Great heroism was displayed by Mr 1. \hilvenna, one of tie A.B.'s on the Wimineva, who, with Mr B. Bonbon. another A.'<., was lost ae. the Tcsult\ <>f ■'» It'-sai < f ,r cin!i; efforts "on behalf ,of *he pwssenuiers. These brave men helped to get several of the boats-'..out. , low rin<* them' quite regardless of their own sal'etv. and did not cease their efforts to save life when the boat to which they were allotted had ben safely lowered. ; Mulvenna was a native of 'County ■Antrim,-Ireland, .and had. no relatives' in New Zealand. Benson^ whos.- correct. na*e is- believed to be Beislon. came from Sweden. He alat> had. no relatives in New Zealand. It is the nnanimoiiß opii.lon of the eurvjyora that the heroism and devotion, to duty aisphiyed by th 'se two men cannot" be praised too highly.

. The'.soldier*' letters'which . «n» cominjf jnto Base Records in connexion with tue History of t':o War show a wonderful spirit ol optimism (.says the Wi.lHugtou Post)! The daily perils of the war are UHiialy described in quite a/-matter-of-fact way. There lV no com- ■■ .paining, -but -a note of satisfaction pervades nearly every lett.r—the pride of those who know that they are doings their duty and- feel that nothing else matters. As an instance, the day'after, landing at Gullipoli, a soldier, writes"All day long men are coming-in bleeding like stuck pigs, and laughing* over it, and qnrsing the Turks." The slang philosophy of the ■battlefield nitty •b? summed up in the postcript to one letter: "Tell them at home not to worry. Although there are soihe toughtimes, I wouldn't mu-s it for quids,: and if • -by chance I kick 1 the bucket you r w,tll- know it was-worth it." : - ilncreasedi heajlth fulness and' vigour result from drinking KOLA-NIP-—the. beverage with the nutty flavour. Nonalcoholic, yet snappy—full of twangdelicious. Try a little iu aeratid waters.
