Pacific in a small boat today. From
the shore he watched the oarsmen bat
tie in vain against the high waves whicn
broke over the little craft. When he
saw the rudder carried away he realized
that the boat soon would founder and
suddenly it was overturned by great
comber. Without hesitation Arnott, who
is one OF the best swimmers on this
part OF the coast. knotted 4 rope around
his waist and plunged into the surf.
W aiding out until the water reached his
neck, he struck out for the overturned
boat. On reaching it he made the rope
fast to a ring in the stern board and
those on shore Immediately pulled it
taut. Then Arnott assisted the seven
men Laundering in the water to reach
the rope and they pulled themselves
ashore hand over hand.
