Two youngsters saved from drowning in Kennebec river
On Monday afternoon in Bath Maine two boys ages 12 and eight were rescued from the Kennebec river near Head of the Beach. Miss Muriel Howe 23 leaped into the water fully clothed to save her eight year old brother Franklin. She brought him ashore after he was swept away by a strong current. Irving Talbot 12 was going under at the cove beyond Upper Washington street when David Clark 11 swam to him and pulled him to safety. Clark is praised as an expert young swimmer and is the son of Mr and Mrs Raymond Clark.
