| Richmond, Va, one of the owners of the
schooner John S. Beacham, which was
| rescued by the cutter Gresham, off Cape
| Cod. last week:
Il cannot too highly commend Capt
l.Gresham. He found the schooner that
L am largely interested in, the John s.
| Beacham, lying signals OF distress in a
storm last week off Cape Cod. He inme-
aboard. relieved the crew at the pumps,
| attached q hawser and tcwed the vessel
| into Boston. thus saving the vessel and
/ cargo. Had it not have been for his
assistance the vessel. no doubt, would
/ have gone to the bottom and probably
lost the lives of FIVE men.

one Of the most important on this coast.
