Stewart L. McClelland, 26, miner, died attempting to save Leo Dore, 18, messenger, from drowning, South Porcupine, Ontario, May 29, 1911. Dore and a sister were in a canoe on Porcupine Creek when the canoe upset and threw them into deep, cold water 25 feet from the bank. The girl grasped the canoe, but Dore, who could not swim, struggled some distance from it. McClelland heard their cries and ran 250 feet through dense brush to the creek. He plunged into the water and swam toward Dore. When he reached him, both went beneath the surface and were drowned. 6833-849
