TWO HEROES FROM RICHMOND.
Messrs. Neville md johnston save
Two Ladies' MT Ocean View.


Messrs. Joseph L. Bevile, a well-known
paper-hangcr Of No. south Pine street
and Mr.. Albert n. Johnston, saloon
keeper at New Ford's Hotel. distinguish
ed themselves IN the water at Ocean
View Sunday. and by their heroism sue
ceeded in saving the lives of two young
ladies.
Mr.. w. o. Shanks, Of Petersburg was
in the water at the time. and lost his
life In attempting TO save one of the
young ladies'. 1t was in this tragedy that
Mr. Bevile participated. He had Just re-
turned from a trip in n boat. and was
swimming in deep water with the key TO
his bathroom suspended about HIS neck.
He noticed Mr.. Shanks struggling In the
water with a young lady whom he had
been endeavoring TO teach the art of
swimming, and ascertaining that the two
were in trouble he being an expert vim
mer. FASTENED to their rescue. Reaching
them he found that the young lady was
completely overcome and that Mr.. Shanks
was unable TO save her. A few strokes
brought him abreast OF the two, and Mr..
Shanks made a frantic effort TO catch
the key suspended from Mr.. BevlIe's
neck. This the Richmonder avoided. and
grasping the young lady he struck out
for the shore. He was not able TO bring
both parties, and nc shouted with every
breath for assistance from shore for Mr..
Sharks. None came. however, and the
ill-starred man went to a watery grave
with a despairing and awful look upon his
face. which Mr. Beville says he will never
IL obi l., 20 II
Shortly after the tragedy the unfortu-
nate mans body was washed into shall
low water and was drawn ashore. Re-
storatves and two electric batteries were
applied but to no purpose. life having
already become extinct.
In the mean time excitement was run
ming high among the bathers and an
other young lady who had witnessed the
terrible tragedy. losing her presence of
mind, also went beyond her depth and
began to sink. She screamed for assist
ance and Mr.. Johnston. who was Just
entering the water, hearing her calls
and noting her distress struck out for
her. As he came up she tried to grasp
him with both hands. He lodged and
caught her in the hair just back of the
left ear with his right hand and held her
at arms length. swimming with The left
hand. He had only short distance to
swim, and soon had the young lady on the
shore. She YVES able to go to the bath
house alone. Mr.. Johnston did not ascer-
tain the name of the lady nor where she
lived. and is very modest about his part
in the affair.
The young lady rescued by Mr.. Beville
was from Indiana, but she earnestly re-
quested her rescuer TO withhold her name.
as she feared the effect of the news upon
her aged parents.
Both Mr.. Beville and Mr. Johnston are
excellent swimmers. and learned the art
in the rapids Of James river.
