PRESENTATION TO CRP?. FLIIIHEOL—We MT pleased
to hear Capt. Mistier, of the Cygnus steamer, has been
presented with a handsome gold chronometer watch and
chain by the under-writers at Lloyd's, in recognition
of eervioes rendered to the Aquila. It appears two
years ago the Aquila, whilst on her voyage from Wey-
mouth to the Channel Islands, had the misfortune to
break her crank, after having gone a few miles from
Portland. The weather at the time was very r
and the stea.ner was in such a disabled state tharg
was «AM:ogled to make signal. of distress. It
, happened that the Cygnus was crossing the Channel
1 to Weymouth, when observing the signals of distress
she bore down and then found it to be her sister ship,
I she lay by her all night...and at daybreak towed her
into harbour. The wa•ch and chain were presented
last Friday by Mr. Wimble, general manager of the
Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Com-
P 6121.
