And Saved Ten Men
THE award of two Royal Humane Society bronze medals has revealed a story of two young swimmers fighting rough seas for 300 yards in the dark to rescue ten shipwrecked men.
The medals are to be presented to Roy Wright, 17-year-old son of Dr. J. Mars- hall. Wright, of Bournemouth, and William Salter, also aged 17, son of Colonel Salter, of Attleborough, Norfolk, who were at school at Bacton, Norfolk, last October when a drifter, the Vera Creina, of Lowestoft, was wrecked nearby,
A gule was blowing and the rocket brigade tried in vain to fire lines across the vessel.

Dreading Presentation
Then the two boys, unknown anyone, slipped into the wator with their clothes on and swam 300 yards with waves breaking over them to the' drifter.
They picked up a buoy and line thrown by the skipper and swam back to shore. Soon all the suitor were saved by breeches 'buoy.
The boys did not tell any of their friends about the rescue,
Dr. Marshall Wright said that he had been unable to get any detalls from his son.
"Too Much Fuss"
Roy Wright stated: "I think there is a lot too much fuss being madei about what we did.
"The ordeal that we will have to face when being presented with the medals will be greater than the one we had to go through when earning them.

A Primate's Son Wrote Daring Novel
MR. EDWARD FREDERIC BENSON, the author, has died in University College Hospital. He was 72.
Youngest son of a former Arch- bishop of Canterbury, Mr. Benson stepped straight to success with his first novel "Dodo," published in 1893.
Most of this book was written at: the age of 20, when he was an under- graduate at Cambridge. It was left unfinished for two years, when he took it up again.
Daring
Its success was partly due to the fact that it was considered daring for those days. Dodo smoked and said "Damn."
The Archbishop's son then oban- doned a career as an archaeologist to, continue as a novelist.

However, he soon had more solid success with The Challoners" in 1904.
