Caps. Isaiah n Grant. keeper Of thc
United States lighthouse department
storehonse on Central Wharf, recalls
IN interesting ancciote that Is pariicu-
Iarly appropriate at this time, and goes
TO show the stuff OF which the Ameri-
ean navy Is composed. Captain Grant
IS brother OF William G. Grant, the
keeper Of the Hight on Matlnicus Rock,
and Of the later tells this story:
1t was back In 1854, and Commodore
Dewey was then executive officer on
board the United States vessel Color
ado. William Grant was seaman on
the same ship, and Is naturally well
posted as to our gallant commodore's
fighting qualities. The Colorado was
steaIning into Hampton Roads, Va,
I towing large boatload Of sailors, re-
lates the Portland tAfel Express.
II was n windy day and the waves
were running high. In some manner
the boat eapsised, and In a moment ev-
cry one was struggling In the water.
All biyt one, however. succeeded in get
ting on its bottom. One sailor who
could not swim sank to the bottom. A
boat was ut once lowered from the Col
orado, William Grant being one Of the
men assigned to It
The men rowed with a Will. and soon
reached the overturned boat and the
sailors ciInging to Its bottom. They
had 50 much Roadway that the boat
shot over the place where the unfortu-
nate went down. Mr. Grant was in the
bow keeping sharp lookout for him
when he came to the surface. As the
boat moved along he looked down into
the water, which was clear, and plainly
saw the man near the surface. Like
flash, he scrambled to the stern Of the
boat, and. without hcsitating a second.
dived over the coxswain's head for the
drowning man. He calculated Just
right, and In moment had him by the
collar and succeeded in bringing him
to the surface. Both men were taken
into the boat and after hard work the
half-drowned sailor was revived. He
owed his life to Mr.. Grants bravery
and prompt action.
The next day Dewey. rs executive Of
iicer, called Mr.. Grant up on to the
quarterback, and before every one
thanked him cordially for his bravery
In rescuIng the sailor.
A few years ago when Dewey, then
commodore. visited the Maine coast
and called upon Mr.. Grant at Matini-
Gus. the incident was recalled, and a
long talk was enjoyed by the men.
Commodore Dewey recalled the matter
Instantly and again complimented Mr..
Grant.
