DOG SAVED FIRST.
Trapped in his overturned and blazing car at Bournemouth, the first thought of Commander L. W. Browell, R.N.,' was for his only passenger, his Scotch terrier. When the door of the car which was uppermost was oponed by a bystander, Commander Browell, before attempting to scramble out of the blazing car, handed the dog to safety. Tha accident happened near the Central station, and was witnessed by a crowd of holiday-makers. Commander Browell said afterward that he was in an awkward position, and it might have gone hard with him had it not been for the presence of mind of the bystander who so promptly opened the door. " I think the dog felt the shock more than I did," he added, with a laugh, " because we are brought up to this kind of incident in the Navy."
