My roommate saw this man with one arm clinging to a pieces of wreek, while he held in the other a bundle, supposed to contain silver plate or some other precious thing wrapped up in a bit of clothing, A sudden lift of the waves brought the man and the raft into full view, and thete streamed out from the bundle a tress of hair eighteen inches long. Then my friend knew that the man was trying to save his wife, and said to those abont him : “Cost what it may, 1 will save that man or die in the attempt.” He ran down the beach, following the retreating wave, knelt down as closely as possible to the sand and let the return wave pound him.
