Mahogany Laden Craft Is Rescued By Boy Heroes
Members Anclote Club Bring Vessel Into Port at Midnight.
Catching up the paper, Bob read a column story that made his cheeks burn. When he saw that the steamer carried a $75,000 cargo, “most of which will undoubtedly be awarded as salvage to the six heroic rescuers,” he rushed into his mother’s room.
“I’ve read it,” she said, her face sobering. “You told me you didn’t do much. I suppose you see that ‘Robert Balfour, the son of a Chicago millionaire, led in the four hours’ battle with the gale.’”
The boy, his eyes snapping, shook the paper.
“It ain’t true,” he began. “I’ll make that reporter take it back—”
His mother walked to Bob and put her arms about the excited boy.
