A RESCUE AT SEA.
I, REWARDS FROM ITALIAN JIM - GOVERNMENT. gig . [BY TELEGRAPH.PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Monday. Early in 'January last year four Italian fishermen, while engaged at their calling in Palliser Bay, aboard the steam launch Napoli, were blown out to sea. Their plight Was desperate when the Union Company's ~ . steamer Rosamond, from Westport to Napier, bore down upon them. The launch was then awash, and the Italians exhausted. They were hauled aboard the Rosamond after • • considerable difficulty, in which the. second officer, H. Newing, distinguished himself. The Consul for Italy has now received from the Italian Government medals for presenta- : tion to Captain Cashman, who was then master of the Rosamond, and Mr. Newing. Captain Cashman is at present in Sydney, and Newing is now an officer on the Takapuna.
