PLAYMATES RUN AWAY AS
BOY ALMOST BROWNS

A boy whose name has not vet been
learned and who was wading in a
pool of water known as Frog Pond"
Harrison. this afternoon, was sudden
ly seized with cramps and sank for
the last time when he was pulled out.
The rescuer was Peter Masker, of II
Paterson street, Harrison. an employee
OF the New Jersey Steel Tube Works,
which is near the pond DIR. Henry
Alters who was summoned, worked
for a half hour before he finally re-
stored the boy to consciousness. He
was then taken to ST. Michael's Hos
pital, Newark, in the Harrison police
ambulance.
The youngster, who is about years
old, had gone to the pond with five
other boys. They had been wading
for some time when the boy who is In
the hospital screamed and went down.
His playmates, frightened, ran away.
Masker saw them run and heard their
screams. He hurried to the pond and
as he reached the drowning lad saw
him sink from view for the last time.
Without even taking off his hat, Mas
ker jumped in, and after diving a few
times brought the then unconscious
lad to the surface. A crowd that had
gathered cheered him as he laid the
youth upon the bank. DIR. Alters was
summoned and he worked heroically
1t was at first thought that the young
ster would not survive. The physician
was helped materially by Patrolmar
John Ward and others who had gath
cred.
When he was finally restored to con-
sciousness the boy was carried to the
office of the tube works and the am
bulance was summoned. The vehicle
In charge of Chief of Police Michael
Rodgers, arrived in record breaking
time.
When the excitement was at its
height Mrs. Elizabeth Brady. who lives
several blocks from the pond, was in
formed that her son William had been
drowned. She hurried to the pond, and
casting hasty glance at the victim
said 1t was her son and tainted. A
number of women who were present
attended her, and when she was re-
vived she looked at the body and de-
clared that she had made a mistake.
The pond where the accident oc-
Cured is located between Hamilton and
Cross streets. and fronts on Kingsland
avenue. The youthful element of The
town use it to great extent. Tho
pond is a treacherous one, several boys
having met death there. The Harrison
Common Council will likely be asked
to arrange to have the pond filed in.
