A Family's Marrow Escape from Drown
ing.-Mr. Harry Kraft, who lives at Orange
Grove, on the Patapsco river with his wife
and child had terrible experience and mar
row escape from drowning while crossing the
Patapsco river few days ago.
Mrs. Kraft and her child had been to Balti-
more and Mr.. Kraft was taking them across
the river in boat to their home on the How
ard county side. Amid stream the boat be-
came unmanageable and drifted to the breast
of the dam and hung partly over it. The dam
is 20 feet high, and the occupants of the boat
expected every moment to be dashed to death
below.
Fortunately the boat became lodged against
piece of ice. Mr.. George r. Brown, who is
employed at the G. A. Gambrill Manufactuf-
ing Company's mill, which is located on the
Baltimore county side of the river, saw the per-
ilous position of the boat, and went to their
rescue. He tied q rope around his waist and
waded through the icy water to the boat, and
succeeded in attaching the rope to it. One end
of the rope was held by some men on the
shore and the boat was pulled to land.
