SAVED BY THE PRINCE.
FOREMAN OF EXHIBITION. PERIL FROM MACHINERY. Australian and N.Z. Pi'ess Association. LONDON, May 15. Presence of mind on the part of the Prince of Wales on his visit to the Northeast Coast Exhibition at Newcastle saved Mr. Guiness, foreman of the exhibition, from a nasty accident. Mr. Guiness was sitting on a ladder above a mass of KLu can-making machinery which was rotating at high speed, pointing out its features to the Prince.
Mr. Guiness snatched at a tin which accidentally had been caught in the machinery. He slipped off the ladder and hung feet down within a few inches of the open machinery. The Prince grabbed the foreman's overalls, but-they slipped from his fingers and Guiness again was threatened with injury to his legs. However, the Prince gripped him a second time and dragged him to safety.
