TWO HEROES AVERT
A SEWER TRAGEDY
Swife Current in Big Main
Carries Four-year-old
Boy 200 Feet.

New York, March 11.-That Edward
James Burrell, four years old. is alive
following his fall into a sewer at
Eighty-shfxth street and East End av-
enue and his being carried along
through the snow and slush more than
two hundred feet, is due solely to the
heroism of Police Lieutenant Michael
Mulhall and Lea Keiser. The boy
was practically uninjured.
Hundreds of persons, including the
mother of the boy. watched Muihall
and Keiser climb down into the sewer
with a lantern, where they fought
their way through the swift moving
slush until they finally came upon the
boy. Then they carried him back.
and when they emerged with the child
in their arms they were greeted with
cheers.
Accompanied by his mother, Mrs.
Matilda Burrell, and friend. the boy
was walking along East End avenue
They started to cross the street. Ste
phen Gray was pushing piles of snow
into a manhole which he had opened.
The youngster was walking behind
his mother, and when she happened to
look around he had disappeared.
Mrs. Burrell shouted for help and
soon several policemen arrived. One
of the boats of the harbor squad, COM
manded by Mulhall, was at the foot
of East Eighty-seventh street, and 1T
was hurried to the foot of East Eigh-
ty-sixth street. Several of the police
men went to the outlet of the sewer.
While Mulhall with a lantern went to
the open manhole.
Accompanied by Keiser, who volun'
teered to go down Mulhall climbed
down. The manhole which is twelve
feet deep and five feet in diameter.
was found clogged at the bottom with
snow and slush. The two men pushed
this aside and then stepped into the
| water
Walking along the bottom of the
sewer with slush at times above their
waists, the two men experienced great
,, difficulty At times they nearly lost
their footing, and were compelled to
cling to each other as they walked
along, owing to the odors and the
darkness.
Whenever the two came to man.
hole they would throw up the cover
ing, thus giving those in the street
signs as to their progress. Mrs. Bur
rell, distracted. followed their move
ments, and all the time kept crying
and pleading with them to recover her
boy.
After working their way toward the
river for a distance 70 more than two
hundred feet Mulhall heard a cry
He and Keiser hurried forward and
struggling on the top of a pile OF
snow they found the boy. He was
nearly unconscious from his exper
fence and almost covered with mud
and snow.
Grabbing the boy up, Mulhall lifted
him out of the sewer and then wrap
ped his coat about him. Then he and
Keiser, who was carrying the lantern
made their way back, which was far
more difficult than the going for they
had to 60 against the running water
