Morsue Keeper and Boy Struggling
in Current Saved From Drowning.
New York Herald: An empty coffin
was the means of saving the lives of
Samuel Kessler, 6 years old, Of East
One. Hundred and Twentieth street,
and his rescuer, John Moran, keeper
of the Harlem morgue, late yesterday
afternoon, when the boy fell into the
Harlem river at the foot of East One
Hundred and Twentieth street.
Samuel, with SOME of his play
mates, was playing on the pier with
a dog, throwing sticks into the water
for the animal to retrieve. The dog
got tired Of leaping into the water
after a time. so Samuel seized him
and tried to throw him in. The dog
caught hold OF the lads coat and hung
on for dear life.
In the struggle to release himself
from the dogs grip Samuel and dog
both tumbled into the water. The
ashore, but Samuel, being unable to
swim, was carried by the swift cur
rent down toward One Hundred and
Nineteenth street.
Attracted by the other boys shouts
for help, Moran, who was. standing on
the morgue pier, between One Hun
bred and Twentieth and One Hundred
and Nineteenth streets, dived into the
river" and SWAN after the lad. On
account OF the strong current at this
point of the Harlem river Moran did
not overtake him until near One Hun
dred and Nineteenth street. He got
Samuel to put his arms about his
neck and started to swim back. g.
Caught in a swirl Of cross currents
as they approached the morgue pier,
xrescuer and rescued came near being
carried beyond aid, when some work
men at the morgue slid an empty cof-
fin such as are in use at the morgue,
into the water. After a hard strug-
gle Moran was able t. reach it and
held on until a line was thrown him.

While he was working ove the lad,

all right.
