PACIFIC GROVES YOUNG HERO
A PiUcky Boy RescUss Little Girl
From Death IN the
Surf

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, June ga
heroic action has brought to the fore
one of the many small boys who are
summerlng at this place. He is Willie
Delmaestro, and the child he rescued was
his half sister, Margaret Laguens. Yester-
day low tide quite a number OF children
were padding about in the water on the
beach and some OF the larger ones were
amusing themselves trying to reach the
steps at the end of the small pier without
getting wet Little Margaret Laguens,
finding her legs too short to admit of her
wading out, ran along the pier, intend
ing to climb down the steps. Her foot
slipped and she fell into the water.
In falling her clothing caught upon a
portion OF the steps under water and she
was held down and would speedily
have drowned had not Willie seen
her danger and gone to the rescue.
Being unable to swim, the brave little
fellow houndered about beyond his
depth keeping above water no one knows
how until he succeeded in disengapinp
the little girls clothing, and dragging her
to the surface. He was about exhausted
from his efforts and the girl was uncon-
scious. One of the bathers Fred Gallauer.
seeing the trouble, pulled them both ont
upon the beach.
1t all happened so quickly and qui etly
that the danger was past before any one
knew it had occurred. Neither of th a
children is any the worse to-day for ves-
terday's experience.
