HEROES OF THE SEA.
The story of Two Lonely Graves ON
nm Alaskan Hillside,


in a lonely, almost forgotten graveyard
on bleak hillside in faraway Alaska
two modest tombstones mark the last
resting place Of two heroes Of the sea,
the story OF whose noble conduct should
not be allowed 10 die.
Five years ago the British gunboat
Satellite was anchored in Dutch harbor.
-Four of her crew in the diugey went
down the harbor fishing. Suddenly gale
sprung UP. and the lookout on the ship
observed that the boat was in distress.
The whaleboat was called away and
quickly went to the rescue. Lieutenant
West Of the Royal navy commanded the
boat. The gale rapidly increased in vio-
lence, and the dinPey, becoming unman-
ageabie driftcd toward the breakers.
The whaleboat was nearing her, and
the anxious watch on the Satellite were
more than hopeful that all would be res
cued when a heavy rain squall shut out
the view, and no one but God saw the
end Of the seven brave fellows in the
whaleboat.
When the gale abated, a relief party
was sent in search of the survivors. The
dingcy's crew had miraculously reached
shore in safety. The whaleboat and six *
its seven occupants were as completely
wiped cot as il the sea had swallowed
them.
