, he was anxious to
deliver the bundle Of papers to get
his commission. As the only person
about the place was young man haul

would not give up the mail, but with
q crestfallen countenance brought it
