Little Evelyn in company with Mar garet Anderson of Second Street, Brooklawn, were disporting them selves in the water during the after noon having a gay time. Both little girls took turns with a pair of water wings. Evelyn floated out beyond her depth, when in turning about she was shaken off the wings, and being un- able to swim sank below the surface.
 Walter Kenney, who had been bath ing during the afternoon. had just left the Lathing house in his street attire, his bathing suit rolled under his arm when he noticed the struggles of the little girl. Divesting himself of his coat he plunged into the water, reach ing the child just as she was about to sink for the third time. The girl was brought senseless to the shore, where she was handed over to Motorman James ONeil of the Connecticut Co. and a party of other trolley men. Ar tifical respiration was begun by the bath house attaches and the trolley men until the Volunteer Life Savers stationed at the park arrived. The little girl was removed to her home in the ambulance fully recovered. It was only through the Quickness and agility of Kenney that another death was not added to the waters toll.
