Undoubtedly the most extraordinary

Deliberateness. quality generally
ascribed to the Scots, must reach a
kind Of quintessence among the Shet-
landers. II this story from the Chris

them fairly:
The Rev. James Hamilton, minister
OF the Church Of Scotland, Rodney
street. Liverpool. while on holiday In
Shetland had narrow escape from
drowning. Accompanied by boy Mr..
Hamilton was fishing for sea trout.
when he slipped on a stone, lost his
balance and. being incumbered with
heavy wading boots. had great Difficult
ty in keeping his head above water.
Finally he managed to get back to
the shore, although in very exhaust

help me-"
