〕〔
〕〔


He operated the station for many years and was credited with many dangerous and heroic rescues.
Prior to joining the Life-saving service Napier was Chicago`s harbormaster, and ship's captain.〔
While in Chicago, in 1854, Napier led the rescue of the crew of a wrecked schooner, and was awarded an inscribed gold watch.〔


The duties of a station-keeper included recruiting and training a boat crew of local volunteers, and, when vessel was a risk, to lead the boat crew in rowing to stricken vessels to rescue their crews.〔
The station-keeper and his crew were expected to try to rescue mariners even if it meant rowing into gale-force winds, shattering waves, and dangerous currents.
The rescue boat would be kept on a wagon in a special boat house. During a rescue the crew would tow the wagon with the boat to the nearest relatively safe place to launch.
In one heroic rescue, on his crew's third transit to a stricken schooner, Napier was thrown overboard and seriously injured his leg.〔
He was nevertheless able to lead his crew to rescue the last two stricken seamen.
