wave broke over the ship and washed the crew of four overheard.
 1t was stiff work, but somehow we managed to pull three men from the sea before they'd shipped enough wa nowhere to be seen, and after looking around for awhile, we gave him up for lost and headed for the shore.
 s'When we landed Nipsy was run ming up and down the beach where he knew we'd come ashore, barking like all possessed. He jumped all around r-,, yearly knocking me over, and betw ~en jumps he'd run eastward pn the beach, as if he wanted me to go with him.
 Finally said to myself: 'Nipsy's found something, and maybe it's the missing sailor said, just for some thing to say. We'll, anyway, I hu- mored the dog and followed him and he ran about 500 yards down the beach and stood still and parked.
 Pretty soon I came up to him and what do you think saw lying there in the sands? My nephew.
 "Nipsy took me to him just in time and so we saved his life. He was the missing man from the collier and lie had been tossed ashore by the break CTS"
 Carter looked at the clock.
 Almost eight o'clock he said. "Rudd, we'll be on patrol in a few minutes and won't be back before mid- night, so speak up before we go."
 'Yes-yes," John w. Rudd, No. 2, drawlingly responded in Long Island vernacular, and then continued:
 ''I started out for patrol duty on the first night of the 'ss blizzard. It is only matter of SO or 60 yards to the beach from the station house, but the snow was so blinding and the wind so high that it took me Is minutes to reach the beach.

 "Guess how long I'd been covering the mile.' Rudd was fastening his sou'wester under his chin. "Just two hours," he said, as he slung Coston signal over his shoulder and opened the door. "Yes-yes,'' s .la
 James G. Smith, No. 5, to whose lot fell the replenishing of. the wood fire, spoke up as he clattered the stove lid back into placer %s9~s ,as:.
 Don't know why, but Pm reminded of yarn that I heard at Cape Cod station a few years back,
 Seems that an English frigate was wrecked off the beach, where the sta tion is, 200 years ago. One day, four or five years ago, the hull of yes sel. all at once stuck itself above the water in full sight of the station, and musket and pistol butts, like those used before the revolution, and old style woodwork was thrown up on shore.
 It's the hull of the English frigate thrown up out of the quicksands, the life-savers said; and then they sent word to the people in the village.
