R. FRANK BERNIER
 RESCUES TWO MEN
 FROM THE HARBOR
Drowning Man and Would Be Helper Saved From
 Death in Water.

A daring and heroic rescue was eff fectedh today by R. Frank Bernier, a clerk on Wall street. living at 352 Warren street, when at the risk of his own life he plunged into the wa ters of the Pequonnock river and pulled two drowning men to safety.
 The occurrence happened shortly after noon when an intoxicated va grant sleeping on the string piece of the dock at the foot of Wall street fell between the pier and the barge Ma jestic"' of the Red Ball line made fast alongside. The unknown man sank immediately and seeing his predica- ment another drunken 1ounger about the place plunged in after him. Both rose to the surface but. sank innne- diately in a grasp which meant death to both.
 Hearing the cries of affrighted doclmen who stood petrified at the sight of the drowning men, Bernier, who is we'll known as a newspaper ffnd magazine distributor in the em- pIoy of Walter Schneider, ran from his office at 4 Wall street with a rope. Seeing the predicamen of the men he handed the end of the rope to. one of the men on the dock and grasptng the other plunged into the water. The rope was too short and his grasp failed. But he managed to grab the men as they came up again and with the assistance of those who had gath cred on the string piece pulled them to safety. Both were overcome but the efforts of the spectators soon brought them to consciousness when both vagrants began abusing each other as they walked off in the direc- ton of water street. where they dis apeared little daunted by their bedraggled condition and their recent peril.

 When MT. Hichens placed the locale of his story in the desert. called the Garden of Allah" by the Arabs, he not only provided a fascinating and picturesque environment, but he un- folded it. in an atmosphere which breathes myst icisn and engenders as- ceticisn1. The early herInits lived in Egypt and retired to the desert to live. St Anthony, who founded Christian naoaasticism, led a hermetical life in the desert for many years. No one who has lived in the desert for even few days can have failed to feel it's mystical lure it's promise of the peace that passes all understand
 And when MT. Hichens and Mary Anderson (tIIe latter pleasantly re- n1embered by the older generations as Americas grea test tragedienne) began to cola borate for the dramatic pro- duction of the story, it was recognized that success would depend largely on how we'll the desert, it's life it's atmos- phere, it's very spirit, were reproduced Adv.
