tempted to turn the boat which was

23 feet from the shore but he turned
the wrong way A moment later and
the boat was In the swiftly moving
current Realizing then for the first
time that they were In danger tho
girls began screaming and the oars
man lost control of the boat Swiftly
it was carried toward tho brink of the

Inches of water was passing the en
tire eight stood up and the boat went
over stern first

torn up and as it disappeared the whole

reach shore by swimming The six
girls never rose to the surface
Tho boy who was swimming and
who proved to be Osmond became

Moore the other boy who was cling
ing to the boat floated fully a half
mile down the river and his rescuers
lhad an exciting time before they
Janded him in another boat
