Wild WestTactics Save A Sailor
From New York City Drowning |
• I
r\NE man's foresight, resource-
V fulness, fast action, and faster
thinking—plus good luck_com-
bined to save a sailor from drown-
ing almost in the shadow of the
skyscrapers of downtown New
York.
I The fast action, resourcefulness
—and good luck—were personified
by Frank Hahnel, a watchman.
(Hahnel had completed his night's
(work at the building he guards
)ind had stepped out on to South
Btreet for a breath of early morn-
ing air. In the dim light of a street
jamp, he saw the sailor. The young
man was walking the stringpiece
between two of the piers that
fringe New York's famed East
river.
The sailor seemed to be looking
for his ship. Then he stumbled on
the stringpiece. Arms out, clutch-
ing at the air, he swung around
as if in a slow movie—and toppled
into the river.
, Hahnel ran for the spot, pulling
out his flashlight. It was bitterly
cold, and a strong tide was run-
ning down river toward Brooklyn
Bridge, two hundred yards away.
If the current carried the sailor
among the ice-covered piles be-
neath the piers, his chances of res-
cue were ended.
i He was still visible when Hah-
rel got to the pier. He had hit
the water fifteen feet below the
street level, come to the surface
and was going around in a slow
whirlpool made by a jutting c
ner of stonework.
, The beam of Hahnel's light <
closed a .coil of rope on a barge ;
ran for the rope, thfcn to another
pier where he located a life pre-
server, part of some emergency
'equipment there Attaching the
line, he threw the life preserver
down to the sailor, who barely
managed to get his hands on it. At
anv moment he might lose his grip
the icy water and the shock of
sudden immersion had taken all
jhi strength.
I Two other men who had seen
Hahnel's light then came on the
scene. Jt was evjdentthat the vie-

tim was helpless, so Hahnel then
staged his Wild West act. He fix-
ed a running noose in the free end
of the line and began making casts
at the revolving sailor. After i
half dozen tries he succeeded ir
lassoing the young man. Then ht
worked the rope down around tht
sailor's shoulders, drew it taut
and hauled him up to safety.
"A flashlightrls part of my reg-
ular equipment," Hahnel said, "but
if I had been without it, ther(
would have been no more sailor
1 had loaded the light with fresh
batteries, and it was the bright
beam we had to work with that
made it possible for us to do tht
job, especially that lassoing act
It all still seems a little strange
—a New York' night watchman
turning cowboy to rescue a sailoi
that couldn't swim."
Hahnel completed the job by
calling an ambulance, which gave
the shivering sailor first aid treat-
ment.
