screaming his head off right hysterical 1 tried to sIom him down and find out whit was the matter but I get him to make any sense So 1 jumped In my car and up to the post office to find out what was the I men there the post master were jfiitated he slid but kept looking out into the water and he realized there were two people out there that had gone through the ice They must h ive figured the ice still safe for skating I said even though It was pretty We d only had a eouple of days rain after frost Anyway ont fellow went through the ice and e other one fell through the hole before he could stop said he yanked a off a neighboring fenn ran out on the ice which was a stupid the ice kept inch step and sinking Ik stuck the board hole but the had already been in tho water several minutes and t seem to get up on the board They I onto the edges because the hands were too the ice kept breaking he said By this lime other people had arrived on the scene and had thrown Mr Andrews a rope to try to toss to the two in in the water 1 was 1 or two feet away from the hole he said and the next nearest fellow was about five feet back from me He spent several minutes trying to throw a rope the pair but either the wind would blow it out of their reach or they hands were numb The j tar old Roland was exhausted and kept asking him tocomeintolhcwalcr he said but the idea t appeal to him in the least That was extctly what he had lo do in the end however They also tried pulling them in with a fire hose but that didn I work either I just walked to he edge he said I don I know if the others heir Roland asking me to come In or if they figured f ell In 1 was pretty dressed at the lime I had on all new clothes I got at because I was going out to visit friends so 1 lost all that Roland fastened his arms around Denny nek and he went down too far to be able to breath He managed to get the hold loose ned and push the younger boy yearold Lome up higher in the water Another person stretched an aluminum and a wooden ladder across the lee and the younger boy grabbed the wooden ladder can take any credit for helping the younger fellow much he said He seemed to be much livelier than his brother When I got him up a bit he could grab he ladder he hauled himself most of the rest of the way himself The other man was some thing else He weighed around pounds and Mr Andrews jus wasn t strong enough to hoist him up Nor could he have held onto anything Mr grabbed hold of the ladder hung on while the others hauled them in He was on the hands and stomach he said because the ice kept breaking and digging into him His hands froze to the ladder but lie was only In the waler about minutes as compared the to minutes for the nurds he said The IwnSheppard men were whisktd to the hospital by
