23219f. Bearse, Clarkson P. Sr. THE TRAGEDY OF MONOMOY BEACH or The Graveyard of the Atlantic. Gross Print, Harwich. 1943. 70 p. Soft wraps. Mr Bearse, a native Cape Codder, was a former member of the Life Saving station that figured in the Monomoy Disaster in which so many life savers had been lost. Due to an injury received in the line of duty he was unable to report for service, or otherwise he would have been another victim rather than the author of this rare insight into the events of the disaster. For many years he retained the facts of this famous tragedy and his modesty caused him to refrain from telling his story, until friends finally prevailed upon him. An extremely rare account from one who was there, and a rare look at the life and work of the life-savers at the time! Also includes in the last few pages an honor roll, dedicated to the brave men and women of Chatham and Harwich who were serving in various branches of the armed forces as of August 1, 1943. Light blue wraps, printed on laid decorated paper with engraved illustrations of Chatham Lighthouses at the bottom of each page. Clean, tight, probably never opened, as nice as they come. Light sunning to spine area otherwise as printed. Extremely interesting and quite rare. (VG++). $58.
