SWIMMER IN TROUBLE
A GALLANT RESCUE. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Oamaru, February 2. Whilst swimming in a pool a few hundred yards above the Waitaki dam Mrs Tusher, who was a learner, got into difficulties. Two girls, Doris Stephenson (aged 13 years) and Jean Anderson (aged 12) went to her rescue but Mrs Tusher, struggling desperately, pulled the girls under with. her. Mrs Stephenson drew the attention of a young man, A. Nash, who promptly went to their assistance, bringing Mrs Tusher to shore. The girls were able to make the shore without assistance. The action of Nash is all the more commendable as he learned swimming only since Christmas.
