to

you were instrumental in saving. the life of an officer under most hazardans rircumstances. By your gallant action in risking your life to save naother, you have must aubly upheld the best traditions of that veryine branch of His Majesty's Navy, the submisrine futilla. On behalf of the com-; munity and His Majesty's Govern- ment I thank you.

Heroic Deeds. Captain Donohue, during the typhoon, organised a Rocket Bri- gado and endeavoured to reach eome of the battered" craft which were floating past. by linee thrown from rockets. Later he decided to: lower a boat, which was moned by the Chief Officer, Third Officër, Cadet Bood Buggins and four Chinese sailors. The boot remained in the water for 5 hours and suc- creded in rescuing three lives,

It will be remembered that A. B. Trengus awam with a line from the Ginyo Maru to Lieut. T. H. Dickeon, who jumped into the sea wben reserve submarine L:9 was sinking sod succeeded in clinging to a buoy. Despite the heavy sear A. B. Tragus got to the buy and brought the officer safely asbore. It la interesting to recall that Treagus frined one of the crew of the lifeboats that put off from H.M.S Carlisle at the time of the disaster to the s.e. Hong Mah.

It is understood that the names] of the officers concerned have been forwarded to the Board of Trade | for suitable recognition and cast the Chinese sailors have been re- commended by the Harbour Master for the Relilios Medal · and... al gratuity,

The officers and crews of other vesela, now absent from port, behaved in a similarly gallant man. ner and their cases will be dealt with as soon as opportunity offers.

TOO MANY WOMEN. The question, canvassed at the Angio-Catholic Congress, why so many more women than men attend church is, no new one, Sydney Amith once made it the subject of a sermon in one of our cathedrals,With a significant glance over a congregation com- posed three-fourths of women, he announced, as his text, with biting emphasie, "Oh that men would praise the Lord."

Revenus Officers and others.

A daring mountain feat has been accomplished by a detach- ment of the Royal Field Artillery in training at Trawsfynydd camp, Merionethshire. Twenty five of them on horseback rode some miles among mountains until they came upon the old road to Traw. sfynydd, which has a narrow passage known as the Pass of this pass is made by a thousand Ardudwy. Ascent or descent of curious steps known to visitors as the Roman Steps. The daring artillerymed succeeded in getting all thoir borses down the passage and the steps into the open road. It was a feat that had never be- fore been accomplished.
