under the crashes Of the giant combers
which swept her and threatened to

OF last nights gale, still travelling at

see two forms, evidently men, dashed
TO the masts OF the ship, which were
dipping and STOPPING under every as
sault of the sea-. Below them no hui
man being could be seen.
Life savers could not even launch q
boat In the heavy surf which pounded
down on the beach and the best that
could be done was to shoot a line.
