N. Peter Lugen, 14, schoolboy, saved Tony Resso, 9, and Joseph Maggio, 9, from drowning, Dunkirk, New York, February 4, 1910. Peter ran about 1800 feet over the ice in Dunkirk Harbor, Lake Erie, to the other boys, who had broken through the ice where the water was 14 feet deep. He extended his foot to Tony and pulled him out upon the ice. After failing in an attempt to grab Joseph by the hand, he dived into the water, caught him by the collar and foot, and shoved him out onto the ice. Peter then climbed out himself. 4826-473
