Catherine Marshall Has
Narrow Escape.

Catherine Marshall, eleven years
old, daughter of Mrs. Catherine
Marshall, Of 1873 Lafayette place,
Tottenville, had a narrow escape
from being drowned while bathing
at the former Bay Cliff park, near A.
G. Brown and Sons shipbuilding
plant, about 4:30 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. Catherine, who Is Just
learning to swim. with two other
girls, Sarah Beauvais and Ida Dis
bury, about her age, had gone to
the dock adjoining the shipyard to
jump off, presumably to try and
make the shore.
The tide was coming In at the
time when all three holding hands,
jumped from the dock into the wat
er. Catherine, who vas in the CEN
ter, went to the bottom and came
up struggling to reach the float neal
by. She Immediately sank and
when she was going down for the
second time was grabbed by Sarah
Beauvais, of Main street, who held
on to her until both were hauled up
on the dock by two ship carpenters,
who heard the screams Of the girls.
Once it looked as If both would

but the latter pluckily held on until
both were rescued.
Mrs. Marshall, mother of the girl
who was on the dock, was almost

out of the water, she was speeches.
from fright. Willing hands soon re-
vived her and she was taken to her
home where she soon recovered from
her experience.
After the Beauvais girl made the
rescue and Catherine was safely on
shore, she mounted her bicycle and
rode to her home and back, a dis
lance of about six blocks, returning
with some stimulants.
This place has an excellent bath
ing beach, where every day more
than 200 from T~ottenville and vicin-
ity go bathing, but at this time
there was only a few in, because OF
