The poise of his head was confident

ers on the shore as the boat pitched
from wave to wave under, the iron
muscles Of the oarsmen and the skill

jump it seemed it must be swamped or
broken to piece. by the powey of those
walls of water. Sometimes it leaped
from crest to- crest. Sometimes it
seemed to pitch directly down into the
sea, and Winnifred closed her eyes
and shut her hands until the nails
pierced the palms, believing it was
all over. But when she opened them
each time it was to behold the boat,
still battling, leaping and plunging.
Tne old man was on his knees pray

At last the steamer was reached and
those on board were taken into the
boat. The return Journey was a repe-
tition of the outward until half the
distance was accomplished. The
hearts of the watchers beat high with

such a sea-"
The captain gently raised the old
man to lis feet.
''Why, dad, you'd disown me if
didn't do my duty" he said, "ye know
you would. 1t don't run in our blood
It's all right. We are pretty husky

1t was thrilling sight to the watch
hope. Winnifred had never expert
enced such emotions in all her life.
Suddenly great wave arose direct
ly in the path Of the boat, which
dashed into it as into stone wall. In
an instant it capsized, and these with
in were thrown into the roaring sea.
Part of the crew and a few of the
rescued succeeded in grasping the
overturned boat, and one by one
crawled upon it's slippery bottom. The
tall figure of the captain was seen
helping others out of the water. It.
was soon evident that there were
more than could retain a hold in the
pitching refuge. Two or three slipped
off in despair. Then the watchers saw
the captain rise and wave his hand to
the shore and then plunge into the
sea. 1t was after the two lone SUR
vivors were eventually washed ashore
that the watchers learned that Captain
Will said to the others:
"Well, boys, there amt room for

When he leaped into the water
great groan went up from the crowd
