Margaret F. Guy, 16, saleswoman, helped to save Arthur L. Powers, 19, student, from drowning, Waveland, Massachusetts, August 6, 1912. Powers was seized with cramp while bathing in Boston Bay 50 feet from shore, where the water was seven feet deep. Margaret swam to him, and he grabbed her around the neck with both arms and threw his legs around her waist. Margaret was pushed beneath the surface in an upright position, and when her feet touched bottom, she walked toward shore. When she had walked about 10 feet, a boy reached Powers and gave assistance. Margaret was helped to shore. She was exhausted and semiconscious, but she was revived. 13077-905
