November of last year, of the rescue of twelve
men from the wreck of the Waterwitcb, at
Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, through the heroic
efforts of Alfred Moores, fisher man. and a num-

winter night, and in the midst of o snow
storm, Alfred Moores permitted himself to be
swung, at the end of o rope, over a preci pice
600 feet high, at the bottom of which were
twelve shipwrecked men clinging to the rock,
reached them with a rope, and one BY Que ali
were drawn up and saved. Our late Governor
Sir s. Hill, forwarded a statement of the gal

the imperial authorities, and the result was
that the Royal Humane Society have sent out
. silver medal for Moores, and bronze medal
for each of his companions. Lady Glover very
kindly presented these medals few days ago
to the brave men, at a meeting specially called
