 Zima was making for Port Jeffer- son in a 20-foot power boat owned by William A. Flanagan, of Pleasure Beach. A heavy sea swept over the little craft, and water put the mag neto out of commission. Zima was in a perilous position when the Park City hove in sight. Saturday evening excurhonists on the Park City watched the rescue filth much interest.
