MR. PAUL CAVE—As announced in last week's Echo, Mr. Paul Cave, who has been on a business trip to South Africa, returned home last week. Mr. Cave was expected to reach home on Friday evening, but being on board the Union Steamship Company's boat Briton, that was twice stranded on Thursday, he did not reach home at the expected time, but was 12 hours late.

RUSHDEN AMBULANCE MEN FOR SOUTH AFRICA

Today (Friday) three members of the Rushden Ambulance Brigade left Rushden for work in South Africa. The selected men were Messrs. L. Baxter, L. Munday and W. Knight, but a further draft is expected to be sent next week. The men were played to the Station by the Temperance Band, and left with expressions of good wishes for their comrades and friends.

Messrs Cave and Sons, who are executing a large contract for canvas boots for the Government for use in South Africa, have presented a pair to each of the men.

Mr Paul Cave starts tomorrow (Saturday) for South Africa. He will sail in the Norman.

Mr Paul Cave, according to a recent letter received from South Africa, is still at Cape Town, and has not been allowed to go into the interior, notwithstanding that he has a passport signed by Lord Wolseley. Mr Cave has had a conversation with the Rev J G Davies, formerly of Irthlingborough, who wishes to be remembered to all his friends at Rushden.
