HUMAN CHAIN SAVES SWIMMER
Three Men, Swinging Like Pendulum
from Pier, Rescue an Ex-
hausted Bather.

The crowd of bathers on the Dreamland
beach, Coney Island, and a sprinkling of
the people who were seated at the resort
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and were on
the long steel pier at that hour were en-
tertained by watching the fancy swimming
of 15-year-old Benjamin Caneto, who lives
in West Fifteenth street, Coney Island.
When, however, after swimming far out
beyond the life lines the boy felt his
strength fail him and called for help none
of the swimmers nearer shore dared to go
out to him.
The lad rapidly became exhausted, and
the frightened crowd, helpless to aid him,
saw him go down. He reappeared in an
instant and continued his ever-decreasing
struggles to reach the shore, and presently
the watchers saw him sink again. Women
on the pier screamed and turned away.
Those on the beach fled toward the bath
houses, crying out for some one to go to
the lads help.
There was no one to help him, and he
was swept along by the wind and tide until
it became evident that he would be carried
beneath the outer end of the Dreamland
pier. On this was sitting. fishing, Harry
Hartgen, an employe of Dreamland. Hart
gen cannot swim himself, SO he called to
Joseph Hart.
Hart decided that it was too late to dive
from the pier before the boy would be
swept from his reach, and so he clasped
HartgeD by the legs and lowered him over
the edge OF the pier. A third man grasped
Hart in the same way, and, forming In
this way a human chain, the men waited,
Hartgen's hands swinging just clear of the
water, until Caneto should be swept within
reach.
The crowd on the beach and pier waited
breathlessly as CaEeto floated down toward
his rescuers, A groan arose, as 1t was seen
that he would probably float by, just out
Of reach of Hartgen's eager hands. But
Hart, just above Hartgen, saw what was
likely to happen, and exerting all his
strength, he started Hartgen swinging 10
and fro like the pendulum of an immense
clock. This method was effective. Caneto
floated just barely within reach, and Hart
gems fingers closed on his bathing jersey,
while a cheer arose from the watchers.
Caneto had tainted from exhaustion, and
the three men who held him and themselves
in their diffi2ult position could not raise
him to the pier.
The waves which broke against Caneto's
senseless form set the human chain to
wavering, and it appeared that Hartgen
must drop the boy unless he and the other
rescuers were to be pulled into the water
themselves. But just then somebody got q
rope, Its end was dropped 10 Hartgen, and
he managed TO a 1t fast around Caneto's
body. He called to the men on the pier
and they hauled the boy up. Again the rope
was dropped, and Hartgen held on to It
while he and his companions were pulled
back TO the pier. Then he sank exhausted
