A Young Heroine Dead.
NEWPORT, Nov. 20.—Miss Lewis, a sister of Ida Lewis, the Grace Darling of America, died this morning from consumption at Lime Rock light house within sight of the boats used by herself and sister in rescuing many lives from drowning near the light. Since she is now gone it can be said that without her assistance many lives would have been lost in the vicinity of the light. Deceased was a young and handsome woman.
