Mr A Partridge Kingcombe, MRCS, writes from Towcester Sep 29, "By way of a comment on the verdict of a jury at Kingstown and their censure of Lord Revelstoke, permit me gratefully to recall that my nephew and I, after being immersed for 2 hours off Plymouth, were saved in the evening of last Monday week from a then quite certain death, by the kind promptitude of his lordship, who instantly, on being informed of our situation, rushed his steamer at high pressure several miles to our rescue. Our preservation was, under God, entirely due to that kind haste"
