Saved a Drowning Girl.

Clara Zimmer, 14 years old, while swimming near the College Point Casino at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, ventured out too far, and was being carried into the sound by the strong current when a young man named Edward Raw heard her cries and jumped in to save her. He got the girl around the waist and swam ashore. When he reached the wharf the girl was thought to be dead. She was revived with difficulty.
