noon she accepted an invitation from one OF
her admirers to 90 sailing ON the sea. Ihe
day was pleasant and the young foiks en-
loved themselves, starting just before sun
down to return to shore. In going about the
boom struck the young man OIL the head anu
hurled him into the water. Miss heeo ih-
stantly seized boat hook and by hanging |
over the rail, exercising her utmost Strength
she was able to drag her companions pooy
on board. Her efforts TO restore the young
man to consciousness were not so osuccessiui'
and it occurred to her that the best thing 70

watched the sailors closely, and in a1e"

to its landing, and then the plucky Georgia
miss delivered her wounded charge into the
hands of his friends. The young man mas
