THE "FAWN" IN TROUBLE. RESCUING 50 PASSENGERS EXCIV- ING SCENE AT RIIYL. When the Rhyl and Vale of Cwyd Ste, m- sbip Co's stenner" Fnwn left Hbvl v Monday morning,'for Liverpool, with a' ot 50 passengers on bo «rd, the indicati'Lis of « pale gnch as thnt v»hici; took pia, o in the eTeDirg wtre vpry remote iu'iet-t-f, i: d thuLgL a somewhat stiff breeze prevai:ed the onivra-> d ourney was rot characterised by any jv- semblance of rough or nofavoarab e wedber. Bnt as the day wore on the wind increased and by ten o'clock it bad developed into a a st? eig gale. he "Fawn'' was tiwe-i to leave Liverpool Landing Stawe Ibr the return trip at 6.30, and «t th ir time, thongh there was a stiff wind blowing S.S. W. there appeared ro eleirient likely to interfere with the safe passage of the steamer to Rhyl. The Superintendent of the Landing Staize, however thought it necessary to inform Capt Griffiths, who is in command of the Fawo," during the ilinees of Capt Williams, that a gaio was repented from Holyhead. Hut oe the wir d was blowing off the land, the Captain though he might with perfect safety ventnre the journey, and with a complement of 50 passengers, which included the wife and family of the Vicar of JUbyi, and a Clergy- man and his wife, staying at Pensarn, the Fawn" left the landing stage. Soon after passing New B'ightcn the boat commeuced o feel the full force of the gale and by fciie ime the Kiver Dee was entered it had in- creased to alcLGst a hurricace, hefivy sets continuously breaking over the vessel. The passengers were in a great state of alarm ard the reassuring statements of the Captoin aDd others had nt little effect in appeasing them. The boat roiled and rocked, in an alarming manner, but otherwise behaveri itself splen- didly. Phyl Pier was passed about ten o'clock, and the Fawn made direct for the river. Having reached the month of it. she was observed to stop, and presently to burn bine lights. Those who were watching her from the shore, cculd not well unde scar:d what was the matter with her, as she appeared to fce right in the direct course of the riy r, and to ail appearances there waa nothing to prevent her free passage. The ? i,ht was pitch daik, snd lights were plsced ou the leadicg perches of the river, to more clear y define the course. Still the Fawn did nut move from her position. That she was not on a bank wa* bvtd. nt, because from the bine lights wb!cb were being- continuously burnt, she could be distinctly seen rocking atvi rolling io a somewhat heavy sea. Presently I it became evident that the boat was in a must precarious position, and from the illumination afforded by the cdao lights, the waves could be seen washing against her with considerable force. It would appear, that whilst making for the river, the "Fawn," owing to the intense darkness of the night, the high wind, and the heavy sea, missed her course and was almost stranded on the ''Pebble Bark." The Captain, however, with admirable tact, avoided this catastrophe, and succeeded in directing the boot to her proper oarse but in doing so she went to near the Guter buoy, the chain of which became entangled in the propeller. All efforts o remove the encum- berance proved futile, and the boat became helpless on a most open and dangerous part of the coast. The excitement among the passengers a great proportion ot whom were women and children now I-ecame terrible. Prayers were offered and hymns sung, whilst as many lifebelts ns were available were secured around somo of the women and child- ren. It was now drawing close upon mid- night, and realising that it was impossible to enter the h^fhour that night, rockets were sent up, summoning assistance, and the steamer's whistle was blown loudly and re- peatedly. Some time elapsed before these signals appeared to be understood, bat ulti- mately those on bosrd the steamer were apprised that assistance wss forthcoming by the blowing of the whist'e of the steamer Hercu:es n laying at the Foryd. The whistling of the two steamers sounded strange and hideous in the stillness of the night, and effectually disturbed the repose of those who had retired to rest. The small crowd that bad watched tbo ''Fawn" from the commencement was being momentarily aug- mented and when the lifeboat's rockets were fired a few minutes before midnight, an im- mense concourse of people waii attracted to the shore, the Promenade being thickly lined with a surging crowd of exc fed men and Women. The fact that the steamer, with those on hoird were rot j'n immediate danger was not realised by the crowd, many of whom had not witnessed such a scene before, and not a few of them expected every moment to Bee or hear that evtryone of those on boa-d had been lost. In a remarkable short time after the firing of the guns, the lifeboat could be descerned by the light she carried making np the river at great speed. A heatty cheer was sent forth from thousands of throats as the boat was seen struggling to get at the distressed ship. Wbilst in the middle of the river a rocket was fired from the lifeboat, and ^as the green lights burst overhead in the 'darkness of the night, a scene of much grandeur was presented. Owing to the breakers, it was some time befere the lifeboat could be got alongside, and when it ultimate- ly did so the cheers of those on board could be distinctly heard by the people on shore. Shortly after this cheer a rocket was sent np to apprise the excited spectators of the safety of a portion of the passengers, The boat was rowed right ou to the shoi e, aLd hundreds of men went through the seething surf to carry the rescued, ashore. Three times the lifeboat went to the Fawn," each time having to en- counter a heavy sea, and at la.t succeeded in bringing the whole of the passengers—47 in cumver—safety to terra firma, accomplishing this within < n hour of the firing of the gut s. The pdfcsei gers, almost without exceptio Wire in a must exhausted condition, and were ptofuce ?n the.r thanks to the lihyl lifeboat ciew for rtBcuii-^ them hem so peril us aod terrible a portion, by the next ti e t'll, I- Fawn" was able to euier the FOfJd, and to resume her advertised runnings. In connection -iltli the launching of the lifeboat au unfounded allegation was made in oue of the evening newspapers on Tuesday. It is ot tted that tue boat owing to the absence of the tali crew. started out with four voluntatis iioui tbe crew of the u Her- cules," but that whilst in the rirer, the re- mainder ot tbe lifeboat crew waR seen, and that the boat lost betlt an hour :n taking them in, and landing the u Hercules" meo. There is absolute y no truth in this statement. When the lifeboat was first manned, it was found it contained too large a crew, and orders were given that all strangers should stand ont, which they at once did and no time whatever was lrst. So far from there" ex- isting any fee ing of indignation in Rhyl against the lilebuat crew, nothing bui un- qua lficd prist: is toIpvkeu of them, and on all hands it is conceded that they rendered J, efficient and humane services on Tuesday morning in a marvellously short space of time,

The jubilee of the Tonic Sol-fa musical system 1, was celebrated at Abe-yitwyth last week, when Mr J. Spencer Ourwen a.tjndi-d and spoke. Mr T. J. Robe-ts, of the Universitv College of Wales, has received a call to the pastorate of the Maohynleth Baptist Chnr-sb. The death is announced of the Rev D. Edwards, of Newport, an ex-Moderator of the Calvinistie Methodist General As-emblv. Hawarden Flower Show had to the held in the National Schoolroom on Wednesday, the marquee erected for the purpose having been blown down. A Flint, P.C. George Eley has been presented with a gold watch and a gold mounted ebony witlking- stick, on his removal from Flint to Peny if ,rdd. The marriage of Mr John Rrherts, well krown to members of tbe Denbighshire County Couacd, as the courteous assi-tant to the Olerk, Mr Ll. Adams, took place at HuddersSeld on Wednesday, the bride being >jiss Clara Broadbent. On Saturday week the foundation sfone of a pier or breakwater was laid at Criccieth by Mrs Waiter Glynn of Liverpool. Amongst the speakers was Air Lloyd George, M.P., who said that all classes of the communiry would derive a benefit from the harbour. At one o'clock a regatta was held, when there were several good contests. A mysterious murder has taken place at the Ivy Green public house, Miinbridge, neat Huddersfield, the victim being a fervaut named Catherine Dennis, 1G, who-e parents live at Flint. The inquest was concluded on Monday, the jury returning a verdict of "Wilful murder" against James Stockwell who was seen in the house shortly before the murder, but has since disappeared. At Denbigh Brewster Sessions on Friday, Supt. Vaughan reported that there ^were Jin the borough one iiceused house for every 150 of the inhabitants, several memorials, from the different religious bodies of the town were read, after whicn the Chairman said there was no specific objection to any of the licenses, and they would grant the whole of them, A sad ease of drowning occured on Monday week at Barmouth, when a boat belonging to Captain Thomas Garnett, containing six vis tors, was swamped iu the Farchynys gap. Four,of the occu- pants swam ashore, and another cluuj to the boat, but the sixth, Air J. T. Wilkinson, 7, Darlington. terrace, Manchester, was drowned. The man who was cliuging to the boat was picked up by Mr Robert Morris. A demonstration to advocate Welsh Desestab- lishment wid be held at N ewcastle-on- Tyne, in connection with the forthcoming meeting of the National Liberal Fedeiation. In response to an invitation, Sir George Trevelyan, M.P., writes to Mr Stuart Rendel, M.P., that he will bave grent p.easure in taking the chair at the meeting. Mr .tuar t Reudel and other Welsh Liberal iAI.P.'s, it is expected, will speak At the inquest on the body of Mary Williams, of Leighton Dean, Herefordshire, who was kilied by the collapse of the canvas roofing of the Eisteddtod pavilion at Swansea. Mr E. Bath, architect, and Mr Clark, the contractor, for the building were examined, and state i¡that the structure was similar to those erected iu previous years for the National Ei-teddfod at Wrexham and Brecon. The jury re- turned a ver ict of Acciueutd death." At Lib- ral headquarters it is believed Mr Glad .-tone wid decdne tne invitation of the Nwrth. Waies Liberal Federation «> open the reiorin Club at v\ rexham in uctober. The exPiemier's decisiou will be ba-e i sojcIv on the advice of Sir Andrew Gark. Mr Gladstone's physician is averse tu tiis taking any part in extra parliamentary utterances at. all this autumn, but his made an exception in iavcur of an address to the National ^Liberal Jtfeder* atioti at Newcastle-on-Tvne. After that oir Andrew Clark advises a sojourn on the Continent, if Mr Gladstone wishes to conserve his strengsh for the general election of next year. Last week Celts in Scotland must have been envy- inO" their Welsh brethren the enthusiasm over the Eisteddfod. During the past year an attempt has been made in the Highlands to start an association with objects somewhat similar DO those of the Welsh Listedifod. Not much success has attended the effort. Notwithstanding that Professor Ma-son, ot Edinburgh, s-tarted the idet, and thit a good nUUlVLr of Celtic scholars have lent their aid to the movement, the people whom it was desired to reach seem littie stirred. During the past years literary activity has been-unknown in the Highlands, and very little encouragement is given to literary as- pirants. Gaelic societies Seem to have been qnite unsuccessful, except in so far as they have collected a great mass of material, which it lequires a finishea liteiapy workman to lick into shape, it is poihaps manificaiit thai bignlanuers weie ho.ding ibtir Land League Conference aud aeuionstiaiion while the Welsh held toeir Eisteudfod. Is there in this difference anything to acco ict for the absence of I literary activity in thj Highlands and the presence of it in Wales ?

LOCAL NOTES AND NOTIONS. [We do not necessarily endorse the opinions of our coiret-pomieut.—Er.] 4 ¡The engagement1 of Mr Edward De Jong by the Khyl Pier and Pavilion Co appears to have given general satisfaction, and the opening concert on the 12th inst is being anxiously looked forward to The wisdom of securing 1 he services of such an eminent musician for a term of three years is to be commended and espeeia !y is the foresight of the Directors in ■prevailing upon Mr De Jong to bring his band over jufct at the time of the Church f.'ongress. when it is most essential Hhyl should put forth its attractions in order to favourably ijnpresS| I heexalted and influential ecclesiastical and by visitors we shall be honoured with this season The organ recitals by Mr Pyne are certain to act audiences and altogether no fear need be entertained as to the impression that will be made upon the minds of. all who come down for Congress week. < Speaking of the Church Congress, it reminds me that an appeal has been made for a volun- tary choir of male and female voices, to sssist. at the Congress meetings and services, and I sincerely hope the wili be hearty, for it will never do for our visitors to go away with the idea that Khyl does not possess good material in the vocal line: The Bishop of St. Asaph is working very hard to make the work- ingmen's meeting a success andjseveral eminent lay speakers are to take part. The accident to the Fawn the other night furnished an instance of the fuss that can be made over trivial things It was a very slight thing that disabled the vessel simply a rope got entangled in the propeller— suggestive of mismanagement by the way—and had it not been so dark this might easily have betn put right, and the subsequent excitement would have been bottled up for a n-ore belittmg occasion I beard several visitors condemn in i ther harsh terms the lifeboat men fer not ng out sooner, but personally I thought they were wonderfully quick from the time they were actually signalled by the coastguard Visitors should remember the crew is composed of hard working men, who reside in various parts of the town. whilst the lifeboat house is situated on the other side of the river close to the toll bridge, and it requires time to get to this spot The men are always ready and will ing to go out as soon as they are signalled, no matter how Jate or how boisterous the weather may be. None will question that the service they rendered on Tuesday morning was deserv- ing of the highest praise, and subscriptions have been raised for a less deserving object than remunerating the Rhyl lifeboat crew for their rescue of the Fawn's passengers. « Mr Tom Wood's engagement on the promen- ade this week has been very popular, and large crowds have assembled to listen and applaud our own comic vocalist. Mr Cohen s band, too, has given us selections from several well' known operas and these have been well ren- dered, and properly appreciated. The begging nuisance on the promenade of an evening continues, and I think it is high time the police took the matter in band. The children actually go about with cans and buckets asking for coppers for the Children 's Hospital.' and numerous other objects, and people are getting quite tired of the thing. If a poor blind man or any other deserving person were to solicit alms the police would soon in- terfere, and I don't see why well dressed children should an¡,oy people in [the way they do. V Mr Harry Ililler,, the well known ventrilo- 1 quist, who regularly endeavours to entertain the visitors with his Punch and Judy. and his other two wooden companions, announces that he holds his annual benefit concert, at the Town Hall, on Tuesday evening, and I feel sure there will be a bumper house, for no one of our en. tertainers is more popular than the Doll Man and Rhyl would not seem the same place without him. Here's luck, Harry, my boy. It does not look as if "the local football enthusiasts are going in for the game this winter for the first meeting called to re-start the Khyl Football Club had to be adjourned in conse quence ot the meagre attendance, and again this week the second meeting has been post- poned for the same reason. As a last resource it has been decided to hold the meeting at the Summer Gardens to morrow (Saturday) after noon at three and afterwards a practice is to take place and it is hoped in this way to get a nood number. The rumour has already spread throughout the northern part of the Principality, ity and even has been heard in Liverpool, that Rhyl is not to have a town club this winter For all that Mr Berrie. the ex-secretary of the Rhyl club was re-elected a member of the coun cil of the Welsh F x>tball Association for the third consecutive time at the annual meeting held at Wrexham, on Tuesday evening, and what is still more significant, he bad a larger number of votes than any of the other candi- dates. This should rouse the slumberers, and make them determined not to allow the old club die a natural death. 811 notice Madame Maria Andersen is to sing at Holywell Eisteddfod on the 16th inst, besides several other well known vocalists. This week MadamegAndersen is fulfilling an engagement at Llandudno pavilion, and may very shortly be heard at Rbyl, along iwith PIiss Eleanor Kees. 'it. The children's special service mission con- ducted by Mr Lewes Sayer has been as popular as ever, and large crowds congregate on the sands to listen to the addresses, and assist in singing the beautiful hymns- The fact of the Missioners all doing the work without pay has had a deal to do with the popularity of the services, which have been made as bright and cheerful as possible. A meeting in support of DrBarnardo'sHomes for waifs and strays is to be held at the Town Hall on the 11th inst. and a party of boys from the Homes will be present and entertain the audience

MR J. HERBERT L E W ISO N FLINTSHIRE MAGISTERIAL APPOINUEETS. Mr J. Herbert Lewis, J.P., Mostyn, in sup- porting the resolution approving of the Nation- al Institutions (Wales), at the conference of Welsh representatives held at Llandrindod, last week spoke of the appointments of magistrates. Reference had been made to him as a Noncon- formist but he was not put on the commission of the peace by the Lord Lieutenant- He believed that gentleman would as soon place Satan there. (Laughter). It was to the people that he owed his position there. In the past the qualifications for the magistracy seemed to have been that a man should be an alien to the country, an alien in language in religion, and sympathy. Now, they had declared that they were not going to have it any longer. (Applause) s to the proposed council, they were told that the Imperial Parliament was staggering under the intolerable burden of work. Then why should not the proposal contained in this Bill be adopted? Then he contended that Wales had a right to a museum established in the Principality, and that at the cost of the Con- solidate,d Fund to an amount equal to that received by Scotland and Ireland. (Applause Scotland had towards its museum and national gallery £ 14 501 per annum. Ireland had a new Scotland had towards its museum and national gallery £ 14 501 per annum. Ireland had a new museum completed last year at a cost of about S200 000. The annual grants to the new museum, library, school of art, botanical gar- dens &c-, were no less than £ 26,556 Now, if Wales had its due proportion they ought to have a capital of some £60,000 or £ 70,000, and an annual grant from the Consolidated Fund of S8000 per annum. (Applause).
