Mervin L. Van Wey, 16, student, attempted to save Stanley D. Lansborough, 17, student, from drowning, Olivet, Michigan, January 2, 1913. (See cases of GEORGE C. DEWEY, STANLEY D. LANSBOROUGH, and LAWRENCE E. LANSBOROUGH.) When a boy fell into the water, Mervin took off his skates and ran to the bank for a rail. He reached the hole just after Lawrence got up on the ice, the boy and George having sunk by that time. He and Lawrence attempted to put the rail under Stanley’s arm, but the ice broke under them. Both used the rail for support and got out, after Stanley had sunk for the last time. 9763-956
