The uncertainty and risk which
accompanies the use of water wings
by beginners who venture beyond
their depth, was demonstrated by a
girl at Bayard's beach last Satur-
day afternoon. The beach was UNI
usually quiet for Saturday afternoon
and to this circumstance the girl
owes her prompt rescue. Hearing a
shout for help, william Hewitt of
27S Rector street. who was sun
ming himsotf plunged to the rescue.
Swimming out to the girl he found
that she was thrashing about wildly
attempting to keep on the surface of
the water. A pair of water wings
floating serenely seward was the
cause of the disturbance. Hewitt
easily towed the girl to shore, where
it was found hat she had suffered
little more than a scare. On being
revived she sat on the beachf for a
short time and then went into the
water again little the worse for her
adventure.
