The life-boat was launched but the vi-'lence O: the surf was such that she was u.-eaav- Scores of men were present, but rescue was considered impossible. Albert Eur to: g— men a young fellow nineteen — made a ret-olvo that ho would swim to them with a line. The sailors endeavoured to dissuade him from his rash, purpose, and failing this rau away that they might not—to use their own words—" see him and failing this ran away that they might not—to use their own words-" see him drown before their eyes." He, however, after repeated failures, having been in the water about four hours, succeeded in legcning them. For this heroic conduct he was awarded three medals—one from the Humane Society, another from the LjfcboaL Association, and a third from the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society."

DEATH OF MR JOHN DAVIES, COMMERCIAL HOTEL, FISHGUARD j It is with regret that we announce the death of Afi- John navies of the Commercial Hotel, Fishguard, after an illness of a short d: nation. The deceased, who was most liigldy esteemed in the town and neighbour- hood, had held the position of stationuiastcr at, Cryinmych, Clynderwen, and other places, for a number of years. During his stay at Crymmyeh he took a great iiiterest affairs of the place generally—upon several occasion acted as secretary to eisteddfodan, &c. Mr Davies and his family came to [ Fishguard about seven years ago to take oyer the Commercial Hotel, at which place Mr Davies drew his last breath on Thurs- day, the 28th day of December last. The deceased was very highly respected by both rich and poor, and in his death the latter will miss a true friend. We need not say that Mrs Oavies and her children feel very keenly'the loss which they have sustained, and to them there will be a terrible Wank, j and, indeed, to the townspeople in general, The funeral took place on Monday last and was very largely attended, his remains! being interied in the New Cemetery, Fish- guard. The coffin, which was made of polished oak, bore the following iuscripLÍoll- JOHN DAVIES, DIED 1 DEC. 28th, 1893, AGED 51 YEARS. Places of business were partially closed, and blinds were drawn all along the route as a « £ sixniiiiauhy for the bereaved widoiv and family, The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr Walter James, undertaker, Fishguard.
