But the fire had not eaten its way to the magazine when the last of the bodies was piled into the launch and the two brave officers and the old watchman followed and put out through the ice toward Fort Hamilton. Before they reached that destination they saw Lafayette Island blown up by the ex- plosion of the magazine.
 The brave conduct of the two off, cers never became known. Nor was their bravery rewarded in great meas ure by the result of their work of res cue. Only one of the men they dragged from the flames on Lafayette Island survived.

before offering his gift at the altar; but many men find it difficult and some even impossible to carry out this clear injunction of the Master
 Evidently John D. Rockefeller was one of those who found the task of re- conciliation a hard one. For years he and his brother, Frank Rockefeller, did not speak, and an enmity, deep and bitter, was entertained by the lat ter against the oil king Frank claims that John D. wronged him and he had registered VOW not to speak to him until that wrong was rectified. Just what the specific injury was Is not publicly known, but it kept the brothers apart until recently, when Frank and John D. met, buried the kiss. Just as it is not known what Franks specific grievance was, so 1t is not known what were the terms of reconciliation. But they must have been satisfactory to Frank; and now John D.'s Sunday school in Cleveland may expect to hear discourse in due time upon the beauty of brotherly love-.
 Frank Rockefeller is little known to the public, and is of such paltry concern to the biographer that his name is not even mentioned in Who's Who. He was at one time interested in ore mines in the Lake Superior re- zion and was associated with James Corrigan, a former business ally of John D. Rockefeller. But in the panic of 1893 Frank and Corrigan went un- der, and the power that submerged them was exerted by John D. Pos sibly, that may have been the griev- ance of which Frank complained. Any how, the grievance is now removed, and the brothers are as happy as school boys. This ought to be a good time to strike John D. for a loan.
