H. R. O’HARA DIED FOR FAMILY
H. R. O’Hara, of Toronto, died that his wife and child might live. There were two life-belts for three of them. He fixed the belts on the two, hoping that there would be buoyancy enough to hold up all three. Not one of them could swim. O’Hara bobbed in the water, resting on the belts to keep himself afloat. He saw the two sinking, and then slipping a little behind them he disappeared beneath the water. Mrs. O’Hara was found afterward hysterically clinging to the keel of an overturned boat by Henry Freeman, of Wisconsin.
