It was an epic of courage on the part of the sturdy Nova Scotians and of the coolness and heroism of Brit- ish seamanship in which Chief Of- ficer E. W.

"The crew were clinging to ropes, and every wave broke over the tiny craft. The sea was so heavy that we could not go alongside, and the men were compelled to jump in- to the swirling waves. We had some trouble in picking them up, and all were utterly exhausted and half dedd from cold whea we got them in the lifeboat. 'It was a ticklish task getting back to the "Empress," he continued. "We finally got alongside, but it was so rough we had to abandon the life- boat.
