NOalHSI WIS warm IL NOuIQ De nice TO
take bath, and having no other suit,
made the plunge without stopping for a
change of clothing. Tue water proved
to be deeper than she expected. and being
unable to swim or to keep afioat in any
other way, she commenced to shout for
help. Fortunately Fred PilIsbury and
John Batchelder were near and they imme-
diately rushed to the rescue. Another
gentlemen, whose name we failed to get,
also arrived on the spot at the same time
and all three advanced bravely to the
waters edge. At this time Mrs. Massey was
just sinking for the fourteenth time, Ipos-
sibly 1t may have been the fourth, as Miss
Phillips and Mrs. Massey were both too
excited to count correctly,) when Mr..
Pillsbury succeeded in catching her by the
hair and by the combined efforts Of the
three men she was landed safely on the
shore. OF course 1t is needless to state
| that Mr.. and Mrs. Massey feel very CRATE
full to the sturdy rescuers. Mrs. Massey
was very nervous for time but she felt
| much easier when she learned that the
water was but little over two feet deep
where she took the plunge although she
feels sure that she attempted to stand on
her feet and was unable to touch the
| bottom.
