Chester W. Holmes, 16, student, attempted to save Warren L. Ilsley, 15, and Walter W. Powers, 15, students, from drowning, Boston, Massachusetts, December 20, 1910. (See case of WALTER W. POWERS.) Chester was 200 feet from Warren when he broke through the ice. He climbed over a fence and was running over the ice toward the hole when Walter broke through. The ice broke under Chester when he was four feet from the hole, and he swam between the two boys and placed a hand under an arm of each. He supported them in that manner until men arrived with a rope and life preserver and assisted them from the hole. 5959-613
