vicious little creatures in their efforts
to reach their companion and save his
life. All had been in swimming when
they discovered the hornets nest, and

fallen into the deepest part of the riv-
er. several of the boys ran back toward
him, but were driven almost frantic
by the poisoned stings of the hornets,
which still followed them, and which
appeared to be acting together in the
attempt to keep the rescuers away
from the spot where the drowning boy
had disappeared. A swarm of hornets
had lowered over the spot where he
disappeared, stinging him viciously as
he came to the surface
