wounded mans throat was sewsd up
and his bruises dressed, as were
those of the other men. The sailors
were kept at the station and cared
for as we'll as the facilities of the
place admitted of until the morning
of March 3rd, eight days-when
they We're put aboard small
schooner chartered by the superin-
tendent of the district, acting for
the British consul at Norfolk,
Virginia, for transportation to that
city.
1t was learned that the wounded
seaman bore the trip without dis
advantage and that there was every
promise of his ultimate recovery.
All attested the unvarying kind
ness shown them while at the
station. The following statement,
expressing their gratitude and
praise of the work of the life
saving crew, was handed to the
keeper:
"This is to certify that in my
opinion the captain and crew of
this station, assisted by the captains
and crews of New Inlet and Gull
Shoal Stations, die all in their
power to save the lives of myself
and crew of the bark Josie Troop
which went ashore here on the
night of February %. 1t would have
been impossible for any crew Of
men to have done more. Also for
the kind treatment we have re-
ccived from Captain J. H. Wescott
and his crew during our stay here,
their kind attention to the injured
men (the steward and seamen)
being beyond praise. In fact, the
kindness of all the officers is be-
yond description and a credit to

that Her Majesty's Government
have been informed of the circum-
Stances attending the wreck of the
bark Josie Troop, of New Bruins
wick, in February last, on the
coast of North Carolina near Chica-
micomico, and the services there
rendered by the life saving station
of that place, as we'll as of New
Inlet and Gull Shoal, am now in
structed to request you to be SO
kind as to convey, through the
proper channels to the crews of the
stations above mentioned, the
thanks of Her Maiesty's Govern
ment for the bravery displayed by
them on that occasion, and for
their kindness to the survivors Of
the wreck.

highest consideration, sir, your
most obedicnt, humble servant.

overheard with the foremast, upon
which they had sought refuge. This
fell at about 1 o'clock in the morn
ing. The vessel finally broke up
and the first mate and his five COM
panions were rescued from the
cabin in the manner already de-
scribed.
All the evidence gathered by the
investigating officer concerning
this affair, which included sworn
statements of the survivors, the
keepers and the station crews, and
a number of citizen eye-witnesses
shows that everything was done
that ingenuity could devise to sPve
the lives so unnecessarily sacrificed
that night off Chicamicomico. Had
the land been used continuously
from the time the vessel was first
found to be in twenty-five fathoms
of water until the light of which
they We're in search had been sight
ed, it would not now be necessary
to record in these columns the
wreck of the Josie Troop and the
melancholy loss of the captain and
ten of her crew. 1t is probable that
to the neglect of this, the most i'm
portant duty of the navigator when
approaching land, is attributable
the loss of more life and property
than to any other of the many
causes of shipwreck by stranding.
AS soon as possible after the
men were taken from the wreck.
the keeper of Nags Head Station
was requested by telephone to send
a boat at once to Manteo for a
physician. This was done, and by
using a relay of station horses he
was enabled to reach Chicamico-
mico early in the afternoon. The

short distance south of the Chica-
micomico Station at Rodanthe
(Sixth Districtl, Coast of North
Carolina. The heroic work Of the
lifesavers won the praise Of Queen
Victoria.
At about seven-thirty, in the
evening of the date named, as the
north patrolnran was returning
over the beach on horseback he dis
covered the bark in the breakers.
Putting spurs to his horse he dash
ed up to the station, which was
between him and the vessel, alarm
ing the life savers crew, then gal
loped on down the shore and burned
two CoSton signals to apparise the
people on board that assistance was
close at hand. The wind was blow
ing fresh from the northwest with
a furious sea running, making an
impossible surf along the beach.
The station crew Immediately ran
out the apparatus cart, summoned
by telephone the men of the ad-
jacent stations, and in twenty min
utes' time had their gear opposite
the vessel. She was lying as near
as could be judged, between five
and six hundred yards from the
beach, head on, but slowing sway
ing broadside too, and working to
the southwark. A barrel was aflame
near the forecastle and torch was
burning on the poop deck.
The gun was at once placed in
position and efforts were made to
reach the bark with shot-lines, but
they fell short owing to her ey-
treme distance from the shore,
until but one line remained of the
supply the lifesavers had with them.
The keeper dispatched a surfman to
the station with the horse cart,
with directions to bring to the scene
all the short-lines in store.
In the meantime the Chicamico-
mico crew, reinforced by the crews
of the two adjacent stations and
a number of people from the neigh
boring hamlet of Chicamicomico,
followed the rapidly disintegrating
craft as she pounded through the
heavy breakers down the beach, and
when the cart returned made sever
nj attempts to throw lines over her
but to no purpose. Finally the ves-
sel came within range of the small
est line in use, which was fired off,
but before the report of the gun
had died away the mainmast fell
with a crash, the lights on board
were extinguished, and utter dark
ness closed over the scene. The line,
however ran out so rapidly that the
beachmen were obliged, in order to
prevent its escape altogether, to
fasten on another. When the latter
was nearly exhausted the strain
suddenly coasted and the line came
to a standstill. The slack being
hauled in it was found that the
first line had parted few feet
from its union with the other. 1t
