young man, apparently about twenty
five years old above medium height with light hair
and light mustache, hired bathing suit at Wander

on Friday and went in bathing, q. A. Devucene, an
officer employed by vanderveer, noticed him as ne

tened toward him. The young man grasped his res
cuers shoulder convulslvely and for o mo-
nen it seemed as If both would DO drowned. The
rescung Dather shook himself loose however aud the
young sank. The lfeboat was lowered from the
new Iron Pier near BY and dozen men who saw the
young mans danger rushed to him. He rose once
more before help could reach him sank again, and
was not seen aiterward.
There much excitement among the few people In
bathing at the time and among the fifty or more chill
dreU OF the segsidc Home who were IN the water.
Every effort Was made to the young man and to
find his body after it became certain that he was
drowned but witt bout The who first tried
TO save him hssfed to the bathing pavilion and went
away, refusing TO give his name. On examining the
clothing Of the drowned man business card was found
