On the way to shore the waves
swamped the tender and its occupants
were thrown into the sea- The launch
was powerless to give mem any help.
Its pilot did not dare stop or turn
about. The captain had all he could do
to get his niece into the yacht. Miss
Reifsnyder could not swim, and she
was sinking when her friend, who was
a good swimmer, seized the unconscious
girl and held her head above water until
some one threws a life preserver from

heroic young woman was able to keep
herself and her. helpless companion
above tho waves until a passing yacht
came to their rssche. The commission
voted Miss Titus q silver medal and
$4,000. and no one has ever complained
that the reward was unGeservcd.
