drowned, for they had gone under the !

into the river with her clothes on and |
came very near going under too, for her |
dress skirt, which she had previously I'M
fastened, became entangled round her
feet and it was only by desperate effort |
that she got rid of it and swan out and
rescued Mrs. Phinizy and her child. 1t
was a noble act and Beaufort is very
proud of Miss Mamie.
