MR. DAVID EVANS, who is second mate of the tanker Pass of Balmaha, has been presented with a gold watch and scroll by the Bulk Oil Steamship Co. Ltd., in recognition of his gallantry in diving overboard while the ship was in the Firth of Forth and saving the life of a deck-hand who had fallen into the sea.

When he is on leave Mr. Evans often serves as a member of the Moelfre lifeboat crew, and on the 28th of July, 1957, he and another member of the crew jumped into the sea from the Moelfre life-boat and helped to keep a girl bather afloat until she was rescued by the life-boat. An account of this service appeared in the December 1957 number of the Life-boat on page 535..
