He was sitting on the} end of @ pier with his ilne between two big drift logs when he got a tug at his bait, In hia excitement the doy leaned over too far. He slipped off the atringpiece and fell between the logs. At that instant a ewell from @ etedni- boat passing along close inshore lifted the two logs and then flung them to- gether. Young Schneider was caught "| squarely between them and pinched. He screamed twice and then, the logs part- ing aa the waves washed out, began to sink, limp and senseless, into the bay. Two other boys hauled him out. His chest was crushed, but they thought he waa only unconscious, until Dr. Bay- lesa came from the Norwegian Hospital.
