A GALLANT ACTION.
To the Editor of th<°, Erenhnj Star. Sir, —Allow me through your columns, to express my approbation of the manner in which Mr Willson, the lessee of the Pelichet Bay baths, has been by his presence of mind the instrument of saving different persons from drowning. Not later than Saturday last a little boy fell from the jetty into eight feet of water. Whilst others were running about trying to render assistance Mr Willson immediately plunged in, or else the child must have been drowned. Hoping under all difficulties he may act in the same praiseworthy manner, —I am, &c., G.H.S. Dunedin, Sept. 6. [We have departed from our rule by inserting the above without having the name and address of the writer as a guarantee for its truth, as it boars the m irks of veracity, and wo should be sorry not to record so gallant'an action. But wctal'e this opportunity of pointing out the propiioty and necessity
of guaranteeing such statements to the Editor by communicating the true name and address of writers of letters as a proof of the genuiuess of the information given. Ed. &S.] _____
