CVERTURNEO 6CAT MMCST
CAUSED TRACED*
An overturned boat almost brought trag
edy to the George Black family this last
Sunday aftern©o»n. Mr. Black had his two
little girls, Patsy, age 9; and Susan,
age 6; and a little 5 year old girl,
Evonne, who was visiting at the Black
home with Mr. & Mrs. Willard Davis of
Anchorage, out for a ride on Finger Lake
In a motor boat. George Is not quite
certain Just what happened, but he thinks
that Hither the boat hit a submerged log
or one of the girls tipped the boat.
As the boat was going at a pretty good
speed, all the occupants were strung alaig
behind. Fortunately for everyone, George
was a former Red Cross Life Guard and his
previous training proved Invaluable.
However, he encountered many difficulties
In rescuing all three children. He said
that he would get one or two on tie flat
part of the overturned boat and be after
another when the ones on the boat would
slide off. Once he had all three of then
In his arms and Petsy and Evonne grabbed
each other so that he had to let go of
Susan In order to part them. Susan went
down and he had to dive to find her. For
tunately the water was clear and luck was
with him. He finally managed to get them
all on the boat at the same time. By that
tine Mr. Rockwell, owner of the beat, arr
ived with lirs. Black and they were all
taken to shore. Spectators said that ac
tually It all took place In about five
minutes.
The little girls were taken to the doctor
for & check-up, but none suffered any 111
effects from the experience, Mr. 31ack
said.
