Three Rescues at Samarai

Mr. Ben Garrett, An Ex-

Coogee lifesaver who is now a /IVT member of the Burns Philp (NG) Ltd. staff at Samarai, Papua, was luckily on hand at Rogea beach on June 6 and rescued a woman and two men who were in diffi culties in an undertow.

Mrs. Joan Taylor was caught in the undertow and carried 75 yards out. Mr. Peter Davenport went to her aid but got into difficulties him self ; then Mr. Ern Graham went to the assistance of both but could do no more than support Mrs.

Taylor.

Mr. Garrett then swam the 75 yards twice to bring in Mrs. Taylor and Davenport, both exhausted.

Graham was able to make a little progress towards the beach and was helped over the last stages by Garrett.
