In 1881 he cams near losing hla own life in an attempt to save a party of four whose boat had been upset by the wash of a ferry steamer. The accident to the boat had happened Juat off the Navy Yard. Peter waa about fifty yards away in another boat. Jumping in he awam the distance righted the capsized dory, snd helped the four Into it. He waa so badly exhausted that the four whom he helped were In turn obliged to give him assistance. Off Oak Island, Revere Beach, In 1884, hs rescued a Walden woman named Lena Campbell, and worked on ber for about an hour before ahe showed signs of life There were no physicians st hand, ana the only help hs got was from soma of the pleasure seekers, whom he directed In the work of reviving the woman. He saved two boys st Nantasket the same summer, and late In November of that year went Into the water near Rutherford avenue, Willie Charlestown, for Stevens. The Boy had sunk and McNally had to dive for him. He saved seven lives In 18S5. He once engaged in a novel match with an English swimmer who one day at Crescent Beach announced that the Americans were no good at the game. Some of McNally's friends who had heard the boast aald they had a man they would match against him for $50 or as much more as he would like to strip for. A Boston saloonkeeper, j who was known some time back for his liking for everything English; furnished the money for the man from the other side and a match waa made ' for $100. The conditions were that the men should swim straight out to sea, no boats to follow, and the first to turn back to be the loser. There was a tremendous crowd at the beach, and those who knew McNally's make-u- p placed their money on him. McNally set the pace, and a lively one it was. The men were very close together, snd was said until about three miles out, when the Englishman, who was falling behind, said: "01. say, Pete." "Well, what is "Where lh bloody 'ell yer goto'?"
