Once when he was pilot on the
Mississippi Mark Twain sat with a
crowd of men around a wood stove in
a village store Presence of mind was
being discussed, and nearly everybody
had story about presence of mind to
relate. Twain said:
"Boys, through my presence Of mind
I once saved an old mans life. 1t hap
pened this way. I was reading in my
room late at night when l heard fire
bells. strolled cut to see where the
fire was, and soon I came to brick
house that was burning hard.
"An old man leaned half way out
Of the fourth story window, and the
red flames lit up his long white hair
and beard. Help! Help he hollered.
Help! Help! And he waved his arms
around his head making wild gestures.
Everybody in the crowd below
seemed paralyzed. No ladder was
long enough to reach the old man. The
f1remen said if he stayed up there he
would be burned to death and if he
jumped he would be crushed fat.
"But I, with my presence of mind
came to his rescue. | rushed forward
and yelled for a rope. The rope was
brought to me- l threw the old man
the end. He caught it. / told him to
tie it around his, waist. He did so, and
I pulled him down.
