Bay of Emmons avenue after an heroic
effort to rescue him had been made by
Miss Helen Curran, Is years old, OF 1888

Davis had gone swimming with
Charles Markey of 159 Douglas street.
He got out into deep water and shouted.
Markey tried TO reach him, but found
II impossible, and began 10 yell too.
Davis went under, but Miss Curran had
seen him and swan quickly to the spot
where he had disappeared. She found
him and was making good headway
toward getting him to the shore when
q man, also intent on rescuing Davis,
bumped into her. causing her to lose her
grasp. She was stunned and lost her
hold on Davis, who went down again.
1t was half an hour before the body
was recovered by Robert Burke and
Charles Rogers, life guards. Efforts to
revive Davis were useless. Miss Cur
ran was so weakened by her efforts and
from the effects OF the collision with
the man that she had to be assisted to
