miles off Dam Neck Mills life saving

had held her at their mercy. All the
way up the coast she battled with
them. First almost all Of her deck

sail after another went by the board.
Her steering gear became injured
and she rolled In the trough of the
sea while big waves crashed over her.
The strain was so great that her
sides began to open and water poured
into her hold. When Dam Neck Mills
were sighted the Converse anchored
and sgnalled for help. Norfolk wa,

was not brought up In the regular
way by DR.. Qlllian, his presiding
elder. DR.. Wadbworth asked the bish
