James Vivian Reed
Albert Medal |
SS Afonwen |
Whitehall,
July 23, 1909. |
On the occasion of the earthquake at Messina on the 28th
December, 1908, the steamship Afonwen, of Cardiff, was lying
at her moorings, having arrived at Messina on the 24th
December. The first intimation the Master of the ship
(Captain William Owen) had of the disaster was on being
awakened in the early morning of the 28th December by the
noise of the upheaval and the commotion caused by the tidal
wave, but owing to the darkness and the dense clouds of dust
the full extent of the disaster could not be realised for
some time. The danger to shipping claimed the first
attention of the Captain, but having satisfied himself as to
the safety of his vessel he proceeded ashore with his crew,
as the dawn broke, to render assistance. The particular act
of gallantry in respect of which the Albert Medal has been
awarded was performed when a building of five storeys was
reached, where children were noticed at a great height from
the ground crying for help. The interior of the building had
for the most part collapsed, and one of the walls had
disappeared; the structure was therefore in a very dangerous
condition. The Captain having given the word, Henry Smith,
Able Seaman, and, shortly after, James Vivian Reed, Second
Mate, swarmed up a rope to the rescue of the children, who
had lowered string by means of which the rope was hauled up
and made fast. The rescue of the children having been
effected, three persons were lowered down from a story
above. Henry Smith, in pursuit of his calling, is away at
sea and therefore was not able to attend at the Palace
yesterday. His medal will be presented at a later date. |
