A Steamer Blows Up.
Coxswain James Campbell, of Boulmer, has won the bronze medal for gallantry. His life-boat was helping in the tow of a burning steamer when the whole fore-part of the steamer blew up. The life-boat was lifted out of the water; her crew were blown flat; pieces of metal rained down on her. A second explosion might come at any moment, but Coxswain Campbell took the life-boat straight through the smoke and fumes alongside the steamer's stern and rescued two men who were on board..
