ternoon, for within Is minutes he pulled
two small boys from what Is known as
the Back Bay pond. The first boys
name was Thomas Whitehead, who had
broken through the ice, but managed to
climb TO the branch OF a tree, where he
remained until brought to the shore by
young Barnes. The young man had hard
ly placed young Whitehead on the bank
Of the pond before he was told by some
small boys that there was boy about s
years old struggling in the pond. so
young Barnes rushed into the water the
second time and soon had the second boy
on shore. The water in the pond Is not
very deep. and there are many clumps
of bushes. few trees and considerable
grass, and while II is called pond Is
nothing but swamp.
