A thrilling experience was under- gone by several Dolgarrog villagers,
One of the most remarkable' escapes was that of a man and his family who lived in a wooden bungalow.
The man was going home from work when he heard the on-rushing water and just managed to get his wife and child into safety when the flood struck the bungalow which was carried seventy yards and ther. tarned a complete somersault,

The little daughter was torn from the man's grasp and drowned. The father was stunned by a stone, and on recovering climbed up the electric standard, to escape the flood.
Many casualties were avoided in consequence of the large atten- dance at the local cinema, where
a new film was being shown when the dam burst. The cinen had its own lighting equipment.
An earlier report that a woman and her nine children were drown- ed turns out to be incorrect as five
of the children were subsequently
found among the refugees.

This exclusive ploture shows the lost British submarine M. 1 as she appeared when running of the surface of the sas. The M. 1 belonged to the sub- marine-monitor class. She was launched in 1918 for the protection of trade routes. The big gun carried by vessels of this class created something of a pensation when the M. 1 first appeared in the English Channel. Two others were built, the M. 2 and M. S, the last being completed late in 1919.
