Capsized Boats, Threw Life Lines and Showed How People Are Rescued. ULLY ten thousand people lined the ocean beach yesterday morn- ing and watched crews from the three life s stations—Golden Gate, South - and Fort Point— e a realijtic exhibition of the manner which they depart for a ship in dis- s take off its endangered passen- rs. Every made by the gallant men was cl vatched and favorably commented on. The exhibition was part of the programme laid out by the Native s of the sting features which had preceded it, a great success. Residents of the in terfor and of this elty were given a splen- did illustration of the workings of the Government's life savers, and the excel- lenice and value of the service. They saw powerfully built men whose cheeks glowed with health and whose muscles stood out in their strength, bend to their oars and make their heavy boats fly through the water to imaginary points of danger. The hour set for the exercises was 9:15, and before that time the ocean beach was crowded with spectators. Two-thirds of those on the beach, however, were de- prived of seeing the firing of the life line and the “rescue” of men from the “rig- ging” by reason of the fact that the com- mittes having the affalr in charge forgot to notify them where that part of the pro- gramme would be carried out. A disman. tled ship in back of the Golden Gate Life ving Station was used to carry out the exercises. A large crowd _ intently watched Captain Varney and his crew rescue men from the rigging by means of the “live gun,” breeches buoy and life line, and cheered the men for their en- deavors. ‘After the exhibition on land the life sav- ers donned their white duck suits and life preservers and launched their light boat, which they use for rapid work. It is sink- able, but_the brave sallors do not fear the %ea. When some distance from shore they deliberately upset the boaf and clambered on top of it and waited to be mo rescued. The boat from the South Side station fired a line to the distressed, but 2 = - ———— moasneee hav et NOTABLE AUDIENCE OF FORTY-NINERS three proved the excellence and safety of | e erate, by verumming, them 224 o- | Grand Reception Given Yesterday the scerie and approved of the we Afternoon to Pioneers From All Over the State. the scene and approved of the work of his | IONEERS from all over the | the builders should meet those who are to be men. | The brave life savers who took part In | State gathered In Native Sons’ | the rulers.
