In that storm the entire crew of the pilot-boat "Columbia" was lost, and the wreck is now on exhibition at Scituate. Mr. Peck showed numerous pictures of surf to demonstrate the dangers undergone in launching life-boats. One of the slides was a fac-simile of a letter written by the keeper of Minot's Ledge lighthouse, stating that...

Captain Bacon coached from the "John Harvard...

These tickets will give the same privileges of applying for Yale game tickets as were formerly accorded to H. A.
