INT the storm grew IN fury and she
sprang a leak. All hands were called to
tbs pump, but they were feeble against
tbe roaring waters. Head on, the weak

storm, when crash sounded above the
screaming OF wind and wave, and the
pontIng mariners knew that the sail
had gone. A moment later the ship
sglr,ed IN a tremendous sea and capsIz-
cd This was of Longport. Meanwhile
sbs was sighted from shore, but the
.ast Of rescuing was hopeless. It was
clear that no boat could brave the sea
for more than Il few moments Ihe
Ocean City life saving crew determined
10 try. and Peck's Beach crew turned
In 10 help. The life boat was launched
ana almost Immediately q huge wave
broke over her and flung her angrily
hack upon the sand. Again and again
was the attempt made only to be met
with the same fate. Eventually the fu-
tIllty OF che work was recognized ana
the would-be rescuers We're despalrlhS-
Iy compelled TO abandon IL.
The news OF the wreck had spread
and the beach was thronged with per-
sons helplessly gazing at the tossing
hull. She drifted slowly down the
coast her anchor chains dragging and

When she capsized, a thrill of horror
went over the onlOOkers. A moment Ia

Captain Perry tried to give some no.
ton Of what they felt as they watched
the falling attempts at rescue. Death
loomed before them, but they prayed
that 1t might be baked. Night fell Ike
a pail with the cold benumblug their
very faculties and exhaustion creeping
over them. they clung 20 the spars WITH
the desperate nerve OF life known only
10 those who have faced death. Thus
the awful night passed With welcome
sunlight came a lull In the storm and
they knew their prayer had been heard.
Al the first streak Of light the weary
watchers on shore put out boat, safe

weakened seamen back to land. There
was burst OF joy that IS akin to tears
when the gallant boat crunched against
the sands and the stormbound sailors
were tenderly lifted out, Woman hug
