William J. A. Darst, 14, schoolboy, helped to save George H. Grosvenor and Robert Bell, 17, from drowning, Chicago, Illinois, May 17, 1904. William and another boy of same age, in a small boat, rowed a quarter of a mile out on Lake Michigan, the waves running high, and rescued the two boys, whose canoe had capsized, paying no heed to the entreaties to return to shore of the third member of the rescue party, who was older and whose courage had failed him.
