Taylor, accompanied by his young son, was visiting Ashburton, and- went to the river, where tho young lad had a bathe. Owing to the treacherous nature of the current he was taken out of his depth and carried swiftly down stream. His plight was seen by th© High School youth r whoso indentity remains unknown. He plunged into tho river, and, assisting the younger boy, slowly fought his way to the bank. Meanwhile Mr. Taylor was fr&iitically making his way along th© bank, and when ho,reached the spot where his son had been assisted out of tho water there was no sign of the rescuer, who had unobtrusively disappeared. His son suffered little more than nervous strain, and soon recovered. The promptitude of the student was reported to tho headmaster of the school in a letter from Mr. Taylor, who wdrmly commended the rescuer on his plucky and unhesitating action. As a token of his appreciation he enclosed a donation towards the school sports fund. <• IT WAS NOT BARE REALLY.
