His companions thought that he had dived and for a minute paid no attention. Charlie Meyers of th** springs became alarmed when he did not come up soon and rushed to the end of the pool where he saw De La Riva lying on the bottom. He plunged dressed into the water and brought the young man to the surface.First aid measures were employed by Sim Myers and later by a doctor from Nordhoff who was summoned. They were unsuccessful.
