FWIW - The U.S. Revenue-Cutter Service and U.S. Life Saving Service were merged in 1915 to form the U.S. Coast Guard.

Neat postcard from the Bering Sea showing a short lived volcanic island and landing party of Revenue-Cutter Service men.
(This newly-formed volcanic island is mentioned in the 1200+ pages of documents, 'knute1' posted the link to access).

BTW - The U.S. Revenue Cutter "Perry" ran aground on St. Paul Island, Alaska, in a fog while patrolling in 1910. The crew of 60 was saved, but, the ship was not salvageable.
