A DUMB PEER
SAVES A SHIP. A story of a dumb peer of tho realm who saved the passengers of an Irish steamer was told by Dr Kennion, Bishop of Bath and Wells, at the dedication of a deaf and dumb home at Bath. " A former Lord Carbery, who was dumb," said the bishop, " was aboard a steamer sailing from Cork to Bristol. "A dense tog came on, and the passengers could see nothing. Even the lookout man was unaware of danger, when Lord Carbery shouted loudly 'Land.' The captain put the helm round, and the vessel skimmed past the southernmost rock of Lundy Island. "We all had a most narrow escape," said Dr Kennion, " and many lives were -lived by Lord Carbery's v/arning. So far asil know, Lord Carbery never uttered another coherent word.'*'
