Ciara Ilall, aged 19, and Ethel Herrick, aged 18, both of Granel Rápida, were drowned in Lake Michigan at Ottawa beach. They were bathing north oí the pier and were on the spring board when Miss Ilall was awept off by a wave and Miss Herrick dove in to save her. Both screamed frantically for help. A row boat quickly went to the reseue, but was too late, as the young ladies were caught by a wave and thrown into the undertow which sucked them vinder and out of sight. The young ladies belonged to well-known families, their fathers being prominent business men.
