Rescue at Norwich. Conn.
Norwich, Conn, Feb. 1s.-Four young
Norwich men had a thrilling experience
yesterday afternoon in the chilly waters Of
the Thames. A man named O'Neil, who
lives on the west side, wanted to reach his
home, directly across the river from the dock
where the propeller Delaware is tied up
without taking the usual circuitous route.
Ihe ice in the river was apparently safe, and
O'Neil stepped confidently upon the slippery
surface. When about twenty feet from shore
there was a crack, splash, and nothing but
bubbles and broken ice remained to tell the
story.
Arthur Upham, the well known prize
fighter, succeeded in reaching the drowning
man, but before he could rescue him the ice
broke, and he, too, followed. George Ham
ilton, teamster, next braved the treaeher-
Gus expanse. When he secured a grip on
upham, who in turn was supporting the
limp form of O'Neil, another section Of ice
gave way, and the teamster joined the other
two.
Then young Tommy Sharvin, an apprentice
IN the composing room Of The Bulletin, who,
although scarcely in his teens, has already
saved half dozen people from drowning,
rushed to the rescue and was prpcipitated
into the water. The current ran strong, and
threatened to drift the whole party under the
ice Supporting the now lifeless O'Neil, the
other three padded obliquely for the shore,
breaking the rotten ice with their hands, and
finally landed, nearly exhausted, upon Central
wharf. O'Neil was resuscitated and taken
