LOVER OF GRACE DARLING
Jimmy Giles Of Ipswich, Eng, Once
Courted Famous Life-Save~But
She "Wouldn't Leave Daddy"

Jimmy Giles of Ipswich, Eng, who
for nearly 90 years was dock gate.
man and assistant engineer, is a link
with the past, inasmuch as he was tho
sweetheart of Grace Darling.
Listen to the following conversation
with the old seaman and live over
again the memories of that brave ex'
plot near Longstone Lighthouse that
made immortal history:
when young man l took cargo
of salt from Ipswich to Sunderland,
While there I left my brig and was
made coXsWain of a cOble that sup
piled Longstone Lighthouse with pro.
visions.
"This was in 1889, and as Grace'a
great deed took place the previous
year was anxious to meet the famous
girl. On my first trip in the coble I
saw her standing at the lighthouse
door, but, although tried to drew her
attention, she got behind the door.
'The next time I visited the light
house l took a silk handkerchief full
of grapes and gave the lot to Grace
when I saw her. She thanked me,
and we got on we'll.
Grace was not handsome, but she
was passable, with dark eyes and hair,
and face bronzed by the sea air, and
conveying a sense of purity and inno-
cence that have never beheld In any
other
"She wore very short skirts and a
dark blue Scotch cap, which suited
her we'll. She was as good as any
sailor, and could set sail or pull an
oar with the best Of them.
"Her father, an old man, nigh TO-,
was a very old-fashioned man, and al.
ways wore drab knee-breeches and
buckled shoes, with sparrOw-tail
coat, big waistcoat, and round skull
cap trimmed with fur. He didn't think
much Of my carryings-on with her
"She showed me her presents, in
Guiding gold slipped in scarlet mo-
rocco case, which the Car Of Russia
sent her. She was often asked to go
to London but she wouldn't leave
Daddy And. although l became her
sweetheart, that was the reason she
gave me for not marrying, and so we
drifted apart" -Stray Stories.
