Thrilling Escape from Drowning at 
Essex, 
If a drowning accident is consid- 
ered a first-class item of news, what 
is a thrilling escape of three persons, 
—one man and two girls? 
Sarah Story and Leslie D’Entre- 
mont were in bathing on the beach 
in front of the boat buildings of 
Lyman James. Sarah could swim 
and was trying to teach Leslie how. 
Sarah is much taller than Leslie and 
she took Leslie out beyond her 
depth. When Leslie lost her footing 
she became frightened and clung to 
Sarah. Sarah being out up to her 
neck lost her footing. The tide at 
this point runs very swift and both 
young women were borne rapidly 
from shore. Leslie’s hold was such 
that Sarah could neither save her- 
self nor Leslie. Otis O. Story was 
on the bank working on a boat. He 
saw something was wrong and 
plunged in after the two girls. No 
sooner had he reached the girls than 
he was almost disabled by their 
clinging to him. If it had not been 
for the swift running current he 
could have done something. He 
could wrench himself away and save 
himself, but he had no thought of 
that. He had almost given up hope. 
All at onee he thought of a boat 
moored in the stream. The boat, he 
remembered had a line out at the 
stern; if he could get hold of that 
rope they might yet be saved. He 
managed to guide the struggling 
pair toward the boat. When nearly 
opposite, with a mighty effort: he 
freed his hands and dove for the 
rope. He just managed to get hold 
of it. <A little careful maneuvering 
and he drew himself to the boat— 
and the girls, one by one, more dead 
than alive, were saved. 
Mr. Story thinks that had it not 
been for that boat being anchored 
where it was they all would have 
drowned. The boat proved to be the 
gasolene launch Lelia A., owned by 
Frank E. Raymond. This boat had 
not been in the water for two or 
three years and had been launched a 
few days before—shall we say 
luckily? Is it not better to say 
providentially, that these three lives 
might be saved. 
Strange how a erisis lke this 
effects different persons! Three or 
four of the playmates of the girls 
were on the bridge watching the ac- 
cident. They were badly frightened. 
They saw the trio go down once, 
twice and they did not think to go 
for help, but when they thought 
they must go down for the third 
time they turned their backs and 
shut their eyes that they might not 
see the horrible sight. ;
