that Mr.. Torpey's sight was not the

Main street, who happened to be look
ing after his boat in the immediate
vicinity, hearing a cry for assistance,
bravely jumped in and brought him
into shallow water, wnere he held him
uD until Sergeant Neary and two boys
arrived, on the scene in a punt. Mr.
Torpey was taken out unconscious anG
