SIX GIRLS RESCUED.

A Priest and Layman at the Risk of
Their Lives Save the Young Ladies
from Drowning.
Six young girls, not one of whom could
swim, says a Browns Mills, N. j., spe-
cial of Sept. II, struggled helplessly and
frantically to-day in the beautiful lake
here, where the water is 20 feet deep.
Rev. Robert Burke, strong armed priest
OF Mount Holly, and E. A. Fairchild, a
young Philadelphia merchant, who wit
messed the accident from the shore, swan
brayely out and rescued the drowning
girls. The occasion of the meeting was a
picnic at the lake, and the young girls.
Laura Prickett. May Kelly, Teresa Cook,
Alice and Kate Riley, and Blanche Gra-
ham wandered down from the grounds to
the edge of the water. Miss Prickett sug-
gested that it would be great fun to go out
III boat without waiting for the young
men to ask them. They were soon en-
barked, and as neither of the girls could
row confusion ensued and soon changed
to alarm. The boat had drifted to deep
water and there was no one in sight.
Vainly they sought to urge the heavily
laden craft towards the shore. Misses
Prickett and Cook, having exhausted
themselves at the oars, an effort was made
to change places, but in doing this the
boat capsized, emptying its living freight
into the deep lake. Blanche Graham's
piercing scream brought Father Burke
and Mr.. Fairchild to the scene and
the priest was the first to get his
heavy outer garments off and 90 to
the rescue. In less than a minute
after the boat upset he and Fairchild had
each grasped one of the girls, and
SWAN with his burden to the boat, which
was floating near bottom upward; bid
them hold fast to it, the two men swan
out again and brought two others safely
to the capsized craft. Miss Graham had
sunk for the last time, when Father
Burke, exhausted and painting, left the
boat for the third time to risk his life for
another. He dove and brought up Blanche
Graham's body. Holding her head above
the surface with one arm he slowly swan
to the boat with her and managed TO hold
on until assistance arrived from the
shore. The rescuers were made the lions
of the day, but the priest soon withdrew
to his house, leaving all the glory to his
companion.
