Kermit Roosevelt Saves Lives In Quick Shore Horse Rescue
President's son Kermit Roosevelt halted a runaway pair of horses on a dry afternoon along the shore near Sayville and likely saved Mrs Frank Hilton of New York and her two young sons from peril. The galloping horses narrowly missed injury as onlookers held their breath and Mrs Hilton protected her children in the carriage seat. Mr Hilton, thrown from the team when the horses fled, escaped unharmed and rushed to town after the incident. Roosevelt, shy but quick, rode back to home atop his pony after the rescue became safe.
