LAUNCHING A LIFEBOAT AT OAK ISLAND STATION. Itc filiation f the Life Savin;; Servlro. Throw Ins t!io Llfo Line 1 ho L!f Sav ing Anchor The ISroechc ISuu) K-Hiou-ltittliii; i Drowning Iaii. Every morning afte.r breakfast the lifeboat is 1 lunched for practice. The boat lay o.n tho licueh just beyond lvich of tho wacs. It wa shaied like un Indian canoe, tuenty eight foot long aud S.x fit wide. The cap tain steers tho I tout with an oar tw.nty-two fet long. There aro plai-es for twelve oar.; lnon in tha toat, and each mun handles a.i oar sixteen feet long. The lioat is i.i'ii-d lown to tho water on woodn rollers, l-'ive rows of great green M?ahoi-ses were tuniblitig in, waving their white manes, when tho re porter climbed into the boat and t'o'i a se.-it in tho lxw. Six men ranged themselves on either ;ido and Capt. Arnold stood at tho stern. As a great wave receded sullenly the captain cried: 'Now, boys, let her go!' Tho iKiat forged slowly ahead, thrusting her nose into a toppling wall ff foaming wat-. r. The men jumped ia und grabbed their oars. Tho next wave lifted tho boat on its foaming crest and hurled it back. IJeforo the liTe savers could recover their lost ground a grout green monster slipjied his inig"hty shoulder under tho keel and threw tho liout high and dry upon tho beach. Deluged with waterund panting like hounds, tho men bailed out tho water and rested for a moment. But they were not dismayed. Oneo more they placed tho bout on an even keel. This time they Eaceoode 1 in getting through three lines of the o -ean's guard-!, but tho fourth was what ono of t ho men called an "old ilundcrskin." It seemed to froth with rago at the uudacity of those puny life savers. Tho men threw their whole weight on tlio oars. Thoy tugged until tho stout wood groaned in pain; bat it vas no u.ie. Tho crew wero pretty well fagged oat by this time, and were inclined i' give up the attempt: but Capt. Arnold';; blood was up. Ho decided on trying it oaco more. Tills timo great care was taken iu tho si lec tion of a recoiling wave. Just at the right moment tho boat was launched and forced through the breakers in one, two, three order, end the gallant craft at last shot through the last foaming sea wall and rode on the lor-g swell outside the surf. The regulations of tho Kcrvico require that tho life boat shall Ik launched every day 1 rom tho 1st of September to the 1st of May, but ia very rough weather tiiis rule can lie modi fied ai the discretion of tlio captain. I'.ut throwing the life lino is practiced only twice a week. This is a very interesting operation. After dinner, which consisted of apple jK.t pie, coffee boiled in a throe gallon eollee pot, a big pitcherful of miik with ival, genuine cream half an inch deep on top, mealy pota toes and juicy blucfl-h. the stove was black ened with molasses and vinegar, and then tbo cart containing tho life lines was run oat into a meadow back of thu station house. Tho little cannon was carried out into the field and sighted so that the life line, or whip, as it is called, would be shot over a post about 50.) feet away. Tho captain tool: from a leather cartridge box swung around bu shoulder a little red flannel bag containing one ounce and a half of coarse iovdor. This bag was pkice-d in the cannon and rammed homo. No wadding was usihI. Then un iron or steel weight ubout one foot long, und hav ing on ono end a thin piece of iron resembling a s tii. a of poker with a ring in the end, was di'oppo I into the cannon. It weighed about fourteen pounds. While tho cannon was being '.repared for tho anchor had been placed i i io;itio:iv A iifo saving anchor is a very curious con trivance. It consists of two very heavy oak l inks about sia feet long and bolted to ;h. r ia the middle with a ring bolt. These pi. inks uro spread apart until they resemble 1 cr.;ss. They aro then buried in the sard roai two to three feet deep. The str.ain comes upon the center of tho anchor, and Oapt. Arnold said tho anchor would stand a .:..i- iei1 strain to part an inch line. AVhcn the anchor had been properly buried, tho car.non was fired by means of a lanyard and i patent fuse. The iron weight shot up in the air to aa elevation of sixty feet, carrying tho whip with it, which wad about the size of a clothes lino, bat much stronger, anil plumiied down into the sand. Tho lino had been carried directly over the jiost and was caught by a man oa a ladder, who repre sented a shipwrecked sailor. Ho hauled away on tho small lino until he hud pulled in un other line about aa inch in thickness. Fast c:uxl to the larger line was what is called a "tally board." This board was about 13x6 inches in size. Upon one sido of the board was printed in English the following words; Make the hawser fast about two feet above ta tail block. See all clear and that tho rope in the block runs free, and show eigual to tho shore. After the hawser was made fast by of blocks a breeches buoy was pulled over to tho fictitious wreck. Tliis buoy is an ordin ary life saving buoy, cndant from which was a pair of Knickerbocker trousers made of stout canvas. Seven men heaved away oa the hawser until it was stretched perfectly Straight. Then a prop made of two forked pieces of wood was placed under the shore end of the line, which raised it up in much the same way i hat a clothes line is raised tnta the air. Tho breeches buoy was pulled over the line, swinging fram a block and tackle, tho make believo castaway swung himself into it and was pulled ashore, and tho practice was over. The process cf winding up the whip line so that ii will not snarl was very ingenious. A board about two by three feet in size was placed upon the grouiaL Into the outer edge cf this board iegs were 6et about an in eh apart. Tho reixj was wound up on these pees in such a " ay that when tho weight flew from the cannon's mouth the rope was unwound in a way which prevented a snarl such as occurred before this process was invented. The longest lino ia the station was 1,-JU feet. If a ciwe should occur in which the breeches buoy would be required, six ounce3 of powder would bo used in the cannon. After the life line practice tho men wen into tho station house and practiced resusci tating a drowning man. Each oao cf tho men i3 required to eoniimt to memory two cr thrc3 pages of printed matter from a book containing iastructioas as to his duties when ; a half drowned person is rescued. Those : c j hcarsals aro sometimes very funny, for r.o I matter how well the life saver um lerr.tar.-ls ' Lis duties practically, when he tries to oper : ate on a living man and repeat his lines at the same time, he is apt to become confuted I and forget what to say. It was so in this ia ; stance. A big, brawny, bearded life saver I Lay upon Lis back upon the floor. Another man knelt beside him and placed ono hand I upon the prostrate man's breast bone. Then j ho began to repeat his lines in a sing song i fashion, running Lis words together without ' any regard to pa-iso or inflection. lie came to a sudden halt. Ho scratched bis head and J reflected for a minute. "I'm stuck," said bo. The capt in jogged Lis memory, but itwts , rf no tie, and L-j had to give up the attempt, j The captain took tho patient in hand and Lu ! ishe-l tho job by compressing the lower ribs ; of tho patient to induce artiaciul ruiiratioa.
