UNCLE SAM AS
A LIFE SAVER.
Something About His Brave Sons Who Dare and Dc
Deeds That Would Make Soldiers Famous.

One of Uncle Sans occupations that
has given him a great reputation
throughout the world is his work as a
life saver. Some of his very bravest
sons are in his employ to do nothing
else except to watch the sea, and go
out to save sailors and travellers if
their ship is wrecked anywhere within
reach
Every hour of their lives these men
are like soldiers in war time-always
ready to go to death in the attempt to
rescue others. Their enemy is an enemy
far more cruel and far more terrible
than ever a human foe. When the
great storms beat upon the sea and
the great surf mounts and comes
roaring toward the beach, when the
gale blows so cold that every drop of
spray freezes as it falls when the
often can hardly make his way against
them-then is the time that the life
savers of Uncle Sam look for the rock
ct shining against the black sky, or
the faint boom of a far-off gun. to
tell them of a ship that needs their
help.
There are no bands of music to give
them inspiration. No shining banners
fly for them. In the night and the
gloom, with not an eye to see, with no
fierce enthusiasm of battle to force
them on led on by no hope of reward.
they go out. knowing that they may
never return, knowing that manv
crews of life-savers like them have
gone the same way to die.
Some day some one will write his
tory for Uncle Sam. and in it the glo-
rious story of their deeds will lead all
the stories of war by sea and land:
That story will tell the world how
simple devotion to duty has made he
roes who were as truly great as ever
the men who charged on stricken
fields.
For the life saver there is not even
the reward of large pay. They get $65
a month, and that only during the
months when they are, actually en-
ployed. Uncle Sans laws forbid their
receiving any rewards.
Uncle Sam has 1876 life-saving sta
lions on the Atlantic and Gulf of Mex
leo coasts, 16 on the Pacific coast and
IS on the Great Lakes, and in every
one of them there are heroes-such he
roes, for instance, as w. w. Griesser,
the keeper of the Buffalo Life Saving
Station, who got gold medal from
Uncle Sam for this deed.
In the end of November, in 1900, a
terrible gale swept over the Great
Lakes Off the Buffalo station it blew
at the rate of eighty miles an hour,
faster than the fastest express train,

night. Again, there was no direct con-
nection between the hound and the
mans death. We never saw the hound.
We heard it; but we could not prove
that it was running upon this mans
trail. There is a complete absence OF
motive.sf No, my dear fellow; we must
reconcile ourselves to the fact that we
have no case at present, and that II
is worth our while to run any risk
in order to establish one
And how do you propose to do so?
Il have great hopes of what Mrs.
Laura Lyons may do for US when the
position of affairs is made clear to
her. And have my own plan as well,
Sufficient for tomorrow is the evil
thereof; but 1 hope before the day is
past TO have the upper hand at last"
1 could draw nothing further from
him, and he walked, lost in thought,
as far as the Baskerville gates.
Are you coming up?"
YES; l see no reason for further
concealment. But one last word, Wat
son. Say nothing of the hound to Sir
Henry. Let him think that Selden' s
death was as Stapleton would have US
believe. He will have better nerve
for the ordeal which he win have to
undergo tomorrow, when he is en-
gagged. if 1 remember your report

Then you must excuse yourself and
he must go alone. That will be easily

piling up before it waves that rolled
on each other and smashed whatever
they struck.
A surfman watching from the tower
of the station suddenly saw two craft
with men on them break from their
mderings and drift swiftly toward the
surf, tossing and wallowing in the
white seas and rolling as if every mo-
ment would be their last. The life
savers did not hesitate. They launch
ed their boat straight into the tossing
sea. But two great combers broke over
her and before she could shake herself
clear third wave caught the bow,
tossed it high into the air and threw
the boat end over end. The crew had
a hard swim of it and reached the
land, more than quarter of mile
down the beach. They had scarcely
crawled out of the water when they
ashore from one of the distressed craft
and who had reached some slippery
SpileS nearly a third of a mile father
away. With the water dripping from
them, the life-savers ran to locomo-
tive that was passing and sped down
the Shore till. they saw theeman, hold
ing for life. to the slippery spiles 500
feet from shore. The seas were break

Griesser seized long line and start
ed for the surf. The crowd on the
shore cried out to him to come back.
Experienced lakemen shouted that he
would surely be killed. But he never
turned Behind him, brave as he was
himself, ran surfman named Green
land. To the remonstrances from the
spectators, the two heroes replied,

Griesser tied one end of the line
around his arm and fought his way
into the lake, with Greenland sticking
to him like bulldog. A great wave
rose far out at sea, lowered nightly
and fell upon them both, throwing
them back to the beach as If they were
little bits of wood. AS soon as they
had their breath again, they rushed
back into the sea. And another heavy
sea broke over them. 1t whirled poor
Greenland around like a top, threw
him bodily against a spite and then
rolled him over and over till he was
swept so near the beach that Willing
hands could seize and bring him
ashore.
Griesser had withstood the huge
wave successfully. For fifteen minutes
he waded and swan. sometimes being
dragged under, again being thrown
back, until he reached a Spite 200 feet
away, where he held on a few mo-
ments to rest.
That was the only rest that he was
to get during his fight, which lasted

being in that war of waters. some
times the bobbing head would disan-
pear, and there would be proap
among the watchers. But every tir,a
it was followed by a cheer, for every
time the brave head and the strone
shoulders would reappear. And ever1
time they were battling to get to the
helpless man who was looking ~
death. Waves tore along with thar a.
mile wind behind them, and threw
Griesser back. But as. soon as he ross
to the surface the watchers saw him
turn again toward the object of his
efforts. Often he would dive far under
a coming breaker and swim under wa
ter to escape being thrown back again.
At last he was near enough to throw
his line to the man. He instructed the
sailor to make it fast around his waist
and then to drop into the water But
the poor fellow had so little strength
left that he could only whip the Inc
around his wrist. and before he could
let go the spiles the waves had caught
the blight of the line and foued It
among the timbers. At the same time
breaker threw the life saver nearly
hundred feet away.
Inc people On SuOEH SET up loud
cry of pity, for in that moment they
were sure that both men must surrey
perish.
The imperiled sailor was begging pit

could hold on only a few moments

purpose as ever. Griesser dived into
the breakers and CROPPED for the tan

that threatened each. moment to grind
and crush him against the spiles. he
worked for fifteen minutes disentang-
ling the line. Then, when all was clear,
he shouted to the man to let go, The
sailor obeyed, and the life-savers on
shore hauled in the other end of the
lire and brought him safely in-uncon-
scious, but unframed.

You may be sure that there was a

You may be sure that the folk who
saw that wonderful rescue that day

So incredible were his exertions that
