HoBsoE RESCUED THE GIRL.
They We're on a Yacht Near Alton
H., When Miss Cert, of St, Louis,
Asked the Naval Hero if he
Would Prevent Her From
Drowning.

ALTON, ILL.,, July l6.-sIf / should
fall overheard would you save me,
Captain Hobson?n
Certainly, with pleasure.
There was a splash, a vision of white
skirts floating on the waves OF the
Mississippi river and the next moment
the hero of the Merrimac, Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson Of the
United States navy, was swimming
with long, powerful strokes, while a
thousand men and women on the shore
and yachts and boats shouted and
screamed.
The white arms Of May Cert, Of st.
Louis, splashed the water wildly for a
moment and then were not seen.
When Captain Hobson, lighting a
lstrong current and high waves, reached
the spot where she disappeared he
dlved. A minute later he reappeared
with the girl In his grasp. 1t seemed
that even then he would not be able to
save her, for her heavy clothing pulled
her down and the current was too
much for him to make headway
against, encumbered as he was.
But Hobson proved himself amaster
IN the art Of swimming and with well
Sustained efforts kept the girl and
himself above water while the yacht
was being brought about to their res
cue.
| After the two had been dragged on
board the boat Miss Cert was restor-
cd by vigorous pounding and drink
Of brandy.
II knew it was foolish, but knew !
would be rescued" she said rather
weakly, looking at Hobson.
The latter smiled rather grimly as
be congratulated her;then he went be
low to change his clothing.
Miss Cert Is well known In St.Lonis
The affair happened opposite the
Chautauqua grounds near Alton. Capt,
Hobson spoke at the chautauqua to
day.
