That they are alive Is due to the bravery of Robert Baird, Clerk at the Virginia hoteL where the party Is registered. Baird was standing In the entrance of the hotel whom he heard the young women screaming. He rushed to the beach and saw Misses Alice, Selma and Mary Wall and Laura Rogers struggling with the waves. He plunged In and by superhuman efforts was enabled to reach the young ladies. He threw a rope to Mary Wall Just as she was sinking and succeeded In pulling her out. Miss Rogers and Miss Alice Wall were aided by bystanders, while Baird helped Miss Selma Wall to reach a place of safety. Railroad From Canada to Panama.
