Goes Down Second limit—Lad So
e Ran Off Before Telling Anybody

 

James Sheehan, Washington

street, one of the‘nlost popular

firemen of the Central Fire Station until he resigned recently,
saved two small boys from watery graves, yesterday about noon

at Oalf Pasture Beach.

"Smiler." as he is known to his
many friends, was standing on the
float nearest shore when he observ-
ed two boys swimming together to-
ward the float. He watched them
for some time and then saw one
grasp for the other's neck. At first
“Spiller" thought the boys were
playing but both lads went under
twice and Shcchan jumped over
board after them.

He separated them and carried

one to shore in his arms. The other
wee able to take care of himself

«filth the burden off his neck. The

names of the boys could not be
learned. due to the fact that both
were so frightened they immediate.
ly left for home.

.Sheehan was first connected with
the fire caters as the regular driver
but his crave for excitement influ-
enced him to become a regular fire-
man. He took number 18 although
12 was his number. The man with
13 refused to accept that number so
Smiicr accepted it.

Sheehan resigned from the fire de-
partment recently.
