2 Saved by Timely Assistance.

Timely assistance given the four-mast-
ed schooner Edward H. Cole by the little
cutter Acushnet saved the crew from
suffering and the vessel from serious
damage. If not from total loss. When
found on Nantucket sound, near Squash
Meadow shoal. her water tanks were
empty and she was in danger Of going
ashore. The Acushnet first pumped 200
gallons of fresh water into the tanks of
the schooner. and then took her in tow
into deep water. where she could be han
died with safety
In consequence of the ice blockade
about Nantucket Island. the Acushnet
in the past week carried mails. passen-
gers and supplies from Woods Hole and
other points to Nantucket Island, the in
habitants of which are cut off from the
mainland by ice. She will continue to
perform this service until communication
can be established by the commercial
steamers.
Reports received from the cutter Onon-
daga state that she with the cutter Itas-
ca spent several days last week in an
endeavor to float the steamship Sachem,
ashore on the Virginia coast near Hog
Island. Though several efforts have been
made to pull the steamer into deep wa
ter they were unsuccessful and the ves-
sci Is still on the beach. The Onondaga
also went to the aid Of the British steam
ship Riversdale. ashore near Little Island
life-saving station. The crew of this
vessel had been taken off by the life
savers. and the cutter could do nothing
toward floating her. as she is well out
on the beach in shoal water
After picking up the schooner Bessie
Whiting of Perth Amboy, \. j.. in trou-

TABLETS TELL HISTORY
Of THE UNITED STATES
Exhibit at Library Of Congress by
Nestore Leoni, an Ital-
ian Artist.

Visitors to the Congressional Library
are taking an unusual interest in thirteen
illuminated tablets by Nestore Leoni.
showing in intricate detail and wonder
full design nearly every scene and period
and individual connected in any way
with the triumph Of the new world,
from the landing of the crew Of the
Santa Maria, with Columbus and his
comrades, down to so recent q celebrity
as Col. Roosevelt. The Leoni tablets
are unique in that they are the renais-
sance Of the mid-age art of illumination
on parchment, but some think they prob
ably surpass anything ever done by an
artist of the original days Of the art.
Art experts say that the Leoni tablets
are by no means copies of the style
of the middle ages. but are combina-
ton of pure art and the technique OF
artisan hand work. While the old dec
orative school is adhered to. Leon has
founded a modern style which possibly
will be distinctive in the present genera
ton at least.
Lent by George Sproul.
The series Of tablets now on exhibition
by the Library of Congress has been
lent by George Sproul Of New York.
After one has seen these tablets. and
examined them for the better part of an
hour it is almost impossible to write
an adequate description of them in news
paper space. Perhaps the briefest state
ment of their intricacy and value as
art objects would be contained in the
is said to be 100000. The panels, or
tablets, are inexhaustible fields for study.
Scores of miniatures Of men famous In
history, and finely painted and exquisite
~ drawn scenes of the events on which
the nation is founded, make each tablet
a complete decoration in itself. These
individual heads and scenes are upon
a background so delicate as to be mex
pressible, and the whole is enriched with
scroll work in red and gold with myriad
shadings.
Tablets Are Confusing.
At first blush the tablets are confusing,
SO great is the number Of incidents and
decorations. Ten years were given over,
it has been stated, to the painting of the
third panel, which incorporates the sur
render of Lord CORVALLIS to Gen. Wash
ington. the eliminating triumph of the
American war of the revolution. An
other scene is the signing of the Declare
ton of Independence. in which the por-
trait of Thomas Jefferson is a special
feature.
However. Americans criticise the por-
trait of Theodore Roosevelt as being a
caricature.
Nestore Leoni was poor before 1901.
He is an Italian, living for a long time
in Florence and in Rome, and has made
a great study of classic antiques. He
made several illuminated parchments for
the Empress Frederick and the Queen
Mother Margherita of Italy. and later
was commissioned to make the cover to
an album commemorating the arrival Of
the Emperor of Germany in Rome. His
success seems to date from the finishing
of that work.

Many Vessels in Trouble as
Result of the Severe
February Gales.
WINTER CRUISING SEASON
is TO END WITH MARCH
But Uncle Sans Coast Guardians
Will Find Continued Work
in North Atlantic.

From PASSPORT. Me, to Key West
Fla, and out on the Pacific coast, the
vessels of the revenue cutter service
have been kept busy in the past week
rendering assistance to vessels in dis
tresS through stress of weather from
strandinG or from other causes, and
they have done effective service in
rendering prompt aid when aid was
most needed. But one month more re-
mains of the winter cruising season.
and after April 1 the Atlantic ocean is
supposed to leave off its winter roughness
and to assume a more quiet spirit, one
that does not endanger the safety of
vessels, as do the storms of the winter.
But even after the cruising season
is over the cutters. particularly those
on the stations north of the Chesa-
peake, have frequent calls made upon
them to go to the aid of vessels in
trouble. SO that their officers and men
really have no loafing time in any sea-
son of the year.
In the past week the cutters have
been called upon to free vessels caught
in ice, to aid others ashore, to locate
and destroy derelicts or distractions
menacing the safety of vessels. and
even on the inland waters of North
Carolina, a heavy storm caused lum-
her schooner to lose her rudder, and
she had to be towed into port and to
safety by revenue cutter.
