HOW FIRST VICTORIA
CROSSJVAS WON
The stories fabled from England
of how British blue-jackets in the re
cent naval engagement off Heligoland
picked up unexploded shells that fell
on the decks of their vessels and
threw them overboard recall the fact
that the first Victoria Cross was
awarded to a sailor in the Crimean
war for performing exactly such a
feat. He was Rear Admiral C. L).
Lucas,.R. N., wrho died several weeks
ago, just about tho time hostilities
broke out. He was an acting mate
on board the Hecla, of Admiral Na
pier’s fleet, In the Baltic, and the
feat which won him the cross was
performed during the bombardment
of Bomarsund, a port of the Aland
Islands, where the Russian and Ger
man fleets were reported as having
been engaged in the present war.
The shell which dropped on the
Hecla’s deck was fizzing when Lu
cas leaped forward and pitched it ov
er the side. There was only the
barest fraction of unburned fuse be
tween him and destruction, but he
was cool and collected in the man
ner of performing the exploit, (’apt.
Hall, his commander, brought the
deed to the attention of Admiral Na
pier, who wrote to the admiralty that
he trusted "their Lordships would
mark their sense of his act by pro
muting him." Accordingly, he was
• romotcd to lieutenant, and upon the
institution of the Victoria Cross the
first of the decorations was conferred
upon him.
