RESCUE COMES
JUST IN TINE
Launchman Finds Two Small
Boys in PerilOus Plight
OH a Waterlogged Skiff
SOBS SIGNAL DISTRESS
Tide Proves Too Strong for
Young Fishermen Who Go
to Sea i'm Frail Craft

But for the timely appearance on the
scene of Harry johnson in his gasoline
launch two more young lives would
have been blotted out Tuesday night in
the waters of the bay. Johnson was
returning about o'clock from Hunters
Point. Above the choo-choo of the
launch exhaust he heard the whimper
Of child's voice. He listened and over
the waters came family the sound Of
sobbing. He slowed down and headed
the boat in the direction of the signals
OF distress. The shades of darkness
were already thick and a bitter wind
was raising whitecsps on the fast flow
ting food tide.
Early in the evening James Lantry
end Thomas Moore, 10 and IL years of
age, respectively, had started out from
Butchertown on & fishing excursion.
Their boat was e weather-worn skiff.
1t had been great fun at first, but all
the Joy died when they discovered that
rowing back against the current was a
task beyond their strength. Then an
oar slipped from the tired fingers and
the little navigators were left with only
one paddle. The wind freshened and
the little whitecaps began TO toss top
knots over the skiff's gunwale. 1t was
not long until the boat was half filled
with water. Cold and scared. the boys
sobbed into the night a plea for help
And then came the choo-choo of the
leunch's exhaust.
II took Johnson but a few seconds to
drag the stiff and trembling youngsters
from their water-logged slxiff and half
an hour later he helped them tie up
the derelict 20 the sugar refinery wharf
snd boosted the Juvenile mariners TO
the high dryness Of the bulkhead They
thanked johnson and disappeared at
full trot in the direction of home and
supper
