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 a passage to Falmouth. On
the way the Thrasher grounded on a
point, causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting Of the main
feed-pipe The burst pipe instantly
filed 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 I'M
through it, was the break In the steam
pipe. Lynch rush through 1t safely.
and turned to help his mate Paul.
But an instant convinced him thar
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 1t
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he repealed the attention. I'm 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, aud it was as
certained that, in order to rescue his
comrade, he had plunged the whole
upper part of his body into what was
practically a boiling cauldron. More
than this, il appeared that Lynch had
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-
rifce and bravery, Lynch was pre-
sented with the Albert Medal of the
| first class, which ls given primarily
for gallantry in saving or attempting
to save life at sea, and in some cases,
for similar acts ashore.

While shrinking into a corner of

they seemed to me as two warnings

A HOMOGENEOUS DAY.
English Commons Transact Chiefly Routine
business Some Comments on Affairs.

London. Jan. 31.-There was an utter
lack of interest in today's debate in the
House OF Commons. At no time was the
House well tilled The speeches were
and did not touch upon the future, in
which alone the public is interested. The
only sign of animation during the whole
session was when Sir Robert Threshe
Reid attacked the South African commit
tee, drawing forth cries from the Irish
members OIL publish the Hawksley let
ters."
Mr. A. J. Balfour. replying to a sug-
gestion of Sir John Henry Kennaway,
Conservative. said he regretted that ii
would be contrary To precedent to cur
tail the debate. as the amendment was a
vote of censure uTon which the fate OF
the government de pended.
Ii is announced that the new united
Irish party, at "A meeting, this afternoon,
decided to take no collective part in the
division in the House Of Commons upon
Lord Edmund fitZmaurices amendment
TO the address in reply TO the speech
from the throne. It is explained that the
Irish members of Parliament will abstain
from supporting Lord Edmund F'itzmau-
rice because his amendment contains a
decla ration favorable 10 the prosecution
Of the war.
The afternoon newspapers. even the
warmeSt supporters Of the government.
stigmatize the speeches in Parliament OF
the Unionist leaders as mere verbiage
and as displaying an unhappy inability to
realize the exceptional nature of the sit
uation or devise means for retrieving ii.
Lord Salisbury's iOcular references to
the government shortcomings are regarded
as being in particularly bad taste, and
there is nothing but approval for Lord
Rosebery's cutting criticism Of them.
With the exception OF Lord RostDery
speech. even the apologists Of the Liberal
opposition find little comfort in such
academic panaceas as the Liberal leaders
Were al Bile TO offer.
