NOVELIST'S DAUGHTER SAVES THREE LIVES

DRAGS MEN PROM ROCKS IN FAST MOTOR BOAT. Bui for the during of Miss Fay QuilkrCondi, the daughter of Sir Quillor-Couch, the literary knight whoso novels under tho pseudonym of "Q” arc well known, tlirce sailors would have been dashed to death against dangerous and partly-submerged rocks just, outside b'owoy Harbor, on the ooajit of Cornwall. The sailors, foreigners from a, vessel loaded with china, clay, which is tho main industry of Fowcy. had gone, for a. sail in n. boat. Soon after they got beyond the .shelter of the harbor and into tho troubled ■sea, they found their boat being driven toward the treacherous coast by a strong wind. Mies Quiller-Couch, who knows tho harbor and coast web and can handle a boat with a. skill many ms lives must envy, seeing the sailors' plight, rated across the harbor in a, motor heal to Urn rescue. She arrived in time, and by a clever manipulation of the boat in the racing currents, gtlt. the. sailing bom in tow, and slowly, but surely, cheeked its course to destruction. It was with the greatest difficulty, because of tho danger the foreign--."*’ host had of capsizing, that she brought it and its three terrified or.cn mints safely into the harbor.
