situation , It was evident that ho
couldn't get that big boy ashore. So
he l\Opt out of reach and watched him ,
The drowning boy lept going up and
down , swallowing wuter.
At last ho was so nearly drowned
that there was no struggle In blm ,
Then my little Loubet swam up , caug 1l
him by the hall' and towed him ashore.
It was a pretty bit of calculation. ' 1 no
big fellow was only three.purts drown'

made hlm'as good as ncw. Ono might
