Claude M. Tournier, 21, clerk, saved James, 5; Samuel, 7, and Rose Efedducea, 9, from drowning, Auburn, New York, February 14, 1913. James, Samuel, and Rose were playing on the ice on Owasco Outlet when the ice broke at the edge. They fell into open water and drifted to points where the depth was eight feet. Tournier, who was dressed except as to coat, ran over 200 feet to the edge of the ice, jumped into the water, and swam to James, whom he grasped. He swam 15 feet with James to a man standing in shallow water and then swam to Samuel and took him to the same place. Tournier then swam 30 feet to Rose, who was unconscious, and grasped her. As he swam with her, he began to grow weak and went beneath the surface, but he reached the man with her, and she was revived. 10086-776
