Celebrated Lifesaver Nan Recalls Harrowing Rescue
Nan saved eight people before the association formed and received a silver medal from the United States Life Saving Association. His bravest act was rescuing three young men after a rowboat collision with the Harlem steamer near Eleventh Street, when he plunged in after dropping his papers on the dock. He was pulled out in a drowning condition and recalls the moment as a vivid, music-like resonance in his ears. Long’s notable save involved the son of Police Sergeant Webb at Dover dock, and Kelly saved a Bay Ridge boy who twice pulled him under.

Rehoboth Camp Camp Meeting Reflects Deep Spiritual Gains
The Rehoboth Camp meeting saw no conversions this season, though religious exercises were deeply meaningful and attendees testified to a rich sense of divine presence. Officials lament the lack of visiting sinners and note they stay at the Beach, while locals conduct meetings on the camp ground half a mile away. A sharper focus, fewer distractions, and more fervor could draw in more souls.
