During this period the crew Of the
Humboldt Bay Life Saving station had
been straining every nerve TO reach the
ship and take Off the people on board,
Surfmen who were in the watch tower
when the steamer attempted the bar,
and saw the seas strike and overwhelm
her ran down the stairs as fast as they
could go and CHARMED the crew. The
surfman In charge Of the station or
dered all hands to man the lfeboat, and
within two minutes she was ON her way
10 the bar, propelled with all the energy
and strength OF willing men bent on
saving human life. They made almost
marvellous speed, and were soon at the
entrance OF the bay, but when they at
tempted to pull around the end Of the
south jetty to the place where the
steamer had by that time drifted, they
met a strong flood tide and such an ugly
sea as to make further progress at once
extremely problematical. Again and
again they would drive the boat almost
to the turn, when a tremendous breaker
would pick 1t up and throw 1t fifty
yards astern. For a fun half hour they
desperately tugged at the oars, but at
last their strength was Slapped and they
were forced to give up, simply because
human power could endure no longer,
Nothing now remained but to try the
beach apprenticeship life line and gun.
TO get these from the rocks OF tine
ietty to the trestle was an almost SUI
perhuman piece of work In the terrific
storm, But when this at last was ac-
compllshed the crew started TO make
Its way seward. Keeper Hennig and
one man, carrying the heavy whip line,
brought up the rear, while the inde-

and closer and more into danger, he
rescued seven men.
During all these laborous exertions
he incurred much danger from the
likely chance that on each occasion he
and his burden might be caught by the
breakers and swept out to sea. But
now came far greater demands upon
his courage and physical powers, There
stIll remained upon the vessel three
men, so bruised and exhausted that
they were unable to do as the others
had done. But Midget was not dis
mayed. To save these he must 90 right
down into the sea close TO the wreck,
take them off and carry them bodily
10 the beach. Down the steep bank,
into the very Jaws OF death three times
he descended, and each time dragged
away q helpless man and bore him up
out of the angry waters to place Of
safety. Ten lives saved were the price
less trophies Of his valor.
The wreck Of the steamer Weeott. at
the entrance Of Humboldt bay, on the
coast Of California, recalling the tragic
loss Of the Chilkat at almost the same

crew to show It's mettle. IT also de-

steamer. Fastening a he9ying line
about his waist, Reiner plunged into the
awful breakers, and, stunned and
bruised, reached the rock shore, where

when he climbed up a jetty trestle
From there he was able to effect several
rescues by means of a line thrown to
him from the steamer, which, unfortun-
ately. finally parted

OF the wreck, but dismounting and pro-

he soon made out part of vessel,
With the forms Of several persons

yards distant,
Here was a dilemma which called for
the exercise Of sound judgment and
faultless courage. Midget had con-

the life saving crew was to sacrifice
three hours more when every moment
was precious On the other hand, to
undertake TO save the lives OF the
shlpwrecked men without aid was per-
haps to throw away his own life and
leave them utterly helpless until an
other patrol should attempt rescue,
when all might have persisted Short
time was spent in deliberation. He de-
termined to do what he could alone
and without delay,
Selecting the first opportunity when a
receding wave permitted, he ran down
as close TO the wreck as he could and
shouted instructions for the men to
jump overheard, one at a time, as the
surf ran back, and that he would take
care Of them. Then retreating from the
inrushing breakers to the higher part
Of the bank, he watched his chance to
approach the wreck, again calling for
one man to jump. Obeylng his instruc-
tons, a sailor would leap overheard and

judge with an expression at once Of
terror and defiance. She wore a tawdry

looked forward all day In his luxurious

weary head thrown back among the
