HARD FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Haydeu'S Body Abandoned to Save
Others of the Party.

Forced to abandon the dead body
of Capt. Doles Hayden in order to
save the lives Of two of the rescuing
party and later returning on the ice
to secure the corpse was the harrow
ing experience OF the five men who
made the trip to the Toledo light.
After emerging from hot bath
and being safely tucked away be-
tween blankets and comforts at his
residence in the Empire apartments.
Charles NJ. Eddy told Blade report
er the details of the awful trip un-
dertaken to bring the remains OF the
husband to a SOrroWing Invalid Wld-
OW.
Mr.. Eddy had more than an ordi-
nary interest in saving for Mrs. Hay
den the body of her husband.
Though he knew the captain we'll in
life. Mr.. Eddy's heart was filled with
gratitude to the deceased, his wife
and sister, when the three several
years ago saved the life of Mr.. Eddy.
The latter was the owner OF the
yacht Myrna and while sailing the
vessel was caught in storm off the
light. The yachtsmen could not get
out of their difficulty without lines
from the dock. and with sea roll
ing over the walls Mr.. Hayden. his
wife and sister launched boat and
rescued them.
When Mr.. Eddy heard of the sad
death of Capt Hayden he at once
volunteered to be one of the rescu-
ing party and his services were ac-
cepted. His story of the deathbrav-
ing acts is more thrilling than fic-
ton. Beginning from the time the
rescuing party left the shore at War
ner's grove, Mr.. Eddy's account is
as follows:
I'VE took to the ice at Warmers
Grove at 10 o'clock Friday morning
under the leadership of Ed Jennings.

He Was Poor Once.

The little hero of the following
incident did not belong to me. In
fact from his appearance l think he
belonged to no one in particular. |
am equally sure that the fact of his
loneliness had no terrors for him. He
was ragged little urchin selling
papers on a busy downtown corner.
A stylishly gowned woman amid the
throng dropped her pocketbook.
Quick as a flash the boy seized it
and hurried after her. Touching his
cap, he handed her the heavy purse.
She thanked him very graciously
and handed him a nickel. In a tone
equally gracious he responded, "Aw,
keep your nickel; was poor once

starboard side from bow to stern. With all the
force their steam could muster they were unable

been in before.
