Three Boys Break Through The Ice
NEW-BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 16.--Three boys of a party playing polo on the ice broke in to-day, and Eddie Bassett, the 7-year-old son of William A. Bassett, a fish dealer, was drowned. David Phillips, of the crew of the revenue marine school bark S.P. Chase, distinguished himself in saving the life of one of the boys. He jumped into the water and held the boy up a long time until assistance arrived.
