Heroism Recognised
At Ryhope Colliery Messrs. J. Scott, J. Carr, W. Ingram and W. Machin, have been presented with gold watches by officials and workmen. Mr. J. E. Swan, who made the presentations, said that three men, comrades of those to whom the watches were presented, were entombed in the West Pit of the Harvey Seam, cut off by a fall of yards long and 23 feet deep. The rescuers laboured in the foul atmosphere for many hours, and eventually the entombed were able to crawl to safety.
