JACK SHEETS, HERO.

JAIN SnkEIS, MkkO.
One of my correspondents asks for
the story of Jack Sheets. the wireless
hero.
Here it is:
Jack Sheets Is a sixteen-year-old
high school boy of Philadelphia. Dur.
his spare hours he mastered the mys-
terry Of wireless telegraphy and learn
ed the code.
Last summer he secured a position
during vacation as wireless operator
on the steamer Lexington. an Atlantic
coast vessel.
On the first voyage out the ship ran
into storm of the coast Of South
Carolina. Huge waves swept over the
vessel. The frightened passengers
huddled in the cabin. while the crew
fought to keep the Lexington OF the
much dreaded reefs.
Lying prone on the deck. where no
man could stand. and cool as veter-
an. was young Sheets, flashing bis
distress signal over the waters
Before long, because Of the buffet
ing of the waters, the wireless rigging
was parted from the transmitter, rem
dering the boys instrument useless.
But
In his makeup was hero stun. He
realized that the lives of passengers
and crew were in his small hands. and
| he took desperate chance.
| No sooner was the connection bro
ken than he started to climb into the
| rigging with his instrument. Up there,
| stretched between the masts, was the
| wireless outfit.
The captain. himself dashed to the
wheel. looked to see the boy blown
away in the teeth Of the gale or
| Of the ship.
It was fearsome chance.
| Summoning all his determination
| and every atom Of his strength and
/, agility, young Sheets slowly but sure
| ly made his way. Lashing himself to
the mast, he was able to attach his
instrument to the wires.
| And there he stayed.
Meantime the vessel had drifted on
to the reefs and was pounding out
| its life. And Jack Sheets, the six
teen-year-old-boy, was up there sound
ing out his pleading call for aid.
Finally through the storm came ar
| answering signal. and shortly after
the revenue cutter Yamacrow came Il
the rescue.
1t was situation requiring good
seamanship, but the passengers and
crew were taken or. one at a time
The last one or was the captain. The
next to the last was Jack Sheets.
Yes; heroism is common.
I But, mind you, it never Is common
place.
