An Interesting Rescue at Llangranog. This is a group of Norwegian sailors whose steamer was torpedoed on Decem- ber 14th. The crew, eighteen in number, took to two boats. One of the boats came to grief on leaving the steamer and its occupants had to get into the ether. They decided to make for the Welsh coast as a westerly gale was blowing. At the break of day on 15th December they found themselves close to the rock point called Garreg Pica, near Llangranog and would have found themselves, it being high water, dashed against the rockiest part of the coast. Amid the leavy sea they did not distinguish the narrow c. ver of I lan- granog. But the inhabitants saw tI, d signalled to them. The boat, which had lost its sail, was rowed shorewards The effing is shallow and the boat before landing vould run to ground. Brave men went into the v ater, shoulder high, and managed to steady the boat stern seawards, otherwise the boat would have turned broadside, and the men, v. ho ere ex- hausted, would probably have lost their liveg in the breakers. Ropes were rut out aid the boat and crew were pulled iip <n to tie teach. One of the men, Karl Danvig Andersen aged twenty-eight years, had died of exhaustion during the morning. They had teen in the boat eighteen hours and had come fifty-five miles from where their ? (earner smk. The remains of the dead sailor were interred in St. David's Burial Place, after an inquest by Dr. T. J. Jenkin's. The people of Llangranog showed the utmost kindness to the crew. All houses were thrown open. Fires were lit in I parlours and bedrooms. Everything for com- fort and luxury were pooled for. the benefit of the rescued men. The total crew numbered I eighteen. One was killed in leaving the sink- ing steamer, one died in the boat, a third was laid up when the photograph was taken by Mr. Squils of Cardigan, to whom we are in- debted for leave ta publish the'photograph.

Comforts for Fighters. I WEAKNESS OF RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION. Appended are a few extracts from letters re- ceived by K.S.M. Fear trom Aber. men serv- ing abroad, in acknowledgment of parcels:- Seaman D. Lewis, R.N .-1 am iiiankful to you and all Aber. friends for still keeping us in your minds. I was pleased to see the account of the Y.M.C.A. in the Cambrian News." My wish is that it will be prosper- ous. We are anxious that this terrible war shall be over, but God's time has not come yet to stop it. I believe He will before long and will give us a new world. Sapper B. L. Williams, Salonika—Thanks for littie card enclosed which gives one words of comfort. Mr. Winter has come with a vengeance. I am so pleased to hear the Y.M.C.A. ha-s started well. May God give you strength to continue with the splendid work you are doing on our behalf. I read in the "Cambrian News" of the great sacrifice dear old Aber. is making. Pte. J. Sparks, France.—I get the Cam- brian News" every week and am following the boys' column closely. I see plenty of names I know, but it has not been my luck to meet any of the Aber. boys since I have been here, .over two years. I shall be pleased to become a member of the Y.M.C.A. It jis doing splendid work here. The first thing the boys look for when on the march is the Y.M. Pte. A. Davies, Italy.—The parcel came as

Private WILLIAM MORGAN, A.S.C., I In France from nearly the commencement of I the war. I a God-send as my mates and I were practically I without a tmoke. We cannot get Blighty fags here at any price, so you can guess how they are welcomed. As you see I am on another front now. I Pte. E. Benson, France.—Your great work for Aber. boys will never be forgotten. "Tj> Y.M.C.A. will certainly flourish at Abe: because the boys have found it a real friend out here. Rifleman Cecil Fear, France.—I had just re- tutnod to camp covered with mud to find the cigs which were greatly appreciated. Looking through the "Cambrian News" I see tha. your fund has exceeded £ 1,000. It is a fine achievement and ail honour is due to the people of Aberystwyth. We had a very happy Christmas in the circumstances and a grand dinner. I trust that this time next-year will find us back with the dear folks at home. Rifleman J. H. Davies, France.—I have often read of the Aber. boys writing in acknowledg- ment of parcels, but little did I think that I should be one of the lucky ones. I shall be pleased to become a member of the Y.M.C.A. I know the full value of such places here. I hope i- will prove a success at Aber. We all had great hopes of the war finishing by Christ- mas bVit we must carry on until victory brings us peace. I shall always keep your little cards with their comforting words, Pte. T. Glynne Thomas, Fran&How de- lighted we boys are to know that we have such fnends at our dear homes who wish us well and are praying for our safety. After having been home on leave I find it difficult to settle down again. We. < all look forward and hope that the time is not far off when we may return for good. Gunner T. H. Cheshire, France.—There is a great difference between 4he !> hty cigs and what we buy out here. As long as the boys get a smoke they seem to be quite happy. I shall be pleased to become a member of the Y.M.C.A. at Aberystwyth. I am pleased to say I am keeping fit. The weather is very severe, but it is better than the wet. I hope to spend the next Christmas in dear old Aber. where my thoughts are. Gunner J. Richards, France.—I was having my Christmas dinner in a dug-out. Our offi- cers had provided us with a pig and some plum puddling to finish up with and the cigs came in time to give a final touch to the luxuries. It makes me feel happy that I have such good friends in Blighty. A war is not very plea- sant for anyone to be in, but still we must do our best while we are at it and there is nothing better to keep up our spirits than the kfhdness of old friends. Pte. M. R. Williams, France.—Being in the line. it is difficult to get cisr*. and yours arrived iust in time. Since I last wrote the battalion has seen rough times. We made an attack on Fritz and gained our objectives. During the time we were in (three tlays) he made five counter-attacks, but was driven back each time. I was nearlv put out. We wre all tying in wait and just a few yards from us a shell burst. Tt killed an officer and wounded three men next to me. Tli-re is a 'hap from Aber. in our lot, Lewis of Penglaise- terrace. Pte.

Evans, France.—I-rViall only lie too pleased to become a member of the Y.M.C.A. I appreciate the kind thoughts of 'I the kmd friends at home. Cadet J. J. Evans, France.—I can assure you the cigs arrived in the right time, the day I before Christmas. I spent a pleasant Christ- mas Day. I hope the Y.M.C.A. is going WIL. a good swing and that the young fellows at home appreciate it. Drummer J. Lewis, France.—You can hardly realise how much the boys appreciate the kindness of the friends at home. I enjoyed my Christmas very much. We finished the day with a cancer. Lance-Gorpl. E. D. Rowlands, France.—The knowledge that we boys are thought of by the people at home is always cheering, especially t this time of year. The Prussian constitution is wearing down. It will snap with a crack that will be the keynote to a sound and real peace. I am glad to hear you are getting on so well with the Y.M.C.A. and 1 hope the day will soon dawn to welcome the boys back to dear old Aber. Acknowledgments have also been received from Seaman M.
