Man Saved by Prince
DRAGGED FROM WHIRRING MACHINERY SWIFT RESCUE EFFECTED (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Wednesday. The presence of mind of the Prince of Wales, during the North-east Coast Exhibition at Newcastle, saved Mr. Guiness, the foreman of the exhibition, from an ugly and possibly a fatal accident. Mr. Guiness was sitting on a ladder above a mass of tin-can-making machinery rotating at high speed, pointing out its features to the Prince. Guiness snatched at a tin and accidentally was caught in the machinery. He slipped off the lader and hung with his feet within a few inches of the open machinery. The Prince grabbed his overalls, but they slipped from his fingers. Guiness again was threatened with the loss of his legs until the Prince gripped him a second time and dragged him to safety.
