Ruffner received a letter from their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Andy Ruffner who live in Ramona, Calif. We feel that the heroic ex perience of Mr. and Mrs.. Ruff ner while deep sea fishing the latter part of Sept. is well worth passing on to folks here at home. The letter in part reads "We just got back from Mexico which ended up a year fishing season until next spring. We went down Sept. 16 and came back Sept. 26. We were there 10' days then went back last week end and this weekend. There was only one day trie water was too rough to go out .fishing The largest I caught was a white sea bass, he went '?1 lbs'f the rest of the fish we got would go 1 lb to 5 lbs. The little fish are the best eating anyway. The white sea bass is a half way fish and is real good eating. Last weekend we had quite an experience. It was pretty rough out in the ocean that Saturday morning, so we stayed in the Bay and fished until about noon for some halibut, and we caught quite a few. After lunch that day, we all decided to- go out fishing in the late afternoon which was very unusual for us, as we never went out fishing in the afternoon before in all the two weeks we were down there. We left camp about 4 p.m. and the ocean didn't look quite so rough so we went about a mile out of bay into the ocean and decided to do some fishing right there. We . stopped and were about ready to drop our lines when Mom thought she heard something hollering for help, seagulls make that same kind of noise when they squawk, so we started looking around and we saw a man standing on something waving his hand and hollering, about two miles straight out farther in the ocean from us. The ocean wras still pretty rough, but there was no time to go back for help, so we tried it ourselves. It was a man riding on top of his boat, which had overturned in the rough water about noon. We were in the Mexican's good wooden boat which is 14 feet long with 5V2 horse Johnson Motor, which takes the waves very well. We made it out to him alright and got him into our boat safely. We had to make him swim from his boat to ours which was only a few feet, but he was very tired from riding the boat since noon. Mom and Jo helped him overboard while I kept us away from the other boat with an oar. After he got in he asked us if we wrould pick up his buddy out of the water, he had seen him within the last hour. So we started looking for him. Fred (the fellow we just picked up) said his buddy had a blue life cushion and was wearing black clothes which is very hard to see in the water. But he was finally sited a mile up the coast from the boat, so we rescued him. If we hadn't reached him when we did, he would have drowned in about 15 minutes. He said that he almost went down four times, but he kept I ! telling himself that there would be some help pretty soon. He was about six feet tall and weighed about 200 pounds. He didn't have any strength left so we grabbed him by the belt and Margaret Dingman Phone 241 Mrs. Marion Henry recently returned from the hospital Omaha. Methodist Henry Robinson returned home recently from St. Cather ine's hospital, Omaha where he had surgery.

Carol Schreiner held a slum ber party at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vic Schreiner Friday night. pulled him overboard, while bal ancing the boat. This fellow coughed up sea water all the way to shore and I never saw anyone in such a state of shock and chills. One of us kept our arms around him all the way to shore to keep him warm as possible. There were three fellows all together, the last one we were about an hour too late, he was dead when we picked him up. The cushion had wrapped itself around his arms, that is the reason he didn't sink. He was a thin and light man; grabbing his arm, we pulled him into the boat easily. We slowly went back to shore as the Boat is only "supposed to hold four and we now had seven in it. When we. arrived at shore, we called the ambulance and it came and got the two men, and the hearse came for the other man. We've seen these men and their families, and they are re cuperating nicely. One man hav ing a slight case of pneumonia. What an experience!
