warm and sustain them and give them
much, needed courage and fortitude. it is
not 10 be wondered at that some of them
gave way to despair while waiting
through the long. sleepless hours for the
remnant of their once proud ship to
distangle and send them TO their death
in the icy waters OF the lake.

While they waited thus in momentary
expectation of the end. the tempest ragged

and the binding snow driving before il
settled upon the wreck like a shroud.
As IL these insignia of death coming
down from the skies were incomplete.
the sea also contributed to the mourn
full decoration, the crests OF the tumul-
tuous waves being caught up by the freez-
ing blasts and sent in clouds OF quickly
congealing spray over parts OF the vessel.
So the day came and passed. and an
other day, still a third. At dawn of the
fourth day the storm moderated slightly
and the weather cleared a little.
The imprisoned company had caught
no glimpse of a ship since steamer
had passed them by in the early hours
OF their misfortune. apparently leaving
them to their fate. They had now ceased

Recovered shelter they beheld, in the
early morning light OF the 18th,
grotesque, ghostly shape top a wave,
poise on its crest for a moment then
sink out of sight as the wave slipped
from under it and went racing on. When
the object again came into view 1t was
nearer and the mystery was explained.

the warming blood leap In their chilled
veins.

From his position in the forward house

from his task of watching the, compass

the night as a wave. bigger than usual,

Call for Aid Promptly Answered by Crews from Two Sta
tons, Who Brayed Fierce Storm to Reach
Helpless Vessels Company.

When the Iife-sayers came within cali
ing distance of the wreck some one on
beard shouted to them to stand by until
her crew could chop their way out
through the ice that barred every OPEN
ing to their shelter. While the ships
crew were engaged at this task the
boatmen from Eagle Harbor arrived.
Owing to the position In which the
wreck lay she offered very little lee for
boat to approach her from any quar-
ter But worse still, the water around
her was studded with rocks.

Describing the manner in which the
rescCe was performed. and the condition
Of the rescued persons, Keeper MeCor-
mick says:
Part of the steamers crew were taken
on board by means of a rope ladder.
Others leaped from ner deck. Ten men
were loaded into our boat without serious
accident, and fourteen persons, including
the two women, were taken into the boat
from Eagle Harbor. All hands were car
ried to shelter under Keweenaw Point
and placed on the tug. where they were
warmed and fed. They had had little
food for ninety hours. On the trip our
lifeboat covered $50 miles. She was under
her own power all the time and worked
fine"
Another member of the party Of res
cuers, Surfman A F. Glaza. of the Eagle
Harbor crew, gives the following account
Of the plight OF the waldo's crew, and Of
some of the incidents associated with
their rescue:
We got as near TO the wreck as we
could: and every time our boat rose onl
a swell one of the folks jumped and We
caught him.
The shipwrecked people had no stores
except two cans of tomatoes. They I'M
provised a stove out of a bathtub, ana a
stovepipe out OF tin pans. This was all
that kept them from freezing. They were
nearly frozen as it was. as they had Loot
all their heavy clothing when the after
house went by the board.
Some had towels wrapped around their
heads. and some were wearing socks for
mittens. The majority had neither. We
put our mackinaws and caps on them
until we could get them to the tug. The
women cried for joy when We wrapped
them in warm blankets: and when We put
them on the tug they offered up a PRAYER
of thanksgiving and asked the blessing
of heaven upon our captain and his
crew."

CARRY MAIL TO sTEFANssON.
Four Men ''MushinE' 400 Miles
Through Arctic.

Edmonton. Alberta, Dec. 1S.-Four trust
ed employees of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany, accompanied by two dog teams
each carrying 800 pounds OF mail and
provisions are on the way to Fort Nc
Pherson, 200 miles north OF here, on
what is conceded to be the longest over
land mail "trip in the world They are
scheduled to reach the fringe of the arctic
circle on February IS, the journey taking
about sixty days.
The trip from Edmonton TO Athabasca,
100 miles, was made by train the first day.
after which the party started on the lone
ly trail, which follows the windings of the
Athabasca, Slave. and Mackenzie rivers.
The ''mushers" are experienced river and
woods men. who have passed years In the
north country.
Included in the mail is a small packet
for Stefansson, the arctic explorer. to be
delivered at Herschell Island. the most
northerly mail point in Canada.

Did YOU ever visit one of Uncle Sans
life-saying stations? If you have, and II
your visit was made during the outing
season you may have seen a group Of
athletic, bronze-faced men sitting about
their quarters in tilted chairs engrossed
in newspaper or magazine, or swapping
yarns through a haze OF tobacco smoke.
What an idle. lazy existence! Perhaps
as you sat with them awhile and re-
Ceived courteous replies to questions they
had answered hundreds of times before,
YOU envied them their lot. Possibly you
even found yourself wondering whether
or not you would make an acceptable
candidate for a job ION the force" in
the filling of which you would have moth
ing to do but draw your SIS and rations
n month and ride the waves in nom
sinkable 40-horsepower motor boat
This roseate view of the life of these
guardians of our shores is the one en-
tertained by the vast majority OF those
whose vacation takes them into the
neighborhood of n life-saving station. 1t
is a one-sided view-the sunny side-of
q life that has its full share of hard
ship and danger. When the darker side
is in evidence the one-time summer visi-
tor is in all likelihood warming his feet
on a steam radiator in city fat
If you would know what these men of
the coast actually do 10 earn their mu-
