Kenneth L. Lindsey, 21, student, helped to save Timothy Lynch, 40, janitor, from drowning, Boston, Massachusetts, March 9, 1910. At night, Lynch, who was delirious, attempted to walk across the Charles River on the ice, but, when 75 feet from the bank, he broke through into water over 10 feet deep. In bed, Lindsey, heard Lynch’s cries and, running from his home, jumped from a wall down to the ice, breaking through to his armpits. He got out upon solid ice with little difficulty and walked and crawled on the ice, his hands breaking through several times, until he could grasp Lynch. Then, with the assistance of another man, who had followed him, he succeeded in getting Lynch out of the water and a part of the way to the wall. 4673-618
