HEROISM BY MR ALBERT FUR LONGl The following par i mlarsof the heroism i performed by :\i r Albert Furlong, of Eisi,guard, appeared in the Haverfordwest, Telejiri.pl, last v?eek In the early parti of lite month of February, in the year; (lui-iii, zi terrible gale on the Pem- Z;) brokeshire coast there was a vessel driven ashore on the coast near Eishguard, and two of the crew were seen to be clinging to a piece of rock separated from the main land. 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.

TRAP ACCIDENT. Mr Cr. XL Lawrence, Excise Officer, Fisl..guard, met with a trap, accident, on V\ ednesday afternoon, and it appears tlmL he received severe injuries to his head and face.

STRA Y NOTES. [BY PHILO."] f The stirring addresses delivered at the 'presentation meeting on Friday lliht will, undoubtedly, create a nesire and be a spur to our youngsters to become perfect ia tho arc of swimming. Undoubtedly, the numerous readers of the Echo will regret to hear of the death i of Mr John Davies, of -the Commercial Hotel. He was well known and higidy estee.med, and in his death Fishguard has lost oue of its most popular inhabitants. Our footballer have bad a vory unsuc- eessful season so far. They were again defeated on Boxing Day at St. David's. Being a eye-witness of the last match, I had prepared some notes ou the game, but I have just been informed that there is no space at my disposal jthis week.—-[We regret our inability to publish Pliilo's regret our inability to publish Pliilo's football notes this week.] At a prayer meeting a man expressed himself LillIS Dyro oleuni i mi yn Ie: cwattodd maugu yr arian pan landiodd y French, ar gownt i fi gael tamed o fara." Whether he has had the required light, I am not in a position to say. I hope the school question has come to au end, and that the parties interested in the management will co-operate, that we may again see the schools in their usual flourishing state. Some of our school teachers have spent a very quiet Christmas, and, indeed, no wonder, when we consider that obey lie > to go without their salaries. I hear that our enterprising townsman, Mr William James, intends oil his premises. Cood start in the new year. The new year has commenced its course in fine weather. A party had been organised to caroi tho new year ill, but L am ex I rem el v- sorry to hoar that their efforts were in vain, through being interrupted by a gang of young men and women, who indulged in singing comic songs, &c., whilst 11*1 the select party rendered religious hymas. The disturbance wlnen. prevailed on new year's morning does not add anything to the credit of our town.
