Looking attern. the master saw the periscope and conning-tower üf a submarine, dead in the wake of the ship, about a mile distant. -The Cottingham kept on her course. A second shell went over, j and the submarine began to overhaul tlw ship very rapidly, coming up on the star- board quarter. A signal was now seen fly- ing u;i the submarine. "Abandon shro and u third sbeli struck the Otthigham on the starboard bow. The engines were stopped, and all handsj were called to the boats, which were promptly lowered. There were six men ill the master's boat and ss'ven men in that of the chief officer. This was kil-out 4.30 p. ni. T\e boats pulled away clear, while the shell- ing continued. There were ten or twelve shells firid. Darkness was coming on and the ship was not seen to sink. The master s boat went away before the wind and sea. steering north-east. Signals by red lights were made to t'ne other boat, which replied to two signals, but did not answer the third. The bor.tr, lost touch with eacii other about six o'clock.

This will be a great boon, as for several years now only persons possessing family graves were able to be interred there, owing to no vacant plot"; being available. Thi.* (Monday ) evening, at six o'clock, the Rev. H. J..Stewart, B.A., will hold a eer- at Vivian-road Shrine to the memory of William Horace C harles, of the locality, killed in France. Householders here are indignant with the Swansea Gas Company for announcing their intention to increase the price of gas—parti- cularly thOfP. who have penny in the slot meters—alter two rises since the outbreak of war. a u d considering that at all time* the price of -,a'- here has been reputed to be higher than in motd towns. They maintain that, in view of the valuable bye-products got from the coal by the gas company, a re- duction rather than all increase should be | contemplated, and Sketty Ratepayers' .Asro- riation has promised to enter a protest at their meeting on their behalf.

Agriculture in relation t<> Welsh educa- tion was the subject of discussion at a. meet- ing of the Glamorgan ( liamber of Agricul- ture held at Cardiff 0:1 Saturday, under the presidency of Mr. W. Emerson. The Secretary (Mr. Hubert Alev.nder) read the report of the sub-committee ap- pointed rt the lH:'ê meeting, in which they l-ecommended the ham ber to .my.port the scheme outlined to the Royal Commission by the Cardiff University College, and to be submitted io the County Co-.inoi:. in prefer- ence to the suggest ion contained in the reso- lution and amendment submitted to the members on November 23th. Tt was also suggested that application le made to the Commission to give evidence before them. The adoption of the report was prupo-ed by the Chairman and seconded by Mr. W. The Chairman expressed 1 himsflt a1; I strongly in favour of any scientific oduca. tion within the radius of their own area for the young men who were growing np. and for the benefit of agriculture in the future, Mr. W. Laugharne Morgan (Swan*ea). in suportiirg the proposition, said that by fol- lowing out the recommendations of thp com- mitter he believed they were making the shortest cut to get the requisite knowledge distributed more .locally, and w:th more cer- tainty than ever before. Mr. Godfrey Lipscomb (Margam) said every farmer might make great mistakes through want of technical knowledge, and if a farmer could take his podnt to a place in his neighbourhood lie could have it de >!t with, and that might mean a saving of hun- dreds of pounds. Technical education and research work had been neglected., ar.d he. therefore, supported the proposition. The resolution was carried, and the chair- man. Colonel Homfray. of Peulline. and Mr. W.
