bad returned to shore with the 21 poor fellows saved from
the ship Oasis, of Liverpool, wrecked on the rocks at
Newton-head, intelligence wee brought that a man
was still in the fore-top of the %easel. The
boat was again gallantly launched without delay,
and on reaching the wreck the foremud was
found to be still standing, although the main
and 'Mien-masts had dissppeared. The ship was then
grappled, and a volunteer, Martin North, of the Naval
Reserve, climbed up to the vessel by the jib downhaul,
which wax still hanging where the other shipwrecked
men bad descended by it into the lifeboat. The poor
sailor, who was a foreigner, was then discovered, and was
able to crawl down the rigging, but became frightened, on
reaching the bowsprit, so he was lowered into the water,
and then hauled into the lifeboat. This service of going
on board and lowering the poor fellow was one of much
personal danger, for the chain tack of the foresail was
beating about like a whiplash, and it was with joy we saw
both men get clear of it untouched. The both did all that
a lifeboat could do, and we found the great value of the
' drogue in getting into the rollers near the beach. The six
men who left in the ship's boat are still missing.

Mr. Norm IGE went on to remark that preference

them to pay up 301. per 1031. He then complained
that the chairman and hia colleagues liasl, in violation of •
promise peen at the last meeting, used their influence to
prevent his own election as a director.
Dr. Ilearric asked whether Mr. Nottidge disputed Mr.
Walker's election as a director.
Mr. NOTTIMIN said not only did be dispute it but it
had been declared by some of the highest legal authorities
to be null and void.
