ped off the Vashon dock while
fishing one day last week and but
for his rare presence of mind
would probably have drowned be-

remembered his fathers injunc-

a mlshap of that kind he should
turn on his back and float, and he
did. He managed to work his way
around to the opposite side of the
dock where he knew there was a
ladder, but when he reached it he
found the lower rung broken and
he could not pull himself out that
way, so he went back to the slip
again. but the timbers were so
wet and Shiny he could not get IA
handhold; however he held on
pluckily until his playmate arriv-
ed with Mr.. Simpson from the
cannery who soon had a very wet
and cold lad safely on terra firma
and glad to get back.
