A Narrow Escape From Watery
Grave.

A happy party of ten lett Wacha-
preague Monday afternoon for Cedsr
Island 10 the launch : Little WOLF
owned by Mr.. Lee Jan rs. The MEM
bers OF this party were Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee James, Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Fos-
que, Miss Louise Powell, Mr..
Muscoe Bulman and Rev. ]. A. VIM,
of w achapreague, and Misses Effie
and Nellie Fleming, OF Baltimore.
Soon after reaching the Island the
party donned their bathing suits
and joyously went for dip In the
surf. Not far from the shore Is a mar
row slough. where the water Is deep,
lust beyond which Is a sand bar,
where the breakers are high and the
bathing fine. The gentlemen OF the
party and the Misses Fleming swan
across the deep water to the bar.
After a short while Messrs. VIM and
Fosque returned for Miss Powell;
this young lady who could not swim,
became frightened, when she real
lied she could not touch bottom,
making 1t difficult for the men to
struggle against her and the tide.
Feeling that they were giving out,
they called to Mr.. Bulm an who was
standing on the bar with the Misses
Fleming, and he Immediately went
to their aid. By this time the peril
was imminent, and looked as though
the four must succumb to a watery
grave. Wild screams for help reached
the shore and Mr. James with rare
presence of mind seized 10 foot
board and with all possible haste
pushed it to the sinking crowd, Mr..
BuIman seized the board and brought
ashore the almost lifeless form Of
Miss Powell.
During the half hour they were re-
| suscitating her, tie two Baltimore
girls stood alone on the bar, not
knowing what moment they might
be swept into the slough by the
breakers or caught by the rising
tide, yet no screams did they utter
but patiently waited until they were
advised what to do.
When Mr.. VIM came to accompa-
ny them to the shore the water had
nearly reached their necks. The
words of encouragement given by
Mr. VIM enabled the girls to swim
by his side to shallow water where
they were met with ropes and breads.
Great heroism and courage was dis
played by all in their desperate strug-
gle for life. Miss Powell is improv-
ing rapidly.
