But it was a strong, a.saly pull much steadier than I thought Then, suddenly I was out of the water safe again. My men had harrowed a winch from some telephone linemen working on the bridge, and it waa that which had pulled me out with such an even, rapid pull." It waa a surprise to Walkers tenders to see him alive. He had been under water, fighting for his Ilfs, for FOUR HOURS.

After what seemed hours, a heavy rope as sent down to me. The life-lin- e waa taut as a violin string, and all they hid to do was loop the rope around It and the force of the current carried it down. But now I realized that I was very weak and everything depended on getting that rope around me and securely tied. It took me half an hour to get that rope tied In a simple clove hitch, and then I was completely exhausted. I gave a jerk on the rope to signal the tender, prayed for the breaks, and waited.
