DARING INTREPIDITY.—An instance of courageous
intrepidity, by which the life of a fellow-crvatute was
saved, was displayed on Friday last by Mr. William
Poole, second mate of the steam-ship Phoenix. It ap-
pears that Mr. Thomas Benyon, of Spi man st t, Car-
marthen, was a passenger on board toe Phoenix iron)
Bristol, and upon the arrival of the vessel at Tenby he
accidentally fell overboard into the sea between the
steamer and the pier. Quick as thought Poole I.,a.ped
in after him, but did not succeed in reaching him until
he was in imminent danger, having sunk three times,
and being completely exhausted Poole managed to
seise him by his collar, and thon held on to a chain cable
until a boat was sent to his assistance, when both were
relieved from their perilous situation. This is, we
understand, the ninth individual that Poole has rescued
from a watery grave, and it would but be rewarding
true courage and determined if'
pilantry, the Rosa!!
Humane Society awarded bite a medal in honour of his
philanthropic achievements.— Welshman.
THE LATE GALES.—On Tuesday forenoon it corn-
menced to blow very freshly from the west ward, and to-
wards the afternoon increased to a hurricare. The usual
decapitation of chimnies, the unroofing Of slates and
tiles, and consequent danger to street pas,engt rs, was as
great as has been witnessed in the city for a long time.
Many persons were thrown down by the violence of the
gale, and some very narrow escapes made daritig its
continuance. In Leith Roads some if the vessels dragged
their anchors a considerable distance, and in the dock
the mast of a Greenock trader snapped close by the deck,
and went over alongside. One of the steam tugs, em-
ployed in towing out the boats used in cleaning the har-
bour was unable to make Leith Pier again, and had to
run for it before the wind. It is understood the crew
found safety in One of the harbours on the Fite cost,
It is earnestly to be hopeti unit th:2 eif,:ets of tho gait, utl
sea will not prove to be of a disastrous description.—
