FROM ROCKS At Shore

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 12.-one Of
the most thrilling rescues Of the
summer was made yesterday when
Charles Sheppard, of Philadelphia,

the foot Of Virginia avenue and bat
tered and cut as waves tossed him
back and forth on the rocky surface
Guards Driscoll. Scheidell and Big
game tried to maneuver a lifeboat
into a position from which they could
fling a life preserver to the struggling
Sheppard. Time and again the
lifeboat was lifted on the crest Of a
wave and started to coast 10 destruc-
ton on the projecting stones.
Finally the guards managed 10
throw a preserver in reach Of Shep-
hard. who. slipping It under his
shoulders, leaped into the ocean.
Three or four times he was in danger
OF being washed upon the ietty again.
hut the guards pulled their oars until
they had the boat and Sheppard out
Of danger. Blood was streaming from
his legs and arms as he was rushed
10 the hospital tent.
