time the incident was not reported
to the police. Miss salmons, when
asked concerning the incident, re-
piled Il was nothing moro than ones
duty toward another. This IL the
third narrow escape from drowning
this month.
Miss salmons heard her COM
panion's cries for help. and saw her
being drawn into deep water by an
eddy. She went TO her rescue and
brought her safe TO shore. Both
