Of Cape Cod, where the Peaked Hill bar
life saving station stands. Heaped UP
around this station are giant hum
mocks of sand. which on windy nights
is blown against the faces of the pa
trolmen like cutting steel. So sharp is
the impact of this sand that it will

can Withstand the hardships of coast
patrol at stations such as this. where
the bitter cold and the sleety sand and
the blackness of the night conspire to
defeat and battle the night watch. Yet
there is never so wild q night but that

chain of patrolmen from Florida to
Maine remains Unbrolzen.
One of the hardest fights that has
fallen TO the lot of the Peaked Hill bar
crew was when the schooner ElWood
Burton went ashore there few years
ago and was broken up by the pound
ing seas within an hour.
The patrolman of the middle watch
discovered the wreck and hurried to
his station after burning his signal
light But when the crew arrived op-
posite the wreck it was useless to ern-
ploy the breeches buoy, as nothing
could be living on the decks. Great
piles of laths from her cargo already
were heaped up on the beach. Led by
the keeper, the brave surfmen fought
their way through the wreckage into
the breakers. A line was put around
the leaders waist and secured to the
man next behind and so on until a hu-
man chain was formed While fighting
through the breakers they heard a hu-
man cry. Three men were clinging to

sharp watch for vessels in distress to
listen for the boom of distress guns
fired from such craft and to notify the
anxious crews by the burning of signal

Immediately upon discovering a yes

crew of one of the Cape Cod stations
was drowned because of the ignorance
of the men they sought to rescue. An
Italian bark was blown over one bar
in a storm and stranded on another.
The keeper Of the station at once went
to the rescue with all his crew. They
shot a line over the wrecked vessel and
made various signals, but the Italians
did not seem to know the meaning OF
the signals nor why the line had been
fired. Realizing this, the keeper or

hands went in the boat, which reached
the wreck and was getting ready to
