PRESENCE OF MIND

  A little daughter of Mr. Charles Lynch, of Vinalhaven, fell into a
well recently about which she was playing in company with another girl
about eight years of age. With considerable presence of mind for a child
of that age, the child ran to the house of Mr. James McDonald, near by,
and told him. Mr. McDonald hastened to the well, but could see nothing
of the girl. Taking a long pole, with a nail in the end, he reached it
down in the water, and fortunately her clothes caught on the nail and
she was brought to the surface. She was unconscious when taken out, but
was restored by prompt measures and hard work, and is getting well
rapidly.
