Miscellaneous Notes and Incidents

Edward Medal. — On your recommendation His Majesty was pleased to award the Edward Medal of the Second Class to Christopher Devenport, fore-overman, and William Walker, deputy overman, for gallant conduct in rescuing a fellow workman from a fall of roof in Harton Colliery, South Shields. Both these men crept beneath a mass of fallen material and then worked to release their comrade who was imprisoned by the fall, while the roof above them threatened to further collapse and cut off their escape.
