Many cases of heroism, at the sinking of the Gambier, haye been revealed. One was that ot a lad of 14 named Ar vie Jalger who was travelling with Miss Kelly.

Leaving her on deck, he said, "Wait here, and I will go below and got a lifebelt." He rushed away, and while below the vessel sank. He was seen no mire. Miss Kelly was among those saved. Another whose conduct marks him out for honourable mention is George Martin, steerage passenger, formerly a resident ot Auckland. He acted with great nerye and good judgment, and saved the lives of several people, among them being Mrs Robinson, asteerage passenger, Thomas, Philip, and Joseph Rooke, besides three ohildren.
