It is said that Rose's toes are as long as his fingers. Assistant District-Attorney Clarke, who is prosecuting Rose, combats the insanity theory. A commission, con- sisting of former Judge Donohue, Capt.

If they were to be saved the life- boat was the only recourse. The sea was frightful, but it did not deter the ife-savers. They got out the sturdy boat and manning it with a volunteer crew they rushed it into the roaring breakers, and she rode out upon the heaving sea in safety. "Then came the struggle to reach the ship. The oarsmen bent to their work and succeeded in getting alongside. ‘There was the greatest danger that the lifeboat would be crushed against the sailing vessel's sides as it swung into the lee and got close enough for the members of the crew to jump. ‘There were twenty-one men on board and it was not eafe to crowd them all iuto the small boat.
