When we hear through newspaper and
other reports about the sweltering heat
in the big cities we cannot help but
feel and say that our lot here is . happy

tween the last day of July and the first
day of August, to inform the people
that the position wa not a sinecure.
They were kept busy too in assisting
vessels that were in trouble, but for
tunately they were comparatively
small affairs compared to what they
are sometimes called upon. The sta
ton was notified by telephone to keep
a look out for a party that was out in a
small boat from a further north station.
Captain Ludlam soon ascertained that
they were in our waters and that some
thing was wrong. This was on Sun
day and a picked crew went out with
him to help. The engine left the boat
helpless, but one of the life savers got
into the boat and soon got the motor
engine in working order. The Guya-
suta went out to help but was not
called upon. 1t was a queer sight to
see the boat that had been in trouble
tow in the life boat under the guidance
of one of the life saving crew.

Mrs. N. r. s. Yewdall at their cot
tage, as were also Miss Sarah Green of
Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, sister of John

living in a fine neighborhood at home
were delighted with the fine view OF
the ocean and surroundings that can
be had from this cottage. This neigh.
borhood, particularly from First to
Sixth n and on or near Surf ave
nue., have such an unobstructed sight
in front of the cottages that not a YES
sci can pass in or out OF past the vast
space in front of them without being
seen, and there are nearly all the time
vessels going out fishing or returning,
parties out pleasure sailing, barges in
tow of tugs going for coal at Port
Richmond wharves in Philadelphia OIL
coming loaded from there. Now and
then a four master with spread sails,
