 see them and enjoy the cead rnilU fuilte of himself and 

 family, as well as an oral description of his first visit 

 to America, together with his rejections on a people

Many instances of bravery and daring are on record, 

 where Nantucket men have perilled life to save others 

 from these wrecks. Believing that the public will be 

 interested in knowing who these brave men are, a list 

 is here given of those who have at various times dur- 

 ing the past twenty years been rewarded by the general 

 government and Humane Society, for acts of unselfish 

 daring unsurpassed in the world's history. A number 

 in the list have passed to the *' great beyond,* ' but 

 they will find there their heroic deeds inscribed in 

 ra of gold on the great book.
