RESCUE MAN
FROM DEATH
IN SWAMP
Help Reaches Stranger just
as lie Had Sunk Into
Earth Up to Ills Neck.

Patrolman Roam, of the Seventh
street station. Jersey City, was patrol
ing his beat in the vicinity of Seven
teenth street early today, when h,
heard the apparent cries of distress o.
a man who seemed to be about fifty ol
seventy-five feet out in the swamp Of
that section of the city. The swamp is
ponds and the mud is worse than
quicksand.
AS soon as Policeman Roam located
the spot from which the cries emanated
he sent in an alarm to No. Truck
Company and also a message to the
Seventh Street Police Station. The
truck, manned with firemen and the
station house reserves, began a desper-
ate effort to save a human life. The
cries had become weaker, but quick
ears of firemen and policemen had
caught the words:
Hurry, for Gods sake, or you'll be
too later
The man in the swamp evidently
knew that efforts were being made to
save him. After that cry all that could
be heard was a faint lulling sound.
Hurriedly a 75-foot ladder was run
out across the swamp to where the
cries had last been heard, and at the
risk of his own life Policeman Roam
climbed across the rungs with rope
noosed at one end.
Day was just breaking, and in the
dim light, guided by the bubbling
sounds of low means, Roam suddenly
came upon man sunken in the mud
and water up to his chin. BY strenuous
exertions he succeeded in getting the
moose of his rope under the mans arms,
and, with the help of a fireman, sue
ceeded in dragging the man out. For
tunately his weight was but about 1870
pounds. Before he could be extricated
from his perilous position he had be-
come unconscious and remains in that
condition. He is now at st. Franciss
Hospital. 1t is impossible to obtain his
name or address or how he wandered
into the swamp.
