SOLDIER'S EFFORT TO
SAVE CHILD.
JUMPED FROM LINER AND
WAS DROWNED.
Corporal Thomas Flaherty, of the Royal Array Service Corn, lost his life in a gallant effort to save a child who had fallen overboard in the Thames recently: The little one was rescued by another man,
The Kaisar-I-Hind, bound for Bombay with a draft of four hun- dred soldiers and many other pas- sengers, had just emerged from the entrance to Tilbury Docks and was in the Thames, when there was a sudden cry of "Somebody over- board." Passengers rushed to the side of the ship, and in the water they saw floating a little fairhaired girl about seven years of age..
Almost the next instant Corporal Flaherty leapt overboard. He had taken off his tunic and leapt about thirty or forly feel from the dock of the liner into the river, Al- though he fell awkwardly, he at once struck out for the child.
What followed was told by Harold Russell; of Smarts-road, Gravesend, the second mate of the tug Kenin. "The child," ho snid, "was floating on its back and crying most plteously, 'I want my daddy As we passed the soldier I called out, Are you all right, and he shouted back, 'Yes, I'm all right, don't mind me; save the child.'
"I stripped, dived in, and awam to the tile girl. She was still floating as if too frightened to move, and was moaning, I want my daddy." A life-belt was thrown and we were hauled aboard. The taken to the fore little girl was cabin and was strippet. When the captain, to reassure her, said, 'Don't cry, sonny, you're all right,' she stopped crying and testily correct- ed him with, I am not a boy, I am a girl."
