Alvin L. Herring, 23, laborer, saved an unidentified girl from drowning, Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, August 3, 1928. While swimming in deep water in Sweet Arrow Lake, the girl went under the surface momentarily, lost self control, and threshed. Herring, who had just completed a long swim, swam 30 feet to her, reaching her when she was slightly below the surface. After he had pulled her to the surface, she clasped him around the neck and legs, and they were momentarily submerged. Herring was unable to free himself, and with great effort he swam with the girl 19 feet to wadable water. 28559-2330
