NG of the PILOT COMMITTEE, held
following letter was read:—
[embers of the Pilots' Committee:

"he exemplary conduct displayed by a few
!e :late severe gale, and the successful
to rescue some of the Pilots from a situa-

..Al, on Friday last, when their boat was cast
aore, ought to be made known to your Cum-

Mt!Axil.
"Mr. Sumner, the village surgeon, was indefatigable in his
benevolent exertions; he promptly procured a bottle of spirits,
which he attached to his neck, and, when the tide had partially
receded, finding that no boat could still approach the distressed
Pilots, he cast off his clothes, and boldly committed himself to
the waves, and by perseverance he reached the Pilot vessel,
where he found some of the crew nearly exhausted; he admi-
nistered the cordial with judgment, and afterwards he assisted
in bringing the poor sufferers on shore; when they were safely
landed, his skill was exerted to the uttermost to revive and
cherish them. This is not the first instance in which he has
hazarded his` personal safety to preserve the lives of shipwrecked
mariners. As a token of your approbation, and an encourage-
ment to others to imitate his praiseworthy example, a beneficial
memorial might deservedly be bestowed on this humane charac-
ter, who is the parent and sole supporter of a numerous family.
"A few persons of an humbler class of life deserve their meed
of praise and reward for laudable exertions. One man, named
Wm. Formby, rescued two sinking Pilots from a watery grave,
whilst the tide drifted them in an almost lifeless state; Sand
Robert Kershaw succeeded in saving the life of a third, Who,
from complete exhaustion, was unable to raise himself from the
waves and surf, when by long continued efforts he had nearly
gained the beach.-1 am, gentlemen, your obedient rvant,
"Dec. 2, 1833. "MILES ORMBY."
It was resolved,—That the warm thanks of thl ommittee be
conveyed to Mr. Sumner for the distinguished ert he evinced
in saving the lives of eight Pilots from the wretk of No.l Pilot-
boat on the 29th of November, 1833, and that the Public be
recommended to join in the subscription, to'bear some substan-
tial mark of approbation to this worthy gentleman, for his cou-
rage and humanity in this and other instances of his successful
efforts on similar occasions of imminent danger.
"SIR,—In communicating to you the above resolution, allow
me to express my individual admiration of your truly heroic and
humane conduct on the melancholy occasion referred to, and I
beg to assure you that I feel great pleasure in subscribing my-
self, with every sincere wish for your happiness,
"Your most obedient servant,
"D. ROWLAND, Assistant Secretary.
"To Mr. John Sumner, Surgeon, Formby."
