GULFPORT GIRL HAS
MARROW ESCAPE.

The heroic plunge of Sailor Gray
on the Submarine Chaser F. c. 1856
now i'll port. probably saved Miss
Virginia Hines from watery grave
yesterday afternoon.
Miss Hines in company with Mr..
and Mrs NJ. P. Bouslog and Miss
Neicie Washington took a walk on
the Gulf and Ship Island pier and
decided to 60 aboard the chaser
which lay alongside of a barge.
There was little space between
the barge and chaser and in trying
to step from one to the other, Miss
Hines missed her footing and fell
backward into the water, entirely
disappearing from view.
Quick as a flash, Gray, who was
standing near by, plunged in and
came to the serface. with the girl,
and in little while both were
safely hauled out.
Miss Kinds only injury was
bruised hand. but suffered greatly
from the shock.
Sailor Cray whose home is In
New York. was praised for his
hei oism. .-Gulfport Herald.
Miss Hines is a niece of Mrs.
Lula Jones, of this city. and for
