XV. OLD SERIES, NO. 45 Thursday, July 13, 1882 Just in the Nick of Time Last Saturday evening, while James Beaurais, a member of the life- saving crew at the "mouth," was going from the station to the pier, he suddenly saw before him in the water the body of a child being swept under a building that stands in about eight feet of water. With great presence of mind Mr. Beaurais immediately plunged into the water and under the building and soon returned with what proved to be the un- conscious body of his brother's 4-year-old child. On reaching the ground he soon succeeded in restoring the child to consciousness. One moment later and the child would have been drowned and no one would have known what had become of it - Muskegon Chronicle. Big Steamer Launched at Bay City Capt.
