When it was about concluded by the
crew that she could not right herself
and there was no help save in cutting

the heavy keel was able to assert itself.

OF its Yictims-the vast indif-
ferent sweep OF The waters. the
horror OF those who go down
to the sea in ships. If Il were
not for the storms and sleets and fogs.
If the endless depths of the waters did
not contain mysteries too strange for
human comprehension. If the night and
the winds did not seem to conspire 70
undo and destroy the staunchest Of
mans inventions. the awfulness of It
would cease, there would be no details
OF a Winters dangers. The interest
that attaches to every venture on the
wintry waters would not be.
The waters Of New York Har0or
abound with these wintry terrors. On
its lower reaches, thirty to forty miles
from Manhattan, the majesty and power
Of the sea rise 70 their fun height
Here, for all that the beacons of dis
tant lightships may send their ray
streamers out over the waters at sight
like stars, and the sight of incoming
and outgoing steamships IS present in
fair weather TO tighten the hearts Of the
sea people. the element Of danger is
amazing. Boats have gone down here
that have weathered the wide stretches
Of ocean in safety.
The rocks and shoals have broken the
ribs Of many a stanch ship that proud
ly swept the main in peace. It's fogs
and treacherous currents have held
many an ocean greyhound captive. its

Treachery Of the Sea.
The treachery OF the harbor Is the
fear Of its pilots. The awe of the men
who go down into the lower bay 20 es-
cort the great GoIiaths OF the sea %
their docks is a thing OF never ending
force.
The vast tranic that passes in ana out
from the Narrows 20 the Hook In com
parative safety. year after year, Is the
reason Of constant heroism-dsily hand
to-hand conflict with the worst OF which
the waters are capable. It's the old
battle of man with the Clements
puny weaklinE against a raging sea
all the power Of the Atlantic matched
against a few small craft which put
forth day after day and week after
week in order that tire sea may yield
them a living.
The past Winter has been exceedingly
difficult for those VINO have piled their
vocation as pilots IN this ha-bor. The
storms that have ragged upon the ocean
proper have thrashed the tail Of their
fury here. Boats have gone down, craft
Of various sizes have been driven ashore,
the whole outer harbor dashed with
succession Of storms and seas that have
mocked the memory Of the Oldest mari
ner TO parallel
Tt has been bitter Wlnter-a Winter
N which the succession Of storms ana
cold waves has sent the vessels fee laden
to their docks. Sailors have been frozen
at the mast. the lone IoOkotits stationed
at the prows cut 70 their very hearts
core by the icy wsnds. All the sailors
who have ventured 20 earn a livelihood
by shipping with any OF the VARIOUS
craft have recorded that they have
