BRAVERY REWARDED.
Press Association. Auckland, June 7. At a meeting of Auckland City Council last night the Mayor presented tho Humane Society’s medal to F. F. Tester, who behaved iu a most conraegous manner iu attempting to save Mrs Driscoll from burning on October 24th, 1905. Tester found Mrs Driscoll enveloped in flames, wrapped her in a sack and tore her burning clothes off with his bare hands. Mrs Driscoll died later but Tester’s bravery iu extinguishing the fire while himself badly burned no doubt saved the life of her husband, who was asleep. Tester previously rescued a hoy who had fallen from a vessel iu port.
