RARE PRESENCE OF MIND

Details OF the narrow escape from
drowning of Misses Blanche Blunt and
Alma Cournough. of the Southside. in
James river several days ago have
just come to light. the affair having
been kept quiet by the young ladies
for fear Of alarming their friends,
According 10 the facts learned TEes-
mind OF the young ladies' saved their
lives, both being thrown from a launch
into the river. but by catching and
holding to trailing rouboat they man
aged to keep their heads above water
until rescued.
The launch with the little rowboat
behind was ehugglng it's way UP the
James with a merry picnic party when
a steamer in the river pioughed its
way through the water. In the trough
the launch was caught and WAS sway
ed backward and forward. Miss Blunt
and Miss Cournough were on the side
and were thrown overheard by the
heavy waves.
They screamed for assistance, but
had presence of mind enough to grasp
the rowboat and cling to II until their
friends in the launch could pull them
from The river.
Very much of the appearance of
drowned rats" they were hauled out
OF the water. and afterwards they beg
ged that the launch run slowly SO that
IL might be dark when they reached
South Richmond.
The young ladies live in Cowardin
avenue near the Christian church. and
say they are thankful no moon was
shining when they made their way
Through the streets OF the city to their
home. The ladies OF the party are
thankful that the accident was not
more serious.
