BRAVERY REWARDED.
LONDON, December 11
Lloyd's Committee has conferred medals upon Chief Officer Rankin and six of the boat's crew belonging to the steamer Orient for bravery in relieving the brig Phyllis off Wilson's Promonotory, on the Australian Coast, in December last. The Orient fell in with the Phyllis, which was short of provisions, and lowered a boat under the command of Rankin. After a great struggle with a mountainous sea they succeeded in provisioning the brig.
