RESCUES MAN WITH
DOG AS BUOY"
Boy Saves Drowning Man With
Help Of Animal

Using his dog "Spud" as buoy,
''Dorie" Leslie. seventeen years old,
made a gallant rescue OF Alfred Mey-
ers, a Philadelphia cottager, from the
ocean on New Hampshire avenue al
Atlantic City, n. J.
Meyers went into the surf for a dip.
When fifty yards from shore he was
caught in cross currents that sweep
out around a series of jetties. The
swimmer soon tired out and found he
could make no headway and called for
help.
The boy and dog were playing on
the beach, but Immediately responded,
"Dorie" going into the water without
waiting to remove his clothing, and
"Spud" trailing close behind him. He
had taught the dog to tow him about
in the water, and so when they reach
cd the side of the drowning man
"Dorie" placed Meyers hands on the
dogs collar and headed him for the
shore.
They had a tremendous struggle
with the currents and for a time II
seemed that they would be swept on,
through the old Inlet channels and
into a veritable raeway where the cur
rents join the rougher waters beyond,
but "Dorie" used his head and man
aged to swing by with his buoy and
burden and reach the shore.
