for the presence of mind of Paul Need

was standing the masonry. preparing to
cross. Paul Needham. who was behind
the boy, saw the stone crack and realizing
that the dam was giving way, caught his
fellow companion by the coat tail and
pulled him back or the dam. AS the
boys feet left the stone work section
of the dam gave way with a crash and
an immense volume CT water rushed over
the broken part. 1t was a narrow es-
cape and a moment later the lad would
undoubtedly have been carried over the
dam and either killed by the falling stone
Or drowned.
The boys. who were a short distance
ahead of young Needham and his COM
panion saw the dam cave and ran for
the shore. where they stood and watched
the water rush through the opening made
by the giving way Of the masonry.
