ROC ug OP • YOUPTO Ge...srt.liiTsTi7lAt nine a.m. en tha
10th, a young gentleman about 15 years old, an excur-
sionist on a fortnight's outing from Birmingham hired a
boat ft oni Davis the watemian, and proceeded t" poll out-
side the fort. The w ind was very high at the time, sod
blew hno off the land. The young gentleinitn then tried
to yoifl Portland o , hot could not make the least pro ~,,.
mv.
By this titne he was I.l.iii n some great distance off the laud,
and tin ding his efforts iii vain he rowed the bust round,
at the same time losing one of his oars. Ile then left the
boat to the merry of the waves, and being over fatigued
laid loon in the bottom, and fell off to sleep furs
silerable time. At last he was awakened by the sea wash-
ing over hint ; he then :tot up and with one ..ar tried to
I paddle his frail craft towards the shore. At about one
be was seen by the Coadxmard at Osinington Coast-
guard station to be fast driving on the rocks towards
Hound Head, a very dangerous part of the coast, The
chief boatman in ekatitUall.l of the station at once turned
out all his men, and proceeded to a pile of rucks, where
the boat was drifting on. with life-lines and belts, and
when she mine into the breakers succeeded in saving the
young gentleman's life and also the boat, which they
placed up in safety. Mr. Wardsle and two other gentle-
men were on the spot, and rendered valuable assistance,
and slim gave some brandy to the young man who
was very wet and much fatigued. He WaS then taken to
the Coastguard station, supplied with dry clothes, and
received every attention and kindness. Much praise is
due to Mr. Bowden and his men for their exertions and
the humane kindness they showed. It appears the young
ivan was a Mr. Nason on his holiday excursion from Bir-
mingham, none of his family being here hut himself. lie
was very near losing his life. If the boat had gone clear
of Whiten.... Heat he would have gone to sea, and pro-
bably never further been heard of. Alter being rescued
and zctting dry clothes lie ouite recovered, and walked
into Weymouth in company of Mr. Watty, chief officer at
Weymouth.
