GUARDS
SET new MARK
FOR HEROISM
frx p,spatch a. e. wlrel


ASBURYs PARKK, n. j., Feb. A.
A fresh page was turned today in
the book of valor when four caps
tains and nine coast gQardsmen, se-
lected from the crew of four stations
volunteering as a man, jammed their
small lifeboats into the teeth of q
gale driven blizzard to rescue any
who might be aboard the barge Met
ropolitan No. 81, floundering q mile
off Barnegat station. Through 25-
foot seas lashed by a 50-mile wind
they fought their way for two hours
only to find a new menace> in the
wreckage Of the barge which broke
up as they reached it, One survivor
was rescued from the waves, one
was taken from an improvised raft
and the third from the pilot house
of the wrecked craft. They con-
stftuted the crew of the Metropolitan.
One was dead from exposure when
the heroes reached shore an hour
later, second was reported dying
and the third, w. L. Carver of North
ampton, Mass, said he did not know
perintendent Rasmussen, commanding
the fifth district coast guards said
the rescue was one of the most
heroic on coast guard annals. Shore
residents acclaimed the men and their
seed as outrivalling other recent
rescues at sea.
/, Death of one member of the barge
crew brought the estimated toll of
the storm in New Jersey waters to
eight. Three men were reported lost
on the Barge Vapor off Sandy Hook
last night and three. others who
sought refuge in lifeboat when the
barge Phoenix broke loose were be-
lieved lost. The Phoenix broke OFF
Sandy Hook and shortly there after
an empty lifeboat was carried In by
the gales. One man was reported
lost from an empty railroad barge
which grounded off Asbury Park.
Five other barges were in more
or less danger off the coast today
and the fate Of the tug Georges
Creek and another unnamed tug had
not been determined

Wednesday, Scoffers may scott and
scorners may make mean cracks
about the latest terpsichorean shuttle
but no less parsonage than the
governor Of the great state of Wash
.ngton, has given it his o. X. In
fact, he is himself a Charlestoner. He
proved it last might at the Holstein
Breeders banquet when, on dare,
he swung SUCK u nifty Charleston
foot that he had the diners fairly
standing on their chairs and roaring
their applause. In the course of his
address Governor Hartley extolled the
grace of a Charleston dancer who
had been seen earlier in the evening.
1T is proper, occasionally" he said
ito get out and away from ones

too, If the boys in the orchestra
would give me as good music as they
played for her"
A few moments later, just as the
governor was concluding his address
.the boys in the orchestra" crashed
the air with latest Charleston jazz.
The governor made good. He swung
as shiekish a foot as had been seen
on a ball room or stage floor here in
many day.
