McKeldin Speaks
The Constitution gives each
State the same number of elec-
tors as it has total members ir
the United States Senate anC
House of Representatives. Thus
Maryland cast only 9 electoral
votes to Virginia's IL. ever
though the Free State had about
100000 more voters at the polls
on November 6.
Gov. McKeIdin addressed the
snine Republicans who gathered
IN Annapolis to cast Maryland'S
3 votes.
AS one Of the original and
consistent supporters Of iPresi-
dent Eisenhower" the Governor
said he was happy" that his
reelection was being made Off
cial.
But let me assure you," he
added, that if the situation had
been reversed and If you were
here today to vote for those
who ran in opposition :. ! still
would be here to extend my
enthusiastic welcome and to
speak words of congratulations.
Because above and beyond the
official and essential action of
the electoral college, there is
a magnificent symbolism which
means niuchto this republic and
to the States and common
wealths Of which it is composed.
1T is important, too. that we
be reminded, from time to time,
that it is the States which elect

without food of any kind for over
four days, his only sustenance
having been rainwater caught in
the sail, and his survival was sim
ply marvellous. Once in the boat
no time was lost in transferring
him to the shore, where restora-
tives fro m the medicine chest
were quickly administered, and he
was then conducted to the station,
comfortably clad in warm gar
ments from the supply box of the
Wonren's National Relief Associa-
ton, and otherwise cared for. The
mans wonderful powers of endur-
ance and his great recuperative
energy may be illustrated by
statement of the fact that in two
days from the time of his deliver
ance he was ready to leave for
Virginia Beach, there to take the
train for Norfolk, en- route to Bal
timore, his home. Five of the
bodies of the drowned seamen
were subsequently recovered at
various points along the shore,
that of the captain being found
on November 10th, nearly four
weeks after death. All were given
decent burial, the body of Capt.
Grace being afterward claimed
and removed by relatives.
In concluding this melancholy
narrative the conviction is ex-
pressed that the life-saving crews

Keeper COrbel Goes to Sea

NcCPCh SVAUcb UUcA 70 Oe8
By midnight the wind had can't

to a moderate breeze. The sea al
so fell rapidly, so that at S o'clock
in the morning of the 18th, before
daylight, the surfboard was again
moved down to the edge of the
water in readiness for a launch.
Life belts were then strapped on
by the picked crew Of oarsmen
from the Wash Woods and False
Cape crews, including Keeper
O'Neal of the last-named station,
and with the veteran keeper, NAL
achi Corbel, at the steering oar, a
bold and successful dash was made
through the heavy line of breakers
on the bar. Once through these
the sunken wreck, which, in the
darkness, had to be approached
with some caution to avoid en-
tanglement in the cordage hang
ing from the spars. To the great
relief of every man in the boat a
fat response came to the keepers
hail, and presently there crept out
into view the form of the sole sur
vivor of the dreadful tragedy, and
Robert Lee Garnet was saved.
He had been ensconced within
the sheltering folds of the mizzen
gafftopsail, and this protection
with the aid of splendid physi-
cue, had enabled him to withstand
the great hardships to which he
had been exposed. He had been

off to the vessel in their boat they
did all that was within their
power. The conditions placed her
practically beyond reach, and the
investigation shows very concIu-
sively that there never was a time,
from the moment of the discovery
of the situation of the sailors in
the rigging on the morning of the
oath until the early hours of the
morning of the 18th, when any
type of boat could have put off
from the beach through the break
ers, there being absolutely no lee
or shelter to favor such an under
taking, as is usually found when
a vessel gounds on the bar near
shore.
1t was also shown beyond doubt
that no tug or other available
craft under steam, nor boat pro-
PEELED by oars, could have render
ed succor from seward during
that period. This surely was an
occasion when human agency was
powerlass to save. 1t may be
added that while the efforts of the
surfmen in this and the two fol-
lowing cases were not crowned
with the success which has been
the distinguishing characteristic
of the life-saving organization, the
crews achieved noble results at
other wrecks on the same coast
during the same storm, where the
odds were not so overwhelmingly
against them.

known as Pebble Shoal, one of the
many small outlying shoal humps
in the vicinity of False Cape, and
there she bilged and quickly filled
with water.
The top of the cabin was almost
Immediately swept away, and the
vessel settled into the sand until
the hull was wholly submerged,
leaving nothing but the masts
above water. What passed during
the remaining hours of that dread
full night is blank, beyond the
statement of Garnett that at 5
o'clock in the morning of the gath,
the steward, a colored man, unable
to hold on any longer, fell into the
storm. dashed sea and was lost.
This greatly shocked the rest.
When day dawned tho scene from
the rigging of the wreck was a
wild AMI certifying one. The wind
still ragged and the waves broke
into surf as far offshore as the
eye could see through the pelting
rain and spume drift, while to the
leeward lay the low sand hills,
which ever and anon came into
sight and were then hidden by the
towering pillows that nladly
chased one another shoreward,
and were there scattered with
thunderous roar into a smother Of
foam and spray upon the desolate
beach.
Tide On Station Floors
The first intimation the Wash
Woods crew had of there being a
craft in the offing was after mid
night, when the incoming patrol
man from the north beat reported
faint white light apparently
sonre distance off. This he had
answered with his Coston danger
signal. 1t should be stated here
that the storm tide had risen so
high that it swept completely
across the lower floors of the sta
ton. Under these conditions pa
troll duty was attended with the
greatest difficulty and danger the
men having in places to wade hip
deep and being frequently driven
to the knobs for safety.
The next patrol upon returning
at daylight brought news that a
vessel had sunk during the night
well off shore; the masts at that
time showing above water about
two-thirds of their length, while
the end of the jib boom was just
visible between the seas. The YES
sci lay with her head shoreward.
As it was scarcely light when the
patrolman passed her, he saw
nothing of the crew. Another surf
man was at once dispatched up the
beach to obtain more definite in
formation, and returned with the
report that he could see several
men in the rigging.
1t was impossible to handle the
beach apparatus just then, by rea-
son of the condition of the beach,
but as soon as the water fell off
on the ebb tide the men set out
with the long-range gear and aft
er a hard tug reached the scene at
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon
In the meantime, at about 9
o'clock, according to Garnett's
statement, the second mate had
been swept from the rigging and
another man share a like fate an
hour or so later. Thus but five
men were in the rigging when the
station crew arrived, and shortly
afterwards another fell into the
sea.
An attempt to reach the craft
with a line thrown from the
wreck-gun failed utterly, the shot
dropping into the water about hall
way. It was thus demonstrated
that, owing to the great distance
the beach apparatus was practi-
cally useless, the officer detailed
to investigate the affair reporting
