TIMELY SUCCOUR.
MAEOONED HOLIDAY-MAKEES. ON LONELY ISLET. VEEGE OF COLLAPSE. (Eeeeived 1G.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 28. Four Freneli holiday-makers, including a woman, were fishing in the English Channel when they were caught in a heavy storm. They succeeded after two days' buffeting in reaching an uninhabited rocky islet, where their boat was wrecked. They subsisted for four days on shell fish, suffering tortures from lack of water. They were on the brink of collapse when they were rescued by Mrs Bobbins, the widow of a British officer, who visits the islets weekly to feed the birds. She succoured the castaway party. —Sun.
