Change of Partners on the River Rescue
John Baron heroically saved a drifting nitroglycerin boat after Farr, Miss Ferris, and Miss Beck faced peril when a suicide mission boat veered toward them. Baron swam to secure the craft, risking explosion to prevent disaster, returning with the boat and earning regional recognition. Farr and the two women faced personal fallout as engagements shifted afterward.
