A Gallant Rescue.

During his long life at sen Cap- tain Webster has never been wrecked. When mate aboard the "Asenyo" in 1895, he commanded the lifeboat that put out in a gale to rescue nineteen of the crew of

Norwegian steamer. The rescue was effected with great difficulty and danger, and he was awarded the Royal Humane Society Medal. Captain Webster related in this connection that the Norwegian 'cap- sinking ship for the Christmas pig, tain asked him to return to the

a request, needless to say that re- mained unheeded. He tells the. story, too, of an American girl pas- Chengsenger who told him, when she was informed that the propeller was Maru, broken, that thie was nothing.

"No one can see it," she said.
