DESERVES CARNEGIE MEDAL
Heroism of James Ramsay Should Be Rewarded
The heroism of James Ramsay in pulling two boys about
his own age from
the water and undoubtedly saving their lives near Sturgeon Bay July 10
deserves
recognition with a Carnegie Medal. Word
of the affair was kept quiet and the boys made light of it at first
through
fear of alarming their parents and relatives.
A number of
the boys from
here were picking cherries near Sturgeon Bay and at this time had gone
to swim
at the stone quarries. Chester Morris was assisting Gail Kennedy in
learning to
swim and the two were warned by James Ramsay who was swimming out
farther from
shore that they were getting to deep water. Just at that time the
bottom dipped
precipitately and before Chester could turn Gail back they were in deep
water
and Gail, becoming frightened had grabbed Chester about the neck so he
could
make little headway.
After
warning the other boys
of the depth James dove and when he came up from under the water could
see
nothing of them. He immediately swam to their assistance and succeeded
in
getting them to shore although he had to break young Kennedy’s
hold on him at
one time and catch him in a different place so that he could not
interfere with
his efforts.
After they
reached shore
Chester was able to walk about half a mile to their quarters, with
assistance,
but when he reached there became unconscious and remained so for about
two
hours. A doctor was called and succeeded in expelling a large quantity
of water
from his lungs. James and Gail suffered little from their experience
and all
are all right although Chester was rather sore for sometime after.
James and Chester are 16 years old and Gail 15.
Mrs. A.V. Classon entertained a number of friends Friday afternoon at auction bridge at her home on Main street. A dainty five o’clock luncheon was served. Mrs. R.H. English received first prize and Miss Gae Ferguson the consolation trophy. A most enjoyable afternoon was spent.
