On January 17 last the steamer Clovelly, owned by Mr. Tom LEWIS, Cardiff, stranded near Barra de Ortigueira, on the Spanish coast, and, despite all efforts to refloat her, remained hard and fast. The weather was bad at the time, with heavy rain and a high sea. The second officer, Mr. G.L. SCOTT, lost his life, although a gallant attempt was made to save him by Ordinary Seaman Fred Charles REECE, of Cardiff, who has now been awarded the Board of Trade's Silver Medal for gallantry in saving life at sea. The following are the particulars given by the Board of his gallantry:- "About nine a.m. a boat was launched with a crew of five hands in charge of the second officer for the purpose of taking soundings and running out a kedge anchor, but the boat on leaving the ship was overturned, and the occupants were thrown into the water. All regained the upturned boat with the exception of the second officer and a Malay seaman, who were carried away. "Observing them in difficulties REECE dived overboard from the Clovelly into the rough sea in an endeavour to place a life-buoy within reach of the second officer, who, however, disappeared before REECE could get to him. The remaining four members of the boat's crew, and REECE himself, were rescued by means of lines. "REECE risked his own life in his gallant attempt to rescue the second officer." PHOTOGRAPH  PAGE.
