Some days ago Pliny Wright and
Albert Farman went bathing in the
river. Farman could swim. Wright
could swim only little, but thought
he could go across the river. They
started, but when part way across
Wright lost control of himself and
called to his companion for aid. Far
man went to him but was not strong
enough to pull his head above water
Remembering pole he had seen on
the bank he went for it with all haste
and returning, he saw Wright al
the bottom of the river, his body in a
partly standing posture. Fortunately
the pole had short limbs upon it, and
getting it under Wright, he pulled
him into shallow water and then got
him to land though in an insensible
condition. Wright says the last he
remembers is of Farman leaving him
in the water.
