Edward A. Dalton, 23, assistant still man, saved Gordon T. Granger, 21, gas compressor plant foreman, from suffocation, Bayonne, New Jersey, January 9, 1913. (See case of GORDON T. GRANGER.) Dalton knew that there was gas in the tank and was familiar with the nature of it. After another man had refused to descend to get Granger, Dalton tied one end of the rope around himself, and taking the other end with him, lowered himself through the manhole and dropped to the bottom. Men above held the middle of the rope, and Dalton raised Granger and tied the rope around him. Granger was drawn up, and then Dalton, who had become semiconscious, was drawn up. Dalton soon recovered. 9770-860
