launch in the face of a stih gale ana
heavy sea the other afternoon when
she saw a small fishing smack found
arfpg around in the water. A man sat
IN the boat, and IL was quite apparent
he had lost his mast and sails and was

even more dangerous conditions. She
was bathing near the Ocean pier. where
the current was running strong after a
northeast blow. when she heard a young
man call for help. She saw him draw
under the pier, among the pilings and
started with strong strokes TO give the

bather. and with their combined efforts
she succeeded in getting him to a pl zee
of safety before the life guards arrived.
After resting a short time in shallow
water she went on with her bath.
