Ernest Thornhill of West Dover, Nova Scotia, receives Canada's second highest civilian honor, the George Medal. When the Cape Agulhas sank off Portuguese Cove, Nova Scotia, last January, Thornhill reportedly jumped from the ship with a lifeline, swam ashore and attached the line to a rocky cliff. Thornhill was not deterred in his trip from ship to cliff despite being seriously injured on the rocks and buffeted by rough surf. The lifeline saved 16 of Thornhill's crewmates, most of whom could not swim and likely would have lost their lives if not for his courage and perseverance.
