The line fell short. Re- 1 versing the engines and putting tee helm to starboard, the captain of the Hudson tried to bark his vessel down | to the Winslow, but working diiectly against her helm she backed around j until she was bows on to the Winslow j and moving away from her. The aa- j ter was so shallow that the Hudson j was unmanageable, and fate, in the | garb of the regular afternoon sea, brews, was setting the Winslow evetyj moment nearer the shore, and into a ( zone of more murderous fire. Back- j ward and forward, swerving (his way! and that, the Hudson struggled for! more than twenty minutes at a task that each moment grew more helpless At last a fortunate sheer, a quick shift of the helm, the line was thrown, caught, the hawser was iient on. and the two little crafts started to draw away from their most dangerous post- j tlon. , . , It was at this time that tho tragic I ovent which has given this engage ment its sad prominence occurred, j The officers anti crew of the Wlnslo.v! were gathered along her rail, waiting i to grasp tile expected heaving line.
