She had disappeared, and only one hand was visible, when Mr. A.R. Curson, who is a clerk at Messrs Rolckow, Vaughan, and Co., and a son of the Middlesbrough Dockmaster, pluckily plunged into the water and rescued her. Mr. Curson had only been a short while out of bed, where he had been suffering from an attack of pneumonia for a fortnight; but, on hearing of the accident, he promptly threw aside the blankets in which he was wrapped, and rescued the child. No one was near at the time, and the gallantry of the act was all the more notable.' (extract from the Northern Echo refers). Curson was presented with the Royal Humane Society Bronze Medal and Northern Review Order of the Silver Shield by the Mayor of Middlesbrough, Councillor C.L. Bell, in his first public act as Mayor, at a ceremony held at the Athletic Institute, Middlesbrough, in which the Mayor, in making the presentation, 'urged the boys present to be manly in the true sense of the word, which did not mean smoking a clay pipe and lounging about public-houses, but in showing their devotion to their fellow creatures and doing their duty as citizens.' (extract from the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette refers). The ceremony ended with a musical performance, in which the little girl who was rescued participated. The Order of the Silver Shield was established by the proprietors of the Northern Review as a reward 'for bravery and manliness' in 1892; Curson was the first Knight of the Order. |
