and then a search vas begun for the
young trumpeter. His clothes were found
on q dock where he left them. but Pru-
Iiker had disappeared Finally, after the
boy had been under water for nearly
fifteen minutes. the swimmers summoned
help. and men put out in rowbosts 10

several companions left the barracks at
Eighth and G streets southeast and went

nearly thirty feet deep OF the dock. and
PruHker. who could not swim was afraid
20 go into the stream.

suit and walked TO q spot beneath the
end OF the bridge where the water IS
shallow The boy was alone. and waded
out until the water reached higher than
his waist He PLAYED about, splashing
and submerging himself. but remaining
near the shore.
Il IS thought the boy stepped into 2
