successive year will Miss Beatrice Hoyt
carry the highest golf honors which 1t
is possible for woman to attain in

scribable-men jumped overheard in an
agony of despair and the women pas
Bengers huddled together and refused
to leave the deck. The officers remained
on the bridge to the last and many
instances of sacrifice are recorded.

by which their own lives could be
saved.
A lfeboat with a load Of 40 persons
on its way to the shore passed many
who were battling for their lives in the
water whom it was impossible to save.
The villagers, headed by the vicar and
coast guard, stood on the shore and
cheered the boat. When the lfebOat
entered the little cove the fishermen
waded into the sea to help drag the
little boat up on the beach and tenderly
carried the exhausted survivors to
their homes.
