On Sunday, July 28, Weihaiwei was the scene of a rescue by two youngsters which must elicit admiration and respect from every one who responds to a hazardous deed gallantly done.
The youthful hero and heroine are James Greenfield, aged seventeen, and his sister, Rosemary, of fourteen. James, known for his skill with boats, had been sailing all morning in the bay and after tiffin decided to sail Rosemary around the island. The sea was very rough and choppy with a fairly high wind blowing. When they were about half way around the island, a sudden gust snapped the mast and it collapsed. Luckily they were not far from shore and James rowed toward land, intending to beach the boat, climb the cliff and walk home overland to inform his mother of their safety.
