A. Rummler, 1015 Starr road, Winnetka, was drowned in Lake Michigan about three miles off the Winnetka shore Tuesday morning after clinging despe- rately during the night to an over- turned catboat in which he and three companions had sailed out of Wilmette harbor Monday night. His three friends were rescued about 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon by Evanston coast guards. Friends and former associates of Fred at New Trier High school are mourning his untimely death. "He was an earnest, conscientious, hard working boy," remarked Frederick A. Kahler, dean of boys at the high school. Fred has grown up in this community, where his parents have lived for many years. His father, E. A. Rummler, has served as village president and has always taken an active interest in civic affairs. Marjory Oleson, 17, of 240 Wood- stock avenue, Kenilworth, daughter of John P. Oleson, vice-president of the First National bank of Chicago, was rescued about half a mile from the boat after she had sunk once. She had started to swim to shore. Cling to Boat 15 Hours The two other members of the party, Shirley Conlee, 18, daughter of H. E. Conlee, of 627 West Kenilworth road, Kenilworth, and Harold Tarrant, 20, son of J. H. Tarrant, of 944 Westmoor road, Winnetka, were still clinging to the little craft after fifteen hours when the rescuers found them. They were near exhaustion. The party of four rented a sixteen- foot catboat from the Buccaneer's club in Wilmette harbor Monday night. They had gone about three miles when a sudden gust of wind struck the boat, overturned it, and threw out its occu< pants. All were good swimmers, and after pulling themselves up they clung to the little craft, confident that a passing boat could be hailed to pick them up. Their efforts to attract the attention of excursion steamers which passed nearby during the night were unsuccessful. Rummler a Hero The three survivors of the accident declare that Rummler was the real hero during the long night hours, as it was .he who cheered them up and at- tempted to make light of the suitation. It was about 9 o'clock in the morning, as near as Tarrant and the girls could tell, when Rummler lost his hold on the boat and rolled off into the water. Tarrant dived for him and brought him up. Two more times Rummler slipped into the water, and Tarrant's third attempt to rescue him was un- successful, as he was too weak to lift the body. Rummler was graduated from New Trier Township High school in 1927 and had spent one year at Cornell uni- versity. The three survivors were also New Trier graduates of the class of Girls in Hospital The two girls were taken to the Ev- anston hospital greatly exhausted but not in a critical condition. Tarrant was also exhausted but was able to give the details of the accident to po- lice and other officials. In addition to the Evanston coast guard, the Chicago coast guard and two seaplanes from the Great Lakes Naval Training station took part in the search for the missing party. Paul Helman, in charge of the coast guard boat that brought the survivors ashore, was assisted by W. T. Owens and C. D. Lindstrom.
