he was brought to snore
We had got about onethird of the
distance across the river when I and
donlj felt as if I woro sinking In an
other mlnuto I felt the cold water
about my legs I
Albeit Graham who was running
the boat shut down the power but It
was too late I looked at Graham and
noticed he was very pale but he did
not say a word My brother and I
who arc both good swimmers start
ed to get loose from the boat and I
ycllecl to him to dive Wo went over
board and came up together lIe made
a grab for mo but I was suddenly
dragged under water by a fellow who
grasped me by the waist and I went
down the second time
I was pulled under the water and
had just Limo enough to take a
breath as we went down Under tho
surface tho man let mu go and I camo
to the lOll nnd began to swim for

i the boat went on Some one on
board called out
Ton are crazy and that was the 1
only response to my cries for help I I
Had It not been for John Deer tho
brave fisherman through whose ef I
forts eight men were saved there
would have been but two survivors
out of the thirty persona who start

Deer lived In a houseboat moored
along the shore and helped run the
J i ferryboats He was in the boat house
when he heard cries for help Hur
licdly jumping Into a skiff he rowed
Into the middle of the stream and
with such hell as those he rescued I
could give him pulled eight men out
of the water Those were all tho
survivors except two who swam ashore j

passed up slream whilu the men were
in the watclp Hearing cries for help I
the oincers of the boat had ho
searchlight turned on the water Vhon
they saw Deer rowing out Into tho
river they apparently thought tho
1 cries for help wore made by persons
calling to the oarsman and shut oft
their light parsing on up stream with
out stopping nnd without the knowl
edge that they had been passing over i
the forms of a lot of their struggling
drowning fellowmen I
