turer OF North Windham. by quick and
heroic action on Friday afternoon saw
ed the life of Mrs. W. L Nichols Of
North Windham. With other people
he was at what is known as the
swimming hole" below William Sih-
iey's mill. With a number of other
people Mrs. Nichols was in bathing.
She was on the other side of the river
and started to swim across. In doing
SO she tried to touch bottom and lost
her nerve when she couldn't tocch bot
tom. 1t is quite deep at the place in
question. She was seen sinking twice.
Then Mr.. Harris who was fully dress
ed. without removing any Of his
clothes dove into the river and swan
towards Mrs. Nichols. When he reach
ed the point where she was he had to
dive to grasp her. Then with consid-
cradle difficulty he was able to get her
ashore. Mrs. Nichols recovered from
the narrow escape from death. Mr.
Harris quick action and his ability to
land her safely on shore Is most COM
