John V. Rice, Jr., 42, inventor and mechanical engineer, saved Augusta K. Kelly, 5, and attempted to save Albert H. Buckalew, 22, painter, from drowning, Bordentown, New Jersey, July 31, 1913. (See case of ALBERT H. BUCKALEW.) When Buckalew called for help, Rice, fully dressed, jumped from the bridge and swam 50 feet to him and relieved him of Augusta. Rice put Buckalew’s hand on his shoulder and swam toward the bank, but Buckalew soon released his hold and sank. Unaware that Buckalew was not with him, Rice reached the bank in safety with Augusta. 11701-809
