the Norwegian's invitation to come

also called to his door in response to
the "w0man in white" rapping. Franks
experience was similar to those OF

Saves Drowning Boy by Diving Into
Water Through Large Hole
in the Ice.

Lynn. Mass.-Runnlng out 200 yards
over the ice in the Saugus river here
George White reached "A water hole
in which he had seen a boy disappear.
He dove twice beneath the surface
and located and rescued ten-year-old
George GirOurillis.
As White rose to the surface OF the
open water a cake of ice came drift
ing by. On this he placed the uncon-
scious boy and propelled his strange
craft TO the edge of the former ice.
Twenty people who saw the little
boy break through and disappear be-
meath the ice dared not aid In the
rescue. Every step White took the
fast melting Ice bent beneath his
weight.
Arriving on shore, White turned his
attention to the boy, and by giving
him first aid revived him until a po-
lice ambulance could be summoned.
Police Captain Broad of the Lynn
police stated he would communicate
the story Of the daring rescue TO the
Carnegie Hero society.
