The condition of the City Baths was
touched on by several members.
The lack of lighting facilities the bad condition of the lavatories were stressed, while one member said he had pulled out four doors or boards floating in the water.
They had undoubtedly been pulled on from some part as the nails were sticking in them, and they had evidently been used as surf boards.

MASS RESCUE AT MAROUBRA

SYDNEY, Sunday.—Lifesavers at Maroubra figured in a mass rescue this afternoon when about 30 people simultaneously got into difficulties at the beach.
.
Four reels were used, and several beltmen went out three times before all were brought to safety.
A large crowd had been bathing on a sandbank about 200 yards from the shore.
The receding tide suddenly caused the bank to collapse and men,
women and children were left struggling in the water.
A strong current quickly carried them out a considerable distance and many signalled for help.
Surf boards were immediately paddled to those in need, who clung to them until help arrived.
"We got them all in safely.
It could have been much worse, but fortunately most of them kept calm when they saw help coming," said the vice-captam of the surf club (G. Glenfield) to-night.

Reg. Matthews, captain of North Bondi Surf Club, figured in a brilliant rescue.
He fought through a fairly heavy sea at North Bondi to bring in Miss M. Burrell (19), of Bondi.
She was unconscious for 30 minutes.
Miss Burrell got into difficulties when a huge wave overturned a rubber float on, which she was surfing.
She was swept into a channel and carried out.

By rescuing a surfer at North Cronulla beach Malvern George (17), of Bexley, was himself almost drowned.
He was assisting to bring in 12 people, who had been caught in the undertow, when a lifeline became entangled in his legs.
Handicapped by his patient he was unable to free himself, and was dragged to the beach with his head under water.
Reelmen did not notice George's predicament, and George was unconscious when picked up.
Resuscitation methods were applied for 20 minutes on the beach, and carbon dioxide was administered on the way to hospital.
 His condition to-night was reported to be satisfactory.
