The two families had been spending

to go in bathing. Mrs. Heansler was
little timid about getting very far
from the shore, and, as she went out,
struck a hole where the water was
IA feet deep. Spaulding, seeing her
predicament, started after her, and
at the same time two boys in a boat
went to the rescue. Spaulding went
down.
The boys pulled Mrs. Heansler into
their boat, but the current carried
them away from Spaulding, who
drowned before help could arrive.

arise, Why is there such a large area
in Michigan still undeveloped, and
why, if the undeveloped lands in the
state are desirable, have they not been
converted into farms that would be
producing crops long ago.
