PLUCKY HIGH SCHOOL BOY.
RECOMMENDED FOR REWARD.
It is with pleasure that we reproduce the following from our Palmerston evening contemporary, and to think that our suggestion has been carried out: —
It will be remembered that some adays ago Master Virgil Edwards, son of Mr Robert Edwards, saved a lad named Berthold from drowning in the Manawatu river, at Foxton. Last week the Mayor, after consultation with the Rector of the High School, communicated with His Excellency the Governor, asking him to make representations in order that young Edwards' pluck and gallantry should be recognised in a fitting manner. To-day the Mayor received the following reply from His Excellency’s, private secretary: —I laid before His Excellency the Governor your letter of the 13th instant, and the newspaper cutting giving account of the bravery of a lad named Virgil Edwards in rescuing Henry Berthold from drowning. His Excellency has forwarded the particulars to the Royal Humane Society of New Zealand in order that they may consider the question of recognition of this brave act. —Yours faithfully. ARTHUR GUISE. Private Secretary.
