On Saturday, three children named


Whitehead, living in .-Utham, had a narrow escape from drowning in the river Calder. It is not (.lelinitcly known how the child­ ren came to be in the Water, but it is sur­ mised that they had waded in for a liall they hail been jilaying with, and they were cut off from the bank by a heavy overflow of water. The water sireedily reached the waist of the eldest girl, and submerged the youngest, but its head was held above the water hv the older one.


l'’ortunately


yomig man from Read observed their pre­ dicament. He was on the side of the river furthest away, and shouted to the children to retain tlieir position until he .could home ronlid- He then dasheil across the bridge, and ran along the op­ posite bank, 'and got the three children safely to the bank. Two men named Coe and Lamliert joined him there. They, having .seen the children in the water, had jumped over the wall which separates the river from the roadside.


'I'he children


h.ad been so long in the icy water that they were completely helpless. The three men each took a little one in their nrms, and removed them home. The inmost credit is due to the voimg man from Read, for his ])romptnes.s undotdrtcdly saved the children from drowning.
