This stern and roctbound coast is the
most treacherous and perilous on the en-
tire Atlantic to those who go down in
ships The long stretches OF sand and
shoal, OF rock and sunken reef. are cruel
and relentless to- those who cruise this
way. The entire coast from Cape Ann
south Is strewn with wrecks bleaching in
the sunshine and rotting In the rain. 1t
is a sort Of cemetery for ships, and here
and there lies a skeleton OF some vessel
which has first been splintered and twist
ed and wrenched by the waves. and then
half buried in the sand. The natives can
tell stirring stories Of the storms that
have attacked this coast, and the wrecks
that have been driven ashore
The most destructive gales occurred in
1S49 and 1898. October Z, 1S49, an inmi-
grant vessel from Ireland went on the
rocks and the bodies Of her passengers
that were washed ashore are buried in
In 1898 the steamer Portland met her
doom of Scituate. between the Third
and Fourth cliffs, as they are called. The
same storm drove ashore the pilot boat
Columbia and carried her up the bank
too far to get her back into the water,
and the hull was converted into dwell
ing. The gale not only Uttered the beach
with wreckage for twenty miles. but
caused an inundation which changed the
topography OF the coast 1t swept over
farms and fields and washed them away
it cut a channel nearly 200 feet wide
and sixteen feet deep across the base Of a
peninsula, making an island of 1t, and
added considerably to the area Of sew
eral farms by piling, up long reaches OF
sand. Some years before the government
had built breakwater. as solid as break
waters can be. but the sea tore 1t down

OF the cut stone landward. and dropped
them into q meadow half a mile back of

Miles Out From Shore.

To warn seamen away from these dan
gers, the government has built light
house on Minots Lodge, several miles out
from the shore. 1t Is one Of the most
remarkable pieces OF engineering and
masonry construction in all the world. 1t
stands upon a reef which projects only
three and a half feet above the water at
low tide. and is seven feet under water
at high tide. At the lowest tide ever
known but thirty square feet Of rock
were exposed, and before the lighthouse
was built no landing could be made un-
less the sea was perfectly calm.
The first light was established in 1847.
and was destroyed by a storm in 1851.
The first structure was a framework of
iron sixty feet high, which was fastened
to the solid rock by drilling holes five
feet deep. and setting nine piles of
wrought iron. Whatever may have caus-
ed its overthrow is still mystery. but
fastenings. as the piles were broken and
twisted off. leaving stems four or six
feet long in their original places.
Monday night, April II, 1851, the
wind. which had been easterly for several
days, gradually increased until Tuesday,
the 10th, it became severe gale from
the northeast, and continued to blow
with the utmost violence through Tues
day night, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, but the height Of the storm was
hurricane. The light on the Minot ledge
was last seen from Cohasset Wednesday
night at 10 o'clock. At 1 O'Clock Thurs
day morning, the 18th, the lighthouse
bell was heard on shore, one and one
half miles distant This being the turn
Of the tide, the sea was at its worst, and
it is generally believed that the light
house was then destroyed At daybreak
it was not visible from shore. portion
of the wreck was found 100 feet from the
site.

July Of the Same year she was pre-
eented q boat by the citizens OF Newport,
with impressive ceremonies. In which the
whole city took part
contribution Of $21s from the oficers and
soldiers Of Fort Adams In recognition of
her efforts in saving their comrades.
March IA. 1881, she received q silver
medal from the Humane Society OF Massa-
chusetts for her many heroic and sue
cessful efforts In saving lives
Mrs. Wilson has frequently been spok-
en- OF throughout the country as the
Grace Darling Of America. What she has
done, however. has required. l think, far
greater personal courage and skill than
that shown by Miss Darling. The latter
assisted her father in the rescue of nine
persons who were left on a wreck on the
subsistence Of a gale on the coast of
1888. What she did was certainly a fine
exhibition of heroism, but Mrs. Wilson
has at six separate times rescued persons
in peril. and in all but two OF these cases
has been wholly unassisted-"
Grace Darling's Career.
Grace Horseley Darling w~s born in
1916 and died IN 1912. She was the
daughter Of William Darling, keeper Of
Longstone lighthouse. on Farne Island,
on the British coast Of the North sea.
6eptemD0f u 1000 Wheu snc WdS t"oA-
ty-three years old. the bark Forfarshire,
bound from Hull to Dundee. struck a
reef near the lighthouse In fog. There
were sixty-three souls on board, of whom
forty-three were lost Darling and his
daughter manned the lighthouse boat and
after an extraordinary exhibition of dar-
ting. skMl and endurance, rescued four
men and a woman and brought them to
the lighthouse. They went back and res
cued four more, the only remaining sur
vfvorg.
This achievement made William Darling
and his daughter famous. The Royal
Humane Society voted them gold med
ais, the government gave Lnem pensions
and a fund of $25.O 600 was raised by
public subscription for their benefit. Mis-
Darling dsed four years later from tuber-
culosis. She wrote her memoirs, whicii
had a large circulation, although her life
was uneventful She was born and
brought UP In that lighthouse and had
very little education.
