Simons was known to be strong
swimmer, and his friends expected to
see him striking out vigorously for
the landing. Instead of this, how
ever, when they reached the end of
the pier he was out of sight Her
man Froelich, of 1915 Broadway, a
New York real estate dealer, threw
off his scoat and shoes and dived as
soon as Simons rose to the surface.
Froelich fought desperately to draw
the drowning man after him to lad
der which runs from the pier to the
waters edge. He was nearly ex-
hausted when he reached the side OF
the pier, where several stood ready
on the ladder to lift him out of the
water with the unconscious man.
When Simon was taken upon the
pier it was found that in falling his
head had struck one of the piling
timbers.
