The Life Saving Service.

Eoston Advertiser
One result Of the northwest hur-
.ricane, which swept over Massachu-.
.setts Bay while the vessels in Boston
sharbor were preparing for the cele-
sbration Of the launching of the old
'ffsgiigate Constitutions, was that three
masted schooner bound for New York
from ST. John. N B was dismasted
apd was blown into the breakers off
sNanset Lights apparently the yes
sell was attempting TO get by Pollock
Rip without striking the shoals !; but
the loss of the foremast when the
schooner was just off the Nauses
Lights practically insured the des-
truction of the schooner
Within a short time after the ves-
sci had been sighted by the observer
az Highland Light the life saving
crew at the Nauset station were
wstehing the vessel, hoping that she
might still weather the storm. but
prepared for action in case of an
emergency. As soon as the schooner
bad struck upon the shoals it be-
came apparent that she would last but
short time inso dangerous a place
Within fifteen minutes after the ves-
sci had struck, life line had been
sent over the wreck. Even when
that had bees done, the work of res
cue was not easy The mainmast
and the mizzenmast were not sand
ing when the vesse. was sighted on
the cape, and only the etump Of the
foremass remained.
Nevertheless all of the crew of the
ill-fated schooner were saved within
less than an hour, and so close was
the work and so small was the margin
of time, that only few minutes after
the last man had been brought ashore
the hull Of the schooner went to
pieces, and her cargo was washed up
on shore by the breskers 1t is
practically certain that but for the
work of the life saving crew, every
man on board would have been
drowned, as no man could live in
such surf as that off Nsueet Lights
on Thursday
This incident is merely one o
similar incidents which are happen.
ing all the time The wrecks of ves.
sells near the life saving stations O
the United States average nearly two
a day and the average number O
persons involved in such wrecks is
more than 10 day. In view of the
fact that great portion of the
Atlantic coast is extremely danger.
GUS in times of storm and wreck it is
remarkable as showing the wonderful
efficiency of the life.saving service
that out of more than 400 people
wac were shipwrecked during the
past year only ffty-three were lost,
or little more than per cent. The
record is one of which the Iifesaging
service and Americans generally may
be extremely prond.
