It-being found impo-^ihe to get aboard the Flocetta from the surfboat, her crewjuiUed back to the life-station. The Fioretta's men again warmed up, and were given dry clothing by Captain St. Peter. Captain McDonald then volunteered to attempt to put Captain Murphy and his sailors aboard from the Carpenter. Once more the sailors and the life-savers were taken aboard the Carpenter, and she proceeded to the t Fioretta, The tug maneuvered a r.hort time, and " finally ran along the lee side, close up. She was only there an instant, bus the men quickly clambered aboard, and after that the rescue of ii the vessel was "no trick at ail."'
