Insane From Grief.
CAPE MAY CouRr HOUSE, NJ. (Special).-
In an effort to rescue her two sons from
drowning Mrs. Enoch Stevenson lost her
life. Both her children persisted, and their
father, who fastened to the aid OF his wife,
was taken from the water unconscious. A
minute more and he would have gone down
20 rise no more.
The two boys, ten and thirteen years old,
we're sliding 0 n the Ice OF the mill pond
lear the Stevenson home. From her work
N the house the mother could watch them.
Time and again she looked out to see them
playing on the apparently solid ice. Going
20 the door she called them to com home.
sYou must come In now" she said.
.All right" they cried. and. boy like.
home, having one more slide on the way.
In the apparently solid part Of the pond
there was an area OF rotten ice. Through
this into the water far beyond their depth
the lads went, one a fter the other. Their
terrified screams announced their peril to
heir mother. She hurried to the pond,
calling to themthat she was coming, and
attracting the attention OF the father as
she ran By her cries for help.
When she reached the pond the little fell
lows we're catching hold Of the ice, which
kept breaking as they grasped It. She ran
to the edge to Eelp them, and her weight,
with that OF the boys clinging to 1t. broke
the Ice and presipitated her into the water.
The father was on the bank coming to
her and shouting words OF encouragement.
Seeing how treacherous the ice was he
threw himself fiat when he reached the
opening, Their many feet In circumference,
whore his wife and children we're strug-
Cling. But in his efforts to reach his wife,
who was nearest to him OF the three, he
lost his balance just as his fingers almost
were touching his wife.
The screams OF the family had caused
neighbors to run to the spot. They broke
a path from the shore to the opening In
the road, and managed to drag the uncon-
ecious father out more dead thar alive.
He was resuscitated. When ne regatned
consciousness and learned he was the only
one Of the family saved, his grief was SO
great that It is feared his mind may become
F.. unbalanced.
