A bronze medal for gallantry in saving life has been awarded by His Majesty the King to Mr. James Wil liam Scott, first mate of the Melanesian mission vessel “Southern Cross.”

Mr. Scott was the officer, who, when the ship was wrecked in the New Hebrides in October last, plunged into the boiling surf and carried the life line ashore. Without heed to the risk of sharks and the dangers of the reef, he swam ashore and enabled the re mainder of the crew to be rescued in comparative safety.
