Five minutes after the life-savers put out, word came that the ship-| wrecked crew sought off Dungeness had been safely picked up by a pass- ing steamer. But it was too late for this message to be shouted to them-- the lusty oarsmen were well beyond the roaring breakers. Seme hours later the anxious wo- men and children, huddled on the beach, saw the lifeboat returning in the teeth of the gale. Once the boat, tossing like a chip, appeared plainly on the crest of a curling swell. A sail had been rigged up;'the men were used to canvas, no matter what the blow. ped under a blast of wind and the boat was capsized by a great wave from behind. The bodies were wash- ed in afterward, the bereaved women forming chains in the surf to recover them, ~~ THE TOLL OF THE SEA.

A little man can con- tain himself no longer--he means to lead a cheer for the Queen, words that he shrills out are: "Three cheers for the King--God bless him." Yet on occasions when the King chooses to move among his people as a simple British gentleman instead of a sovereign, he is amazingly free from annoyance. One ofternoon he went in this role to Wembley, where the Bri tish Empire Exhibition was housed. There he moved quietly about among the crowds and «studied the exhibits from all corners of the empire just as the humblest person present did. It was hard for an American report- er who had seen pre-election crowds in the United States break the police i lines in a mad rush to get near a can- didate, to understand the British atti- i tude, much as he admired it. While his London friends were trying to ex- plain it, an American rushed up to the King and thsust out his hand. "Shake hands with an American," he urged the King. "I've never been | this close to a King before." | 'While I stood quaking in anticipa- tion of the rush of detectives which I expected would overwhelm my coun- tryman and wondered whether I could do anything to help him, unmannerly or misguided fellow that he was, the King shook hands with him as if the incident was an every-day affair.
