Eskimo Boy Saved From Icy Stream J POINT BARROWT Alaska, Aug. 22 (U.P)—Leaping into the icy 'Waters of Dease inlet fully clothed, Thomas Brower, son of Charles Brower, veteran commissioner, rescued an Eskimo boy from frowning. The Eskimo, unable to swim and clad in a heavy fur coat and rubber boots, tumbled from the, launch while riding downstream. Brower dived in and kept the frightened native afloat, while those in the boat attempted to maneuver close enough to pick up the two.
