 Arthur D. Barnes has returned from Block Island. His account of his narrow es- cape from drowning at the Block Island bathing beach last Monday shows that he had very close call Owing to the cas- terly storm that was prevailing, there were heavy waves and the undertow was running strong. Mir. Barnes, who is good swimmer, was swimming out to the raft, as he had fre- quently done before, but the undertow was so strong that he was borne to one side. Then he attempted to swim ashore, only to find that the undertow was setting him out to sea. As last resort he shouted for help. Dr. M. 0. O'Connor of this place divested himself of some of his clothing, plunged into the sea and managed to swim out to the raft, but was unable to reach Barnes. Then ans other swimmer on shore struck out and reached Barnes; the latter said that he was fast giving out and unless 8 rope was procured he would drown. This would be 1 rescuer, seeing he could not aid, started for | the shore. The swimming of the stranger | seemed to have the effect of reviving Barnes, who struck away for the raft, and when he had nearly reached the platform, rope hav- ing been procured, it was thrown to him, | and he was pulled on to the raft. He says ! that but for this timely assistance he must | have drowned, as his strength was fast ebb- ing and when he was taken ashore he was as | weak as an infant.
