Canada on at least two occasions expressed its gratitude to United
States light keepers. C. R. Dobbins, keeper of the Moose Peak,
Maine, lighthouse, received a gold watch "in recognition of his
humane and gallant services to the shipwrecked crew of
the British schooner Ashton." C. E. Marr and E. H. Pierce, keepers
of the Cockolds, Maine,
fog signal station, received silver watches for rescuing the captain
and crew of the schooner Aurora on January 4, 1896.
