HEROES OF THE SEA. M 4 RVELOUS DEEDSOF RESCUE NEVER DESCRIBED BEFORE. A Forlorn Hope at. (.ten Arbor, Mich. On the lee Coated Hocks of Maine amt In the Wild Atlantic—True Talcs From the l,ife Savers' Logbook*. (Copyright, ISSS, by American Press Association. Book rights reserved. ]

EDALS of honor doubtless fall lit times to the undeserving, or at least to those not so deserving as some others, hut the j readers of the following stories of life saving will j agree that the j brave principals | merited the high- i est reward in the | service. That Is what they received ,

—the gold medal. The night of Nov. 19, i 1879, the schooner Phelps was driven ashore by a northeaster about one mile from the dis k at Glen Arbor, Mich. Her decks were broken up and swept away, leaving only a fragment on the bow where the mate and one sailor took refuge. The lee rail lay under water, the weather rail i had gone piecemeal with the decks, and all that remained was coated with lee. At daybreak a citizen discovered the plight of the two men and gave the alarm. Some of the townspeople sledded to the beach an old leaky flat bottomed flshliout, the only life craft available. Five volunteers manned the boat and put off, hut were | quickly driven hack by the terrible sea and wind. The boat was half filled with j water, and the crew drenched. A second! attempt was at once made by four of the first crew with a fresh volunteer. Making a start from a point to the windward of the wreck, t hey succeeded in reaching it astern, where the boat was made fast. The bow where the imperiled sailors were could not be reached owing to the heavy sea heating on the windward side and the mass of tangled spars, rigging, sails and deck plank, which hung the lengt h of the hull on the leeward side and thrashed the water with every movement of the ship. While the crew were surveying the situation, their boat half filled with water and was with difficulty rowed ashore, stern foremost. By that time the original four of the crew were covered with ice and chilled to the bone. Leaving a man on the beach to cheer the forlorn sailors by signals, they ran to their homes for dry clothing and returned to the task with a fresh volunteer and a new and daring plan. Meantime the force of the winds and waves had increased, and in spite of their best efforts the boat at times fell astern. But at last they drove their weak craft under the shelter of t he lee of 1 lie wreck and there lay to until an opening was found in the heaving mass of wreckage wide enough to admit the hew of the boat. Into the opening the heat was driven until it became wedged fast. For a time all the strength and skill of the bmvo crow was required to prevent the boat getting crushed by the spars and timbers which almost inclosed it. The sailors were CO fo«d %way, across that heaving, shifting mass. A line thrown to them was caught by tlie mate, who passed it around ids body and began to crawl toward the boat. The seas at times throw him down, but the line saved him from being washed underneath the wreckage, and lie finally reached a piece of the old deck about 15 foot from the rescuers. A chasm lay between, and there was a deadlock for a moment. Not to he balked in the presence of the miserable men, the brave life savers worked the boat high up on the very top of the tossing mass of wreckage. In this way the mate was safely taken on board. The sailor attempted to follow his companion, lint being much weaker came near being lost. When half way, the crossing spars and timbers caught his limbs and held him fast. Two of tho rescuers quickly sprang from the boat, and setting him free hauled him 29 feet along a spar to tho piece of deck where tho boat rested. Getting him on board, the crew watched a favorable chance to lower the boat when the wreckage was awash. Much water was taken in in tho operation, and they duro not turn in the terrible sea for fear of capsizing, so backed the boat all tho way to shore, where it was met in the surf by a delirious crowd of spectators who fairly lifted tho boat, crew and all to their shoulders and boro them up the beach. No men better deserved the nation's highest token than William A. Clark, Charles A. Busman, Welby C. Ray, John Tobin and

John Blanehileld.

From a situation fully ns desperate as that of the crew of tho Phelps one hero, almost unaided, saved two perishing siamen at Cape Elizabeth, Me., uu Jan. 28,

Slippery roots, wnero tne sngntest misstep would b< fatal. The line fell short in spite of his I lest efforts, and after several attempts ho was compelled to get bark to the mainland to restore warmth to bis hands and feet. The line had become coated with ice and quite unmanageable. Discouraged at the ill success of Hanna's expedient, the assistant retreated to the lighthouse, leaving the brave keeper alone. Alxuit that time a tremendous wave threw the schooner on her beam ends, and Hanna knew there was not a moment to lose. Once more he picked his way through the blinding, drenching spray and liy exerting all ins strength got tho line aboard within roach of one of the men. Fixing the lino around his body, the sailor signaled the keeper and then leaped into the freezing surf. With difficulty Hanna drew him ashore, for the man was almost gone, and his jaws were set as if in death. Loosening tlie line, he threw it again, and in tho same manner dragged the second sailor ashore just as help arrived. Hanna received the gold medal. Another single handed rescue won tho medal for Cheney It. Prouty, collector of the customs at Indianola, Tex. One day In May, 1878, Prouty, with two friends and a colored boat bund, attempted to re turn with a sailboat from Matagorda is land to Indianola. In tucking under a heavy wind and sea the boat unset, and llnding it impossible to right her tlie men clambered upon her side, where they rf niained lloating about in tlie moonlight from 7 to 11 o'clock in the evening. The moon set at the latter hour, and it was seen that tlie boat would sink unless lightened by at least one of the men weighting her down. Prouty insisted upon being the man. Removing his boots and upper clothing, he cut tlie main boom for a (loot and struck out in the shark infested w«i /y.

HANNA ON THE 1< V HOCKS. 1885. Early in the morning, with the weather 10 below zero, the schooner Australia went upon the rocks. The crew had barely time to take to the rigging before the decks were dismantled, and the powerful seas even leaped the tall masts and swept the captain away before he could climb beyond their roach. Two men remained perched in the tops, where they suffered terribly, being drenched to tlie skin. Through the blinding snow the masts were seen from the lighthouse, whore Keeper Hanna lay asleep after a long night's tour at the fog signal. He was aroused and immediately ran to tlie shora, followed by his assistant. The rough water told him that a boat was out jt the question, and he instantly thought if a life l$tie. Weighting tlie end of the rope with a piece of metal, he clambered out on the iee coated rocks almost Into the surf. Hanna hml just got up from a long Illness, and his night of vigil at the fog signal had nearly prostrated him again. He onuld barrlv maintain a foot liar on tho

RESCUE FROM THE WRECKAGE, tors. After struggling four hours lie reached shore and walked or ran eight miles along the beach with Ids bare feet upon the sharp shells to a bayou used as a schooner anchorage. Arousing the crew of the llrst vessel encountered, he guided them to tlie scene of disaster and at daylight boro down upon the hapless party, still lloating about the bay. Prouty received ids medal ip 1884, and at tlie same time the board granted one for another deed of individual heroism. This time the lucky man was a sailor, and the rescue took place on the high sens. In the latter part of November, 1879, the United States frigate Constellation lay in the vicinity of the Azores, stormbound in a gale lasting a week. On the morning of the 24th a tiark was discovered some miles distant, with colors at half mast and signals flying for immediate help. The frigate sailed up and after a hard struggle cleared a small boat containing six men under the lead of Ensign Lovell K. Reynolds. The distressed ship had lost her rudder and was leaking badly. Her crew of 12 men had stood to the pumps five days and nights, and, to make matters worse, her cargo of grain Imd swollen so as to force the planks from her sides. Tlie relief boat could not hoard tho wreck for fear of being stove against her hull, but lay close and picked up four sailors who jumped into the sea. Those were taken to tlie Constellation, nr.d the boat, freshly manned, made a second trip with the gallant ensign in command. As the day was wearing and there were still eight sufferers on tho wreck a second bout attempted the trip, hut was driven back by the terrible sea. Reynolds got through, bringing back five thankful sailors. It was then dark. Fearing that tlie wreck would not hold out till daybreak, Reynolds offered to go out again if a crew would volunteer. Double the number needed were ready to follow the gallant ensign on the hazardous tusk. One by one the sailors were taken off. While hoisting the loaded boat to tlie davits of the Constellation tho ship gave a roll, and the frail shell was dashed against tho hull with a force that stove her fore and aft . Reynolds was thrown down across tho gunwale and would have been crushed in the collision but for tho quickness of ids mates, who saw tiie danger and hauled him clear. Among these recitals of volunteer heroism belongs the story of tlie most daring rescue in the history of the regular coast guard. So extraordinary was tlie risk that tho men might have pleaded physical impossibility as an excuse for falling to make the attempt. Tlie sea ran mountains high off stormy Hntteras on the 21st of December, 1884, and tlie barkentino Ephraim Williams cast her anchors beyond tho outsr shoals. At daylight on the 22d the life saving crews saw that the thundering surf had driven her past tho shoals upon the sand several miles from the station. No sign of life appeared on the vessel until 10 o'clock, when signals of distress wore hoisted, and tlie Capo 1 bitterns crew at once prepared to brave the terrible sea. To tho spectators if not to the excited surfmen the task seemed a forlorn hope. Between the inner bar and the offing where there were lives in peril calling for help, an almost unbroken wall of water reared Us towering crest. The inner breakers were passed safely, then came the hazardous outer bar, iia'f a mile distant, whore the llifty billows met the first shock of resistance. At times the entire interior of the boat could lie seen from on shore as it gracefully mounted those frowning crests. It seemed as though it must topple over backward. Rut on and on it went, under tho powerful strokes of tho determined rowers. Watching for a break in tlie combers, they drove it over the wall and entered upon their live mile race for life to tlie wreck. On reaching there it was found impossible to lay alongside in the storm tossed sea, and the sailors were taken off singly by a line. There wore nine of them, and it required the utmost skill to avoid staving the lifeboat and also to get it back to shore, laden as it was gunwale deep. Tlie rescued jieoplo were helpless, for they had been exposed to the storm 90 hours without food or water. The seven participants in tills gallant and daring rescue, Keepers Etheridge and Dally and Surfmen Gray, Mldgett, Fulcher and the two Jeuaetts, were each awarded the gold medal. George L. Kilmer.
