"For devotion to duty and quick thinking in attending to electrical defects as a result of a collision, thereby eliminating danger from serious fire. Immediately after the collision involving HMCS Matapedia and S.S. Scorton, Leading Seaman North took immediate action in putting out fires which were just beginning as a result of the degaussing cables being severed by the collision. A fuse box was also found to be burning and was quickly put safe. Within a very few minutes, North had emergency lighting rigged and functioning."
