pert swimmers, had been In the water some time,
when the former gave evidence OF distress and
shr!eked for help. Villers and the valet first
thought he was Joking but the distress stamped in
the face OF Striker, who was zetZed with cramp,
alarmed the others. Viliers swan to his side and
,orted him, while the valet threw an oar
winch fell out or Strikers reach. Striker grasped
yillers with drowning clutch, and the English
man was compelled to wrench himself away from
his friend in order to save his own life. Striker
sank in thirty-one feet OF water. George Rogers,
