"John Martin, a child five years of age, was bathing with other boys
much older than himself, when he was carried out of his depth and they
could render him no assistance. Miss Macaulay went to the rescue and,
with some difficulty, got the boy safely out. She received the Vellum
Testimonial from the Society."

FRANK LINES.

"Frank Lines, a little boy aged eight, saved James Cochrane on the 28th
December, 1891, in Broadwater, Brocket Park, Hatfield. Cochrane ran
after a ball on the ice, and when forty-five yards from the bank the ice
broke. He managed, however, to cling to the edge for some time. The
other boys who were present ran away, but Frank Lines crawled to the
hole, and with the aid of a stick got Cochrane out. The ice again gave
way and Cochrane fell in once more; but still his little rescuer made
another attempt, and finally saved him."

"PRINCE."

[Illustration: "PRINCE."

_From a Photo. by C. Malfait, Dunkirk._]

"DEAR SIR,--I enclose, with pleasure, the photo. of my dog 'Prince.' I
need hardly say how proud I feel to think that it will be inserted in
the well-known STRAND MAGAZINE. I am sorry that I could not send it
before; but, as I had to have his photo. taken, I have been forced to
wait. 'Prince' is a thoroughbred (absolutely pure) black retriever, and
is nearly three years old. His photo. is taken in the act of 'Toeing the
line,' a trick that I have taught him. He retrieves perfectly, and is a
remarkably rapid swimmer. Three weeks ago he jumped from a height of 30
ft., with 14 ft. to clear, into one of the dry docks, which had about 6
ft. to 8 ft. of water in it. In saving the lives of the men he was of
great assistance to me by diving under the water and lifting the feet of
the second officer out of the quicksand. Throughout the whole affair he
displayed great intelligence. I forgot to mention that the collar he is
wearing was presented by the brother of the captain who, unfortunately,
was drowned; and on the plate are engraved these words: 'Presented to
"Prince" for his gallant behaviour, October 22nd, 1892, by J. J. W.'

"Yours truly,

"FRANK DAVID PENGELLY."
