stationed in foreign waters, in which he
speaks of being in command Of one of
| the life boats which rescued the crew of
the Florence H., an American munitions
ship which caught fire and broke in two
in French waters April 18th. The Boston

scription of the rescue and states that
lieut. Snow and ten OF her New England
men had been recommended for honors
and praised for bravery by Rear Admiral
Wilson, commander of the Naval Reserve
forces in France. Lieut.. Shows address
is given in the Post as Biddefurd, Maine,

Capt. A. N. Snow of Searsport avenue
and had lived in New York for some time
prior to his departure across the waters.
