I have received a copy of the page in the Royal Humane Society Case Book
which features an award to my great-uncle, JAMES RICHARD OGILVIE for a
rescue on June 2, 1883.

In case it should be of interest to the families concerned, the rescued
were LOUIS WARREN, aged 9 and ARABELLA WARREN, aged 7. C.G. CHAPMAN, aged
30, was dead when lifted from the sea to a boat which came to their aid in
Durban Bay. If anybody is interested in more information, please contact
me.
