A third youih swam out to the island to aid the| two lads in reaching the Douglas; Island shore. He safely took Woro- bet’s companion across the stretch of water, but before he could return t4 the smaller island, young Worobec had gone in over his head and be- come panic-stricken. After being pulled under several times by Woro- bec's struggles, the rescuer was fore- ed to break loose, after which he was not again able to contact the| drowning youth.
