Alvans Rymski Was Saved Through the
Heroism OF william nfcHugh.
AlvAns Rymskl, the year old son Of
j. Rynski, q tailor at Sixth and Spruce
street,, WAS evidently not born to be
drowned He was under water yester
day in the Cbriktiara river for sbont
three and half minutes and day be
is running about and plsyiDg as II moth
Inc bad happened to him
Young Ry mski, who Is large, we'll
developed boy, and two companions we're
playing at the western approach of
Third street bridge yesterday after
noon about o'clock. At low tide the
boys have been In the habit Of jumping
orboard from the stone abutment at
the end OF the bridge and playing in the
water. They cannot swim.
When they went down to the bridge
yesterday the tide was very high, but
apparently the boys did not notice. All
OF them prepared to take a bsth.
Young Rymski got ready before his
companions and jumped overheard ex
pecting to land in water about waist
deep Instead it was about seven or
eight feet deep.
He sank Immediately before having an
opportunity to call for help. His friends
seeing that he was sinking became
frightened and began Sgain putting on
their clothing. Rymski had risen and
sunk twice however before they realized
that he WAS drowning and got their wits
together sufficiently to call for assist
ance.
Then one Of the boys told Assistant
Bddge tender keenan, Of Third street
bridge, who was at work oiling the
bridge machinery. he started to jump
over board, but q boat wishing to cone
through AZ the time, he could not leave.
He ran 10 the bridge house, however,
and told William McHugh, who ran i'm
mediatsly down to the wharf.
Kicking of his shoes and removing his
vest McHugh found out where the boy
had sunk and diVed over after him BE
had to 90 down three times before he
/ found the boy who had then been undei
| water over three minutes and WAS
presumably dead. Several hundred peo
pie had assembled, but none seemed com
pstent 70 give assistance until KeenaI
turned on the bridge again and went CO
the scene With the assistance OF ssv
eral bystanders. after great dssl OF
hard work, the boy was reshscltsted.
DR.. Spruance attended the boy and to
day he is as we'll as ever and seems IN
conscious Of tho fact that he broke thu
record FOR remaining under water with
out drowing.
