ACTED A HERO's PART.
Robert FergusOn's PrOmptness Saves
WOmnn's Life.

Robert Ferguson. who Is employed in the
harbormaster's office. proved himself a
hero yesterday afternoon by jumping in
the water at the foot of 9TH street and
saving the life of Mrs. Bridget Fitzgerald.
Mrs. Fitzgerald is an old lady, who re-
sides at 9TH and F streets southwest. She
had gone to the wharf to meet the steamer
Mattano, which LANDS at the foot of 18th
street. In some manner the old lady fell
off the top of the wharf into the river,
which at that point is about ten feet deep,
and she disappeared Immediately The
persons who witnessed the accident shout
ed for help. The attention of Ferguson
was attracted; he ran to the spot and saw
the drowning woman struggling in the
water. He at once jumped in, caught hold
of her and supported her until Harbor-
master Sutton and Capt. Harry Robinson
rescued both. Mrs. Fitzgerald recovered
consciousness in a short while, and was
taken to her home. apparently none the
worse for her experience. Ferguson mod
estly disclaimed any credit for what he
had done.
