Guy W. McElroy, 18, electrician, saved Carrie A. Brune, 21, from drowning, San Francisco, California, July 27, 1913. Miss Brune, who could not swim, fell into San Francisco Bay from a yacht at a point a half-mile from shore, where the water was 60 feet deep. McElroy immediately jumped overboard, swam about 50 feet to Miss Brune, and grasped her clothing. She attempted to grasp him, but he supported her at the surface and trod water. In a few minutes she lost consciousness. McElroy supported her about five minutes, and then a skiff reached him and took them on board. Miss Brune was revived. McElroy was tired and chilled, and he was disabled one day. 12019-928
