 So swiftly was she carried to the reputed tbottomless hole" 75 feet off the shore that Miss Kinsella had scarcely time to scream for assistance. Mrs. Heffernan attracted the atten- ton of two men in a, boat but they were unable to reach her or make any headway against the current.

He padded rapidly toward Miss Kinsella, who had already gone down twice and was sinking for the third time when the animal sunk his teeth in the waist part of her bathing suit. struggled for a minute to keep from drowning himself, and then padded toward the shore.
 Not until the dog had reached where Mrs. Heffernan was standing g in the water did he let go his bur den. Miss Kinsel1a was assisted ashore and revived.
