They returned again and again whenever a change in the tide or a tem- porary abatement in the ferocity of the gate calmed a revival of hope, however slight, that they might reach the casta- ways.

Their heroism was rewarded. Even now, however“ their task is not com- pleted, for there remain on the wreck two or three women whom tear or ex- haustion prevented irom using the life- line, by means of which their compan- ions were rescued" Renewed efforis are now being direcied at saving them, and as [he gale has abated and the weather cleared some- what there is considerable hope of suc- eves. lie I: “heeled About the Grounds In an Invalid Chair.
