have received more encouragement in
connection with this matter than ever
beforein a political way." However, I am

by Mr. Moody for a nomination .for a
third term. Portland Telegram.

TO RESCUE
New York Jan. 1 Mounted on a spirit
ed horse, Lieutenant Owen Gollins, United
States army, made one of the strangest
efforts ever attempted to rescue the crew
of a stranded ship when he tried to carry
a life line out from Watch Hill, Connecti
cut, to the schooner Allan, on the rocks
three quartert of a mile from thore.
While the great wavet were pounding the
schooner about like a piece of cork, and it
teemed certain that the crew of Ave men
would meet death in the tea, the soldiers
of the One Hundredth coast artillery
gathered on the shore and constituted
themselves into a life-saving corps.
After three attempts to carry a life line
out to the stranded ship, Gollins was
forced to give up because each time his
horse got beyond his control in the raging
sea and twam madly back to the thore.
Ones Gollins Was a quarter of a mile
out in the turf 'before the horse failed,
.After an hour spent in trying to reach
the distressed seamen on horseback,
Gollins and another lieutenant and three
privates launched a small boat and reach
ed the ship. The boat was so small it
could take off but two men at one time,
so they were obliged to make three
voyages before all five of the sailors
were rescued.
