could not swim, jumped from the boat
where the water was deeper than he
thought landed in a deep hole and went
down. He called for help but the other
two thinking he was fool1ng them palo
no attention. at first and Gillian swan
on to shore. Allen seeing he was IN seri-
orc trouble went to his assistance as
soon as possible and reached him just as
his hands were going out of sight. He
crashed his hands and succeeded IN pull
ING him into the boat although it was a
Drettv difficult task as EMERSON was so
nearly gone as to be dead weight.
Allen rowed to shore and together with
GiliIlan they succeeded in resuscltat1ng
him after Is minutes. twas a very mar
row escape and much credit is due james
Allen who showed great presence OF
mind.
