Courage of Father and Son Rescues Stranded Pair at Sea
A dramatic tale from Gaenog Town recalls Bejent and his son Clarence battling boisterous seas near Garden Island. Their boat capsized as a tide eddy drove them, with the rope and keel delaying rescue. Bejent urged his son to shore, but Clarence refused to abandon him, and both were saved by a four oared boat and rescuers including a marine department officer. The incident highlights parental devotion and heroic perseverance, with government recognition urged.
