Narrow Escape From Drowning

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING

A Young Lady Rescued By Her Companion

They Were Canoeing on the Huron, When Their Boat Was Overturned

   Miss Elma Jenkins and George Crawford had a narrow escape from drowning Friday afternoon while canoeing on the Huron river. In some way the canoe was overturned and the occupants were thrown into the water. Mr. Crawford is an excellent swimmer, but he had a great deal of difficulty in rescuing his companion as she -was dressed in a very heavy golf skirt, which pulled her under the water in spite of his efforts to save her.

   Miss Jenkins showed remarkable presence of mind and aided by her efforts, Mr. Crawford was enabled to swim to shore.

   The canoe, however, floated off down stream and is probably still pursuing a peaceful journey.

   Miss Jenkins and Mr. Crawford are students, who had only just returned to Ann Arbor.
