NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWN ING.

ON Friday afternoon last a party of boys, ranging from the ages of 12! to 16, were bathing" in the vicinity of Shelly Beach when one of the number, a young lad of 14 years, ventured beyond his depth, and to the consternation of his companions drifted tapidly out to sea. Instead of running for help or rendering the unfortunate lad any assistance, they stood gazing at his fast receding figure. But succour was at hand, for coming along the beach was a young man named Murdoch McGregor, who, on seeing the state of affairs, speedily divested himself of his coat -and' boots, sprang m, struck out boldly for the drowning boy, and brought him safely back to terra fiirma, both being very much exhausted. We may mention that the young hero is a sou of Captain K. McGregor, of Whangarei Heads, and that too much praise for nis gallant act can not be given to him.
