MAD MOTORIST. 250 MILES "SWOOP." AMAZtNG STORY: THROAT CUT IN CELL. The wild exploits of the motorist armed with revolvers and wearing an old Indiaji helmet Lad a dramatic sequel on Monday. The mail's adventures in the iouv coun- ties of Hampshire. Dorsetshire Wiltshire, and Somerset, l'ad like a short story by Mr. K.pling. Thrusting d. revolver into ms driver's ribs, he mad e an innocent man drive' him at a mad pace over 250 miles. Patrol was demanded by pistol'menaces and way farers were scared by the same weapon. The motorist got back to Lyndhurst, where he has bp€.n living. There, by a d- perabe manceuvre, the police accomplished hiN atrest, though ho still had A loaded -e- volver in each hasd. On Monday morning ho was foTjnd in his ee.11 at the local police sta.tion with his throat seriously cut. The motorist's 14.1 supposod to be Mr. H. Lee Bond. He is a wealthy man,

'THE PEARL CtRL" AT THE Eo CRANO. Jbovers of hrst-ciass mustcal comedy are fortunate in having an opportunity to witness London's latest and greatest musical comedy success, "The Pearl Girl," which is now playing to packed houses at the Shaftesbury Theare, W. This magnificent production is coming direct to tho Grand TIieatre, Swansea,, next week, and is certainly the most im- portant attraction which ha,s ever visited the town. To those who have already witnessed this wonderful creation in London (and who has not at one time or' another visited the Shaftesbury Theatre); comment is needless, but to those less! fortunate, we should recommend them to book their seats early, and aa,ve conse- quent disappointment. This play is only! visiting a limited number of provincial j towns prior to a long suburban tour, so that Sv. ansea playgoers may not have another opportunity of witnessing rt in the provinces. The proouction:.lcludes 70 musical comedy artistes, who have been specially chosen by Mr. Court- neidge, whose name is ceri.ainly second to none as a producer of musical comedy. Everything is done in a Invish manner, and it is this fact, combined with thH cleverness of the artistes, which has at- tracted thousands of delighted playgoers to The Pearl Girl." Gorgeous scenery, beautiful girls, chai-mujg dresses, ear haunting music, all combine to make the most complete and gorgeous musical play yet produced—such is TtM Pearl GirL"

I FINE "CATCHES." I TRAWLERS LUCK. SWANSEA CREWS' SAL- VAGE HAULS. I In Teeth of Gale. BRILLIANT FEAT OF TOW!NG. Exceptional good fortune has be- faNef; the Castfe Steam Trawling Com- pany of Swansea, for during the week- end two of their trawlers have secured what appear likely to prove retnark- ably remMneTat!ve saiwage hauls, the full extent of which, of course, will have to ba determined by the resultant awards. Our FaJmouth corr&spondent w;rea on Tuesdayt—A remarkable towing feat ha.s been accomplished by the Swansea, steam trawler, Picton C&stle, in the command of Capta.m W. H. Fletcher, which on Monday night towed into FaJmouth the London steamer Ludwig Groedel which it picked up off the coast of Morocco with the pM- peHor brbken, The Ludwig Groedel is 2,964 tone regis- tered. whilst the trawler is only 245 tons, a.nd the towa.ge of between 400 and 500 nules was accomplished through & sea v.hich &t tjmes comptetely enveloped the little craft. The stea.mer was picked up on Friday ni,-ht, &ad from that time unti! Monday night Ca.p- tain Fietcher never once left the bridge. The Picton Castle ,vas bound from Swan- Bp<t to Morocco on a trawling expedition, ajid ) on Friday night, when off Cape Fimsterre, a 'big steamer was seen FLYING SIGNALS OF DISTRESS. A gale of wind was blowing and heavy seas I continually swept the decks of the trawler. On drawing near the big steamer it was found to 00 the Ludwig Groedr--I, bound from Malta, to Barry an ballast in charge of Ca-pt. nrowne. Her PROPELLOR HAD SNAPPED OFf and, Hying in the air. had knocked a. hote in tue stern. Another large-sized steamer was standing by but. was unable to render assistance. The travlpr offered her services, and after con- I MderaMe difEcuIty the Picton Castle's wire rope was got aboard the steamer, and it was tended to make for Fahnouth. Throughout the whole return journey the terrible Nea.s continually battered the plucky j little trawler, and the .crew and those on board wara in an exhausted state when Fal- mouth wa.s readIed ,late on Mcndav nicht. I SKIPPER INTERVIEWED. Interviewed. Ca,pta.in FIetcher sad.d t.he voyage from the coaat of Morocco was the s&verest he had ever been in. Huge seaa (-.ontin-Lially flcoded the decks of the Picton Castle, which behaved splendidly under try- inp; conditiona. q,) boisterous was the wea- ther thstt it was unfit for men to come on de ok. When they left the bridge to relieve the watch they had to climb over the casing at the !]3ck of the bridge. The forecastle was dpserted, the men bein:; unable to go for- ward for four days on account of the sea.s. To have attempted such a thing would have meant a rik of Ufa. It is a mercy we a,re here. "I was I ON THE BRIDGE FOR FOUR DAYS AND FOUR NIGHTS. and was unaMe to 7,et any sl-eep because it \vebs 60 anxious a time for me. Te whole of my crew worked fearlessly, -whilst, the smartll(,,s with which the eM.s;Ineors handled the machinery liad mnch to do with the feat belr)g acdomplidled without mishap."

The sequel to the remarkable scene which occurred at a Briton Ferry church was heard by the Nesth County Justices on Monday afternoon, when Joseph New- some, IJlannon, was charged with wil- fully disturbing the congregation wor- shipping at St. Mary's Church, Briton Ferry, on Sunday. Rev. L. H.

I was afraid." continued the vicar, that the intruder would attack the women, but he made for a young man named Bradley, who seized him by the throat, and with the assistance of severa.1 men in the congregation overpowered him.

The 'phones of the future are to be underground, probably in 20 years' time we shall not see one overhead wire in Swansea at all. Five pipes are being laid underground in the direction of Cardiff; three will go direct, and one each to Port T::dbot and Neath, with a sixth to LIan- elly. These are main trunks, and con- sidering e&ch pipe contains hundreds of wires the facilities that will be opened out can be anticipated.
