I tluhk I am safo in saying they were got down to tho beach in record time. . . . Beyond your sorrow. you must feel a great, sense of pride, well knowing that your son died such a noble death, in the very act of carrying out his duties. One of tho. other boys \ died earlier, so we buried them in a little graveyard near the beach. Jim was an active', cheerful bov, had a smile and a 'good morning' for everybody, and is greatly missed by all tho boys here."
