Summaries
Very few people ever think of the United States life saves, except when they read in the papers an account of their heroic work, or are brought fact to face with practical evidence of the rigorous hardships they are compelled to undergo in their daily routine of duty. Few there are who realize that it is not only in stormy weather that they are busy, but every day, stormy or pleasant, drilling with breeches-buoy, life-boat and resuscitation practice, to say nothing of their incessant patrol along the coast, often through snow waist deep. Armed at night with rockets they are always ready to warn vessels when they are getting too close to dangerous shoals, or to notify their comrades when they are needed to man the life-boats and prepare for a dash through the treacherous surf to the rescue of some imperiled vessel foundering upon the rocks. The Edison Company, realizing that the majority of the people of this great country never have had an opportunity to see these drills, and knowing that they would be extremely interesting, have made a moving picture of them that is not only entertaining but instructive.
