...gamut of hope, disgust, and despair in which he found little relief and small comfort. His native wife proved a temporary and fallacious hope, and soon passed with other phases of his experience.

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 the waves had at times been thrown 20 feet above the ocean...
