The signal box in this room contains

In going back to the station, there was
shown the last OF the safety appliances

Miss Sandford at Helm.

1t Is a quaint little lady who. as secre-
tary, has stood at the helm for the past
thirty-three years. Miss Alice Sanford
is one of those whom one terms an "old
New Yorker"
According to Miss Sanford. this is
how the Blue Anchor Society started:
MY friend, Mrs. Gabriel Kent, Of New
York, was visiting Mrs. Waite-she was
the wife of Chief Justice Waite, you re-
member-in Washington. In 1873. She was
conducted over the new headquarters Of
the Life-saving Service that had been
causing SO much discussion just then. and
she learned that clothes were not q fea-
ure of the relief work.
Up to that time the poor life-savers.
Mrs Kent ascertained. were providing the
destitute out of their own scanty store
of clothes. and the supply could not avoid
being at times embarrassingly and dan
gerously inadequate. 1t did seem to be
Just the work for ladies. SO we set to
work to gather together a little circle
from among our friends in Washington
and New York.
There was myself and Mrs. Kent and
Mrs Waite and Mrs Hayes-Mrs. Ruth
erford B. Hayes-and Mrs. Garfield and
Mrs. Abby Gibbons, the daughter of old
Isaac Hopper. There was Mrs Astor. the
wife Of young John Jacob. and there was
Mrs. William Astor, too.
