Considerable consternation prevailed among visitors oil Aberavon Beach on Fri- day afternoon as the result of a lady bather getting into difficulties. The lady was Miss Molly O'Brian, who has been playing in The Cingalee," which is being performed at Port Talbot this week. Whilst bathing with Miss Cissie Roy, another member of the com- pany, and who was. recently rescued from the torpedoed Allan liner Arabic. she went out into considerable depth (,f water, and found herself in difficulties. Miss Roy gallantly went to her assist- ance. and exercised every endeavour to get her to safety. Fortunately, the incident occurred in close proximity to the Jersey Beach Hotel, where Mr. Leo- Talbot, of Glouces- ter, was transacting business. Observing the plight of the, ladies, he immediately rushed down to the water's edge and. without divesting himself of. any of his clothing, went to the rescue and suc- ceeded in bringing Miss O'Brian ashore in an unconscious condition. Miss Roy was also much exhausted when she reached the shore.
