GRACE DARLING
resting place for historic boat Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October 26. Grace Darling’s boat, which has been preserved since the famous rescue from the wreck of the Forfarshire in 1838. has found a fitting abiding place in the Hamburgh Churchyard. Grace Darling is buried in the church, which is a place of pilgrimage by admirers of the heroine. [By the performance of her heroic deed in putting off in a small boat from the lighthouse on one of the .Fame Islands, of which her father was keeper, to the rescue of the shipwrecked crew of the Forfarshire, whose lives she saved, Grace Darling made an enduring name for herself. She was only twenty-three years of age at the time, and died four years later of consumption.]
