A gallant feat by 'an all-British crew was commemorated at tho offices of Messrs. Spillers and' Bakers, Cardiff, when substantial gifts were made to Captain Atkins, the officers and members of the crew of the steamship Wlieatsheaf. On behalf of the firm. Sir. W. E. Kicholls, managing director, said that in December last, whilst (the. Whoatsheaf was on a voyage from the north of Ireland to Cardiff, she lost her stern post, , but after sixty hours' battling with, tho wind and sea, the captain and crew; ultimately took their ship safely into Kingstown. He was in London on the Tuesday following the episode, and on the Baltic Exchange was told "it is impossible for tho ship to reach port in that condition." That opinion was ample evidence, in, his mind, that what thoj . had done was something exceptional, nud therefore deserved recognition. But beyond that it was matter of great joj to" tho' company and underwriters that tho captain and mot had done their duty as Britishers.
