HE EARNED HIS MEDAL,
Heroic Act Of stoker on British
Warship.

Heroic Act Of stoker on British
warship.
Towards the end OF the year 1897
the British torpedo-boat Thrasher,
with its mates Lynx and Sunfish, left
St. Ives on passage to Falmouth. On
the way the Thrasher grounded on
point, causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting Of the main
feed-pipe. The burst pipe instantly
filled the stokehold with scalding
steam. In it were two stokers, Ed
ward Lynch and James Paul. All the
rest of the boats company were land
ed on the rocks, but the doubling up
OF the deck had prevented the egress
of the stokers by the starboard hatch
way. There was still a port hatch
way, which was partially closed, and
towards this the two men made their
way, Lynch in the lead. Directly un-
der the hatchway and discharging
through it, was the break in the steam
pipe. Lynch rush through it safely,
and turned to help his mate Paul.
But an instant convinced him that
Paul was unable to follow. Then
Lynch lay down on the deck with his
head and face in the escaping steam,
seized hold of the sinking Paul, and
by remarkable exercise of force and
tenacity drew him up on the deck.
Lynch then rose to his feet, but it
was observed that he was badly scald-
ed about the head, arms and upper
part of the body. The surgeon began
to apply oil and wool to his burns. but
he repealed the attention. Pm all
right" he exclaimed; look after my
chum! He's very bad!" He had said
nothing about the way he had rescued
Paul. but his manly conduct led the
surgeon to investigate, and it was as
certalned that, in order to rescue his
comrade, he had plunged the whole
upper part Of his body into what was
practically boiling cauldron. More
than this, it appeared that Lynch lad
previously sacrificed his own chance
Of escaping from the stokehold the
other way in order TO stay with Paul.
In recognition of this act OF selfsac-
rifice and bravery, Lynch was pre-
scented with the Albert Medal Of the
first class, which is given primarily
for gallantry in saving or attempting
to save life at sea, and in some cases.
for similar acts ashore.
