Wayne G. Cook, 26, attorney, saved Robert H. Wunder, 20, laborer, from drowning, Buffalo, lowa, July 21, 1918. Wunder got cramp in his limbs while he was swimming in deep water in the Mississippi River 250 feet from the bank. Cook swam 225 feet to him, reaching him as he was sinking for the fourth time. Cook took hold of Wunder, and as he drew him to the surface, Wunder grasped Cook’s leg. Cook submerged Wunder to free himself, supported him for a minute or two, and then swam 10 feet with him to a rowboat, which had been brought from the bank. 19009-1636
