NATIVE BOY'S BRAVERY GIVES HIS LIFE TO SAVE A CHILD.
(By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) (Received March 28, 11 a.m.) j SYDNEY, This Day. A survivor from the St. Paul gives 1 * a ! pathetic description of the bravery of j a native boy. When it was found impossible to lower a boat the captain Handed the child to the boy, who heroically attempted to fulfil his trust. Afterwards he was seen in the water, with the child clasped in his arms, battling against the waves. He was then lost sight of, having given his life rather than desert the child. Mrs. Carter's husband is a mining chemist at New Caledonia. Shipping men consider that the captain of the St. Paul had very little knowledge of the locality. They are of opinion that the rock should be lighted. It is the same spot where the Waipara struck in 1909.
