WOMAN RISKS LIFE FOR A DOG
Miss Husted, of Eton, saw a crowd on tho bank of the Thames at Windsor watching men trying to save a drowning dog by using boathooks, ft seemed hopeless. The men gave up.
The river was in flood. Miss Husted volunteered to have a rope tied round her and be lowered down the six-foot embankment into the water. She rescued the dog. "A very brave act,” the Mayor of Windsor called it a few weeks later, when he presented the R.S.P.C.A. certificate to her.
