Loneliest Guardian of Shetland Skua Colony

Henry Edwardson, the lone watcher on Herma Ness in Uncat, keeps vigil over the great skua colony with sea in sight and birds as companions. Since 1923 he has managed the field hut, aiding protection efforts and turning a dwindling colony into a thriving site of over 200 nesting skuas by 1974, earning a Royal Society medal for his decades of service.

Man Vanishes After London Robbery Attempt

Scotland Yard detectives comb London for two men one wearing a trimmed coat amid an attempted robbery. Mrs Geddes and her husband chased the intruders from a Bloomsbury flat near Woburn Place and Gordon Street, with one suspect leaping a wall and fleeing down streets as residents pursued. The man evaded capture as police searched parks and gardens around Bedford Square.
