Priests Narrowly Escape Death at Rockaway Beach
In San Francisco two young Rom incon Catholic priests, Rev. John Heeney and Rev. J Warren Holleran, nearly drowned after an undertow pulled them offshore off Rockaway Beach. Holleran freed himself and collapsed on the sand, while Heeney was swept ~half a mile out before waves returned him to shallow surf and rescuers aided him ashore. A stray note mentions St Johnswort and a legend about blooming on June 24, but none of that belongs to the incident.
