Fatal Ending of a
Boating Trip.
ASSISTANCE CAME TOO LATE
JOHN KAvANAUGH DROWNED
OFF FORT MASON.
The Heroic Efforts of John Scannell
to Rescue His Companion
Nearly Cost Him
His Life.

John Kavanaugh, a member OF Truck
Company No. of the local fire depart
ment, was drowned off Fort Mason yes
terday afternoon under circumstances
that were thrilling and pathetic. John
Scannell, also of the some truck company,
who was with him at the time the I'M
fortunate accident occurred, barely es-
capped with his own life in an effort to
save his friend, and is now in bed at the
truck house, 1919 Post street, suffering
from the shock and exhaustion.
Kavanaugh was granted a leave Of alb
sence of ten days by his chief, and pre-
vious to leaving for the country, sug-
gested to Scannell that they take a row
on the bay. They went to the foot of
Hyde street and borrowed fiat-bottomed
boat belonging to Walter Cline, fellow
fireman. The bay was rough and they kept
near shore. The breaking of an oar
while rounding Fort Mason decided them
TO make for the landing. They man
aged to propel the boat beneath the
wharf and both tried to climb up the
stringers. Kavanaugh was unable 20
keep his hold and yelled to his comrade
that he was falling. Scannel seeing that
the boat was being washed AWAY and that
the water and grabbed the boat. He
brought it beneath Kavanaugh and the
latter jumped The boat was upset and
kavanaugh fell into the water uncon-
scious. Scannell swan 10 his friend as
sistance and held his head above the wa
ter, battling hard-to bring MIN in safety
to the landing.
People on the wharf witnessed the
catastrophe and heard the calls for help
No boat being at hand they ran to the
Dolphin Boat-house and got one. The
heavy tide and choppy sea made Scan
nells task harder and harder each mo-
ment, and seeing that he and Kavanaugh
would sink to the bottom before help ar,
rived he allowed his friend to slip out of
his arms and then struggled to reach
the rocks close inshore. Kavanaugh sunk
like rock and no trace of him could be
found by the men in the small boat who
laboriously pulled to the point where he
went down.
Soldiers aided Scannell to Chamber up
the rocks and carried him to their quar-
tiers, where he was given stimulants to
bring him around. After resting for
some hours he was given a dry suit Of
clothing and sent to his truck headquar-
tiers.
Kavanaugh, the drowned fireman. was
about q years old, and lived with his
mother at 110S1a Hyde street He had
been a member of the Fire Department
for about three years. Three months ago
he was transferred from engine to truck
8. He was extremely popular, and his I'M
timely loss is deeply felt by his fellow
fremen. The fire-house will be draped
to-day in memory of him. His body has
not yet been recovered.
