Beschreibung
Royal Humane Society, bronze medal, with Second Award Bar, the edge contemporarily engraved ‘Frederick John Davis’, with top bronze riband buckle, good very fine £200-£240 --- R.H.S. Case no. 21,620: ‘At the Royal Albert Dock, London, at 4:30 p.m. on 15 May 1882, Abdulla, a Lascar, was holding a truck on which a piston was resting, when the lad slipped off, the truck handles flew back, struck the man, and knocked him into the dock. Mr. Frederick John Davis, 4th Officer of the Peninsula and Oriental Steamship Rome, jumped from a height of 10 feet, and brought the man to the surface of the water. Davis did not wait to divest himself of his clothes, and the water is sad to be in a polluted state.’ R.H.S. Case no. 22,382: ‘At the Royal Albert Dock, London, at 4:00 p.m. on 15 July 1884, W. H. Pring, a 14 year old Dock Messenger from Palistow, Essex, fell into the dock between the barge and the landing stage, and sank at once. Mr. Frederick John Davis, 2nd Officer of the Peninsula and Oriental Steamship Poonah, jumped off the stage, caught hold of the boy just below the surface of the water, and fastened a rope around his body, by which he was drawn up. Davis was subsequently under medical treatment in consequence of the impurity of the water.’ Both cases were successful. Sold with copied research.
