Miss Sudlow had gone into the
deepest water. She could not swim,
but Young Buford could. and the
version of those who witnessed the
tragedy is that he endeavored to
save her. bu not only did the
young lady perish. but her gallant
companion lost his life. too. As
soon as young Dart saw the peril of
his companions, and y realizing
that he could not swim himself,
he rushed down the bank and
seizing a boat was joined by fisher
man who happened to be near by.

Miss Sudlow'S body floating by just
