A HIT IN THE EYE IS WORTH 2 (SCOUTS) IN THE WATER.
In walking over the great dam of the Grand River Galt, Canada, one of a party of boys slipped and fell into deep water.
A 13-year-old recently-joined Boy Scout, James Charlton, know- ing the boy could not swim, jump- ed in and held him up until both were rescued. Having been seized by the drowning boy, the Scout broke away and saved his own life and that of the boy by hitting him in the eye!
Scout Charlton has been award- ed the Silver Cross, the second highest decoration for gallantry of the Boy Scouts Association, for the
rescue.
