contending against storms and cold
and hunger.
While the Revenue Cutter Tahoma

the pleasure of a delightful call from
some 'if the men, viz. Max Mindak,
Master at Arms; E. C Russell, Ships
Carpenter; C. H. Beede, Electrician;

high. It will he divided into two
rooms, one ten by sixteen feet to I e
