MEDAL FOR BRAVERY
TRIBUTE FROM NATION TO FIRE
MyN LYNCH or NEW YORK
Saved Fcrty-FIye Lives During Burn
Ing Of the Excursion Boat Gen.
SIoeum IN New York Harbor
on June IS, 1904.

New York.--None but a fireman can
understand with what pride Engineer
Patrick Lynch Of the New York fire
department wears the gold medal pre-
sented to him by the congress Of TIE
United States. 1t was tribute from
the nation In recognition OF his bray
cry during the burning OF the excur-
sion boat Gen. Slocum on June ID.
1904, that Congressman Joseph A.
Golden pinned on Lynch's breast the
medal from congress-
The Slocum disaster was by no
means the first occasion when Lynch
risked his life In order to save that of
others. NO so Cannon street was the
scene of one OF his first heroic acts.
1t was on November IA, 1879, when
only private that Lynch rushed into
the burning building and tried to save
those within. He was so persistent
in his efforts that for eight months
afterward he lay in Bellevue hospital
suffering from the burns and smoke.
Through the 29 years that Lynch
has been member of the fire depart
ment his record has been punctuated
with acts of bravery, and he has never
had single charge marked against
his name. He has been to the hospital
three times. has been carried out OF
fires as dead several times, and as for
being overcome by smoke, that Is a
common occurrence.
The day of the Gen. Slocum dis
aster it happened to be Lynch's day
OF duty Being an able swimmer, he
was going for dip off East One Hun
dred and Forty-first street. when ne
spied the steamer Gen. Slocum coming
upstream ablaze from stem to stern.
Il saw the sand schooner John T.
Russell tied up to the pier" said
Lynch in telling about it. Il rushed
aboard and was about to loosen one
Of the boats, when a deckhand ran
up and threatened me. convinced
him that was a fireman and wanted
to try to save those on the burning
excursion boat. Only after this ex
PLANTATION was l permitted to use the

render assistance women and chill
dren jumped for my boat. which, be-
ing but small one could not possibly
hold all who wanted to get in. The
result was that most OF those who
jumped the first time fell into the
water. Tnen Capt John L. Wade OF
the tug Wade came to my assistance
and the refugees In my boat were
transferred to the tug.
There was so much assistance
needed that hundred men with boats
would not have been too many to
render help. When | returned to the
burning boat from the tug Wade |
spied, near the paddle wheel, half a
hundred women and children holding
on. The flames had almost reached
them. I rowed nearer and yelled to
them to hold fast and / would try to
save them. got boat full Of wom-
en- and children and rowed them out
to the tug Wade. The crew pulled
them aboard, while / recovered
breath enough to go back for another
boat full"
Again and again Lynch repeated his
trips between the rapidly burning
Slocum and the tug, each time carry
ing a boat load Of mothers and their
little ones. Detective Sergeant Henry
c. Firneisen owes to Lynch the safety
OF his wife and two children. When
| Firneisen heard that the Slocum was
ablaze he rushed almost Historically
to the scene and, to his Joy, found
| Lynch had saved those dearest to
| him.
Desiring to express his gratitude to
Lynch for saving his family, Firneiser
| presented to him gold watch, chain
and locket. On the watch Is inscribed
the following: presented by Henry
