Noah Hood, 29, pumper, attempted to save Everett O. Walcott, 26, oil-tank loader, from suffocation, Lawrenceville, Illinois, June 5, 1912. (See case of EVERETT O. WALCOTT.) Hood reached the tank as Brown was being taken from it, and when he learned of Walcott’s condition, he immediately descended with the wire although he had just run 500 feet. He was placing the wire around Walcott when he suddenly became blind and weak. He climbed part way up the ladder and then became unconscious. Men above caught his hands and drew him from the tank, and he soon revived. 11631-833
