Thomas R_ Harrington,

For two hours he swam in the
almost icy ocean off the Dela-
ware coast dragging along his

unconscious wife by holding her

hair in his teeth. Her arm was
broxen in the collision of the
Monroe and the Nantucket, and

she cried out to him that’ rather
than undergo the pain of his
holding her arm she _ would
rather die.
Here is Harrington's story
the struggle in the water:
“At first I tried to hold the
poor girl up by her arm, but it
pained her horribly .and = she
screamed and wrenched so that I
saw it would not do. She was
faint one minute and in shivers
and struggles of pain the next. I
her hair into tight
to her head as I could,
and then took it in my teeth and
tried to keep her head above
water by keeping it in on my
chest while IT swam on my back.
That must have hurt her, too,
but she didn’t say anything eéx-
cept, ‘That's better, Tom.’
“We had been getting
that way for about fifteen min-
utes—it seemed like two or
three hours—when a_ lifeboat
came along. They went withi

that, and out of her too. I got
