Clarence L. Spear saved Oneita E. Hubbard from drowning, Cambridge, Maryland, January 11, 1920. Oneita, 9, broke through thin ice and fell into Cambridge Creek 150 feet from the bank, where the water was 10 feet deep. Spear, 34, automobile mechanic, skated to a point 10 feet from the hole, lay on the ice, and slid about eight feet; he then broke through and went slightly under the surface. He rose and took hold of Oneita, but she crawled upon his shoulders, causing both to go under the surface twice. Supporting Oneita, Spear trod water until a boat was brought over the ice to them, and Oneita was lifted into it. Spear was drawn upon the ice by a rope. 20201-1740
