A THRILLING RESCUE.

The bills which have been prepared TO remedy
ebuses in the handling OF barges provide that the
name OF every man employed on these vessels be
registered. They also require that men in COM
mand of vessels OF three hundred tons and up
ward be licensed, whereas now the masters OF
only those vessels OF seven hundred tons and up
ward must be licensed II is also proposed that
the length of the tow at sea be res trIcted % a
three thousand feet maximum from the bow OF
the tug to the stern of the last boat. while tow
In rivers and harbors be held down TO one thou
sand feet
Some of the recent experiences Of barge crews
which have been wrecked along the Atlantic Coast
furnish stories that for romantic interest and
thrilling acts OF rescue almost rival anything
written by ". Clark Russell or any OF the
other masters of sea literature. For instance.
there was the rescue last January by the Italian
steamship San Giovanni of i've sailors from the
barge Matanzas. The story of Captain Morse OF
the NataEzGs was told when the crew arrived in
New York on the san Giovanni

Morse, and the tug captain saw that he could
