1 GALLANT RESCUE OF TWO YOUNG LADIES
DEATIT FROM FLIGHT.—A.n incident well worth recording
occurred at Penzance on Tuesday. Miss Quick and Miss
Cock, two young ladies, were bathing opposite the Western.
Esplanade about half-past 10 o'clock, when persons walking
near were alarmed by screams for help proceeding from the
hapless bathers, who, it was seen were being rapidly car-
ried out to sea by the tidal current. Moments were pre-
cious, but no one seemed ready to give the needed assist-
ance. Mr. Drew, a tradesman living near, seeing people
running towards the beach, left his shop, and on arrival
at the water's edge saw that the young ladies were in the
utmost danger, being already 40 feet away from the shore.
Instantly, without removing any part of his dress, he
plunged into the water, and struck out for the now sinking
bathers. Robert Stevens, a keeper of the bathing machines
for the bath proprietor, Mr. Norton, followed Mr. Drew's
example, he also having his clothes on, and an exciting
scene occurred. Stevens reached one of the young ladies,
and stretched out his hand to grasp her, but missing his
aim, became frightened, and returned on shore. Drew
meanwhile had reached the youngest lady furthest out, Miss
Cock, and was bringing her in, when he saw that Stevens
had gone ashore, and that Miss Quick had sunk several
times, and would almost immediately be drowned. Leaving
his first charge for a time, Drew reached Miss Quick, and
swam whore with her, when elm was received by those on
the beach, and carried off to the baths. Without an in-
instant's delay, Drew, exhausted as he was with previous
exertion, pushed out again and caught Miss Cock,whe with
a death grip clasped him round the neck, and they both dis-
appeared. A shudder ran through the spectators, who whis-
pered one to the other, " Poor things, they are both gone."
Soon, however, they rose again, and with a final effort Drew
towed his charge to the beach. The young ladies, the first
rescued of whom was quite insensible,were at once carefully
tended, and a warm bath, brandy, and tea being adminis-
tered, they reviv ed, and they are now nearly recovered. The
gallant fellow who had thus saved two lives refused the
warm bath that was proffered to him ; but one of his
hands was quite dead for two hours afterwards, and he
did not wholly get over the effects of his exertions that
day. Connected with this exciting incident was anotf,i-
in which, unhappily, death was occasioned. Maria IS 11-
Hales, a healthy, middle-aged woman, who kept bouse for
her brother-in.law, Mr. Houlson, of the Bath. Inn., was
passing while the young ladies were being carned, insen-
sible, into Mr. Norton's, and was immediately seized with
illness, and died within an hour, although attended by Mr.
Quick, surgeon, before death. It is supposed
.that the
fright produced a fit of apoplexy—Western OiOrtitng New
