She was returning from church with two other girls when she slipped off the narrow improvised footbridge over the dam and slid down the chutes into the deep eddy below. Little Joe ALLEN, a lad eight years of age, who was nearby, jumped in and pulled her out after she had gone below the surface the first time.
