Rare lengthy account of a visit to the Bridgehampton USLSS station and the lives and work of the men who work there. The interview with Superintendent Capt. Henry L.

Valuable account and well worth the time to read and preserve it. About 55 column inches. Includes numerous additional interesting articles and advertisements of the day. Intact, some wear. (VG). $85.
