DREW PLAYMATE TO SAFETY
Doy'e Coolness and Presence of Mind
Saved Little Girt from Death
by Drowning.
Remarkable bravery and presence
| of mind were recently shown hv a
- \-year-ohl boy named John Collins,
the sou of a farm hthorcr living at
Marilon, Kent, England. Several
thildren were playing on the side
of a stream, when Isabel Briant, a
girl aired seven, fell into five feet of
water. Thereupon a panic ensued
among th.- of I. r children, who ran
off crying to tell her parents, but the
boy, J" Co!! ns, ti -played the ut-
most did presence of mind.
Breaking a long 1 rani h from an ash-
sucker ti.-ar I . he qii ckly ran along
a plank, onlv 11 iml s wide, nnd
held the branch out to the drowning
girl, who was a ' to L-rasp it. Then
wnl ng along the plank the boy
pulled the ud 11 fc t through the
water to siune brickwork, where,
after a hard -fniggle, lie succeeded
iu landing her just as the terrified
parents camo running 011 Ihe spot.
In giving his ver-ion of the rescue
