In less than three weeks after learning to swim he swam 600 yds., the following morning 750 yds., and the same evening 1000 yds. Three days afterwards he swam three-quarters of a mile. Valuable assistance was rendered Mr. Lewis By Scoutmaster F. E. Godfrey by safeguarding the boys until they were able to swim the distances by themselves. The pupils of Mr. Andrew Dickson, Lainbton Police Station, whose names were published yesterd'ay as having passed the Royal Life Saving Society's examination, wore examined by Mr. Perry. In publishing the names yesterday it was stated in error that (instead of being the examiner) Mr. Perry "was re-examined."
