TWO RESCUED FROM WATER
IN THIS VICINITY YESTERDAY

Two near drownings in the waters
in this section yesterday were re-
ported this morning. John Schally,
of Sprague avenue, Tottenv1lle,
while sailing on Raritan Bay about
10 O'Clock yesterday morning, was
rescued by the crew of the Raritan
Bay Life Saving Corps, when his boat
capsized about mile off shore.
Schally, who was elinging to the up
turned boat was brought to shore by
Captain Peters and the crew of the
Life Saving Corps and treated at the
station. He was later able to go to
his home. His boat was brought to
the shore by the life savers.
While Thomas Woodburn, of But
Ter avenue, Tottenville, was return
ing home from Boynton Beach after
having rowed man from the Main
street dock at Tottenville, to that
place, he picked up man in Staten
Island sound off Ronalder's Beach
Kreischeryille, who was going down
for the last time. Woodburn heard
the man calling for help and rowed
toward him. He grabbed him by the
hair, and succeeded in getting him
into his boat after much difficulty.
The man whose name could not be
learned, was taken to shore, where
he was rolled on barrel and artifi-
cial respiration sresorted to. Within
a short time he recovered sufficiently
to go to his home in Newark He,
with party of friends, had come
down to Kreischerville in a power
boat for days outing.
Several of the party had gone in
bathing in the afternoon and the
young man, who, it is said, was a
good swimmer, was seized with a
cramp and would have drowned If
Woodburn had not reached him as
he did. The others on shore did not
hear him calling for help, it is said,
or else they thought he was fooling,
as no one made any move to rescue
him.
