About the same time Miss Quinn en-
tered the water 100 feet above the pier for
her afternoon swim. Miss Quinn IS an
accomplished swimmer. but she had fall

swiftly seward through the narrows at
the mouth OF the little bay.
After uncoiling his heavy line. Phillips
was prepared to impale a slippery surf
fish on the hook. when he was startled 10

One glance showed him the young woman
struggling helplessly against the heavy
tide
Phillips seized his long hand line and
with a marvelously accurate cast dropped

body. The hook caught in the skirt of
her bathing dress and the fisherman
hauled her to the pier, where she was
dragged from the water by other wit

resuscitated.
