But remember to be careful.'' Hardly was the farewell said when tho discharged man was carried in again, and water was dripping from his clothes as they bore him to bed. The nurses wanted to know if Mr Morris had fainted and overbalanced into the canal? No, they were told, he had dived in to save a drowning boy and had collapsed after the rescue!
