A woman’s heart stopped boating for a quarter of an hour. Then it went on again—and she lived. It stopped beating when she fell into the sea at Thorpe Bay, Southend, England, a few weeks ago. It began beating again after a policeman had continued artificial respiration for a quarter of an hour, following her rescue from the water by Mr Arthur Hayden, of Romford, who waded in.

The woman was Mrs Winifred Warren, aged fifty-eight
