Spafford showed that ho c<^4*id KanclJc the economics of tax rodu^tion as wel^ as the justice of the adjusted compensation. Many peraons\reversed fheir opinion after that meeting. H. K. Hutty, who served in the navy with Spafford, told the following story in a recent issue of the Nassau County (N. Y.) Legionnaire"I was an eye witness and shall never forget the cool bravery of Spafford which saved the life of one of his shipmates. "We were on the armored cruiser Washington (now the Seattle) spiling slowly down the coast. The weather deck hatches were closed securely, for a gale off Hatteras was making our run far from pjeasant. Boatswain's Mate Faraday ventured out oi) the forecastle to see that everything was secure; a gr<jen sea broke over the ship and Faraday was swept overboard. Engines were stopped and life-bouys let go. . "With others of the crew I went aft and there ! saw Spafford in the life boat waiting for the order to lower. The storm was so severe that until the captain arrived on deck and gave his permission, no one dared give the order to lower tha^ boat. If one thing went wrong, Spafford and every other man in that boat would be lost. The captain said something to Spafford, and he answered, but what that conversation was I do not know. "There was Faraday in the bouy now to windward of the ship; attempts to bring the ship alongside the buoy had failed, and Faraday! was being slowly drowned by the ! spume whipped off the waves. I have never seen a more angry sea. "The boat was lowered safely, and some of the men in that boat afterward told me that they saw the keel of the ship. Skillfully handled, but often lost to the sight of those on board the ship, that little boat worked its way to the buoy. Faraday> by this time unconscious and unable to ' help himself, was dragged into that boat by Spafford. "The boat returned and eventually ' was hoisted safely. Faraday was I taken out of the boat on a stretcher, and he was wearing Spafford's life belt. There hadn't been enough to go around so Spafford, the Gunnery Officer of the Washington, had taken his off and placed it on his half drowned shipmate. "What a cheer burst from the throats of those on board!" ' Wait h Heavy HurUr. New York, Jan, 23,?Modern Woman hits when she throws.
