BRAVE ACT.

REWARD FOR SAVING

· SHIPMATE'S LIFE.

SWANSEA PRESENTATION.

A story of a sailor's splendid bravery in saving a shipmate's life was told at the Swansea Docka Exchange, when the Mayor of Swansea (Councillor E. W. Howells), on behalf of Bri- tish Tankers, Ltd., presented a nitver, watch and chain and a cheque for £20 to 'Able Seaman F. Preece, of Swansea, for saving the life of A. T. Morgan.

THE CHINA MAIL,

Mr. Wilfred Thomas (president of the Swansea Chamber of Com- merce) presided over the core mony, and Puymaster Lieut.-Com- mander W. L. Owen, of the Board of Trade, Swansea, explained | that Preece and Morgan were sea- men on board the tanker "British Lord," now in port at Swansen, and, on November 14, Morgan was painting down the fore top mast stay when he was seen fall.

ing from a height of from 45 to

50 feet: Preece rushed forward

and, breaking his fall, caught him in his arms, just as he reached the deck. Morgan suffered from severe bruise and shock, but was able to resume duty in a couple of days, and Preece, who was also affected by shock, soon recovered, His plucky act undoubtedly stood unique in the annals of the Mer cantile Marine.
