Lawrence. July IA narrow wood
en- walk, leading over Is feet of water
to the municipal bathhouse in the
Merrimac river, gave way under a
crowd of impatient boys and at least
twelve Of the little fellows were
drowned. There may be more bodies
in the stream.
The boys, ranging from nine to fif-
teen years. were waiting for the bath
house keeper to open the door. No
one knows how many there we're in
the party, but it is thought that forty
is a conservative estimate. The boys
were jumping up and down as they
shouted for admission, when the sup
ports sank and the walk extension
dropped like a trap door.
Some Swim to Safety.
There is swift current at this
point, drawn by the falls, a quarter OF
a mile below. Many of the boys could
Tot swim. Witnesses on the river bank
say that all disappeared in a flash, but
a moment later there was a struggling
mass on the surface. The stronger
ones, who could swim, struck out
bravely for the boathouse and a score
saved themselves Their cries brought
aid and several others were pulled
ashore. Five unconscious forms were
brought from the water and two OF
these were finally resuscitated. Eff
forts to restore the others were futile.
It was thought at first that only
three drowned and it was not until
two hours later that1the probable loss
of life was realized. A boy in the
crowd of distracted persons on shore,
missing his chum, set up a cry:
II don't see Rol1ie. He must be
drowned"
Boats and graphing irons were then
brought and the river bed was drag
ged. When the work ceased late at
night IL bodies had been recovered.
