Their fiat bottomed craft was tossed

spectators watched it with bated breath.
Several times they thought the small

The captain of the Russie, standing on
the bridge, shouted; I'VE have not lost
heart and have confidence in you, but
be quick Pm
A moment later, amid great excite
ment among the spectators ashore the
line was seen to part. The fisherman
made another effort and again got the
line on board the stranded vessel. They
then returned to the beach, where hum
dreds of willing hands pulled their boat
high and dry. while a thrilling scene OF
enthusiasm ensued. Thessfishermen were.
carried in the arms of the people out of
reach of the waves.
Later, the line again parted, causing
much anxiety as the sea was becoming
rougher Then the same fishermen made
another attempt to reach the Russie. On
the first attempt they were capsized into
the surf and the men thrown back on
the strand. They made fresh effort,
with a few newcomers aiding and the
same boats crew again succeeded in get
ting a line on board the Russie. This
time its security was enhanced by the
line being attached to several RATS be-
tween the wreck and the shore.

twenty-five cents, holding as he supposed
the bill in his hand. when the Raleigh

land, and the Raleigh darkey by Mr..
