Louis and Adam Brenning. brothers,
famous for their avoirdupois and well
known as market hunters. saved
Manuel Aurelia and two women from
drowning on Friday afternoon in the
Raccoon Straits. Aurelia was showing
his lady friends the beauties of the
Marin shore from a small sailboat
So engrossed was he in pointing out
the different places Of interest that he
neglected his sheet. and when a squall
came along over went the yawl. Louis
and Adam were on their ark, hauled up
for repairs in a cove on the Angel
Island shore They saw the disaster
and put off in their boat to the rescue.
With such a will did they bend to the
oars that first Louis and then Adams
snapped. With the bottom boards OF
their boat they padded the rest OF the
way When they reached the cap
sized yawl Aurelia and the two women
were hanging TO the keel of the boat,
cold, scared and exhausted. On the
Brenning ark the shipwrecked trio were
cared for, and the adventure would
never have been known If Louis and
Adam had not come to the city yes
terday to buy new oars.
