Jemmett Memorial

W. B. Jemmett, a young Englishman known for his foppish habit of dress, his astounding height and his skill in the painting of miniatures, leaped into the seas that pounded over some rocks near Biarritz, and with Raoul Fourquet, lifeguard, lost his life in an attempt to rescue a drowning Englishwoman (TIME, Aug. 3, COMMONWEALTH). Inspired by this exploit, one George Conlon, a native of Frostburg, Md., executed a small marble, "To the Heroes of the Sea," which was put on exhibition last month at the Biarritz Golf Club. A committee, organized by the Mayor of Biarritz, has raised funds to copy the design for a large memorial to Jemmett.
