Francis T. Smith, 43, engraver, saved Mary Cunningham, 23, from drowning, Georges Mills, New Hampshire, August 23, 1909. Miss Cunningham dived into Lake Sunapee from a dock and, being unable to swim, failed to reach a board that a woman threw in to her. Smith, although fatigued from swimming, swam 45 feet to her and, after being grabbed and taken under once, towed her 10 feet, when others gave assistance and got both upon the dock, Smith being in a semi-conscious condition. 4137-320
