Ship’s Surgeon,

Cares for 50 Wounded for 12 |
Hours After Sinking of |
His Vessel.
| SOMEWHERE IN SCOTLAND.—
Out of the sinking of the Canadian
corvette Weyburn has come one of |
the war's great acts of individual |
{ heroism—that of a Royal Navy sur- |
| geon lieutenant who disregarded his |
own broken legs to attend more than |
50 injured and wounded seamen for
more than 12 hours.
The surgeon lieutenant,
name cannot be disclosed, was the
medical officer on the British destroy-
er which picked up most of the Wey-
burn’s survivors after the Canadian
warship was crippled by an unex-
plained explosion while on convoy
duty in the Mediterranean a few
weeks ago.
Both Legs Broken.
The doctor was standing on the |
destroyer’s deck helping the Wey-
burn survivors from the water and
attending the wounded when there
was a terrific underwater explosion.
Both the doctor’s legs were broken
below the knee, and he was dazed
for a few moments by the shock.
But he recovered quickly, refused
all efforts to carry him to a cot,
called three seamen to help him and
went to work.
Survivors of the Weyburn, waiting
at this base for transportation back
to Canada, told how the doctor had
the seamen carry him around the |
destroyer’s decks to attend some of |
Si
|
|
|
the wounded and injured. Then he |
had them carry him to the destroy- |
er’s wardroom, by this time filled
with wounded from the Weyburn and
men of the destroyer injured in the |
second explosion.
Refused to Give Up.
By each cot the seamen would
place him in a sitting position on the |
floor, where he would make an ex-
amination and give orders for treat-
ment to the sick bay attendant. Then
the strange procession would move |
on to the next wounded man.
Only when every examination was |
made did he permit himself to be
placed in a chair with his legs
stretched out for what small meas-
ure of comfort was possible. But he
still refused to stop work.
He sat in the chair for hours until
the destroyer reached Gibraltar, di-
recting the treatment of several
seriously wounded and burned men.
He relaxed only when doctors came
aboard to take the wounded to more
comfortable quarters.
Even his last job, as the procession
of stretchers began to move off the
ship, was an official one—to call for
another stretcher, this time for him-

Prisoner Back in Jail
Ten Years After Escape |
PHOENIX, ARIZ.—Kenneth Jess. |
mon, 38, was back in the Caricopa |
county jail from which he escaped |
with five others 10 years ago. Jess- |
mon, who told police he had gone
straight since his escape, was ar- |
rested as a result of a routine check-
up of fingerprints when he went to
work for the Excello corporation of
Detroit.
Originally sentenced on a burglary
charge, he was awaiting transfer to
Arizona State prison at the time of |
his escape. Jessmon is married and |
father of a seven-year-old boy. His |
wife and son, he said, knew nothing |
of his Phoenix record until he was |
arrested at the request of Sheriff |
Lon Jordon of Phoenix. |
Jessmon will be transferred to |
state prison to serve a term of two |
to five years. |
PITTSBURGH.—Magistrate P. J.
Sullivan lent a sympathetic ear to
the tale of Mrs. Roy T. Pifer,
charged with a traffic violation. |
Mrs. Pifer, it seems, parked her
car, put a nickel in the meter and
joined a line before a meat market,
She needed a roast for Sunday din-
ner. An hour passed. The nickel
ran out. But Mrs. Pifer didn’t
budge.
“The people were like a bunch of
wolves and I just had to stay there
or lose my chance to get a roast,”
she lamented.
Said Magistrate Sullivan: “Case
dismissed.” |
Audience Runs Amuck |
When Movie Lights Fail |
CITY OF MEXICO.—When the
electric lights failed in a motion pic- |
ture theater here the audience |
smashed furniture and glassware in |
the place, then swarmed into the |
street and broke the cinema’s mar- |
quee lights and windows of adjoining |
stores and houses until a police riot
squad arrested 15.
