of
AL u recent presentation medals and certificates to members i of the London Fire Brigade, attention was drawn to what may not inaptly be termed the fireman's V.C., the silver medal awarded for extreme bravery in saving life, or attempting to save it, in cases of fire.
At the present time only a dozen men hold the medal, which is invested with so much mystery that its recipients do not know flat it Ie been awarded them until the time of the actual presentation.

THRILLING HAVERY.
At this juncture an architect i Banned MeNeir, seeing the fire- mun's plight, vehunteered to go up and rescue hiin. Avoiding contact with the metal part of the ladder, MeNeir reached the helpless mụn, after himself being singed by the flames. Taking out his pocket knife, he sought to cut off the man's foot, but received a shock through.] the knife that not only sent him reeling backwards off the ladder, but released the fireman's foot by: its force 1 The brave restier was taully hurt, but survived to recaixe. the coveted Carnegie Medal.
