Perils To Rescue
Victim of Shark
SAN FRANCISCO, UP—A brave
co-ed -swam out into the Pacific
Ocean Thursday and tugged ashore
a youth who had been fatally
wounded by a shark.
Albert Kegler, who died 2Vfe
hours after the attack, had first
warned Shirley O’Neill back to
the beach by yelling: “It’s a shark
Go back! Go back!”
But when he cried for help the
attractive brunette swam out 50
yards and pulled Kegler back to
Baker Beach, just west of Golden
Gate Bridge.
Both were students at San Fran
cisco State College and both just
18.
Kagler was still conscious but
incoherent when sped to Letter
man Army Hospital, where he
died of shock and loss of blood
despite emergency surgery. Doc
tors said his left arm was nearly
ripped from the shoulder, and he
had deep gashes on his neck, right
arm and back.
The pair had gone for a late
afternon dip on an unusually warm
day and were treading the water
when the youth screamed his first
warning.
Miss O’Neill said she recalled
seeing a heavy, dark body break
the surface near Kegler after she
had returned to shore. Tying the
end of a nearby fisherman’s line
around her waist, she plunged
back into ihe surf.
“I saw Albert struggle and he
couldn’t make any progress,” she ;
said. “He’s a good swimmer, so I
knew he must have been hurt
badly. I couldn’t leave him.”
There was blood all around us,”
Miss O’Neill continued.
“I was scared. I didn’t know
what to do, but I knew I couldn’t
leave him.
“So finally I told him: “The only
way I can do it is if you lie still,
lie back and relax.”

Instructor William Bergadine
immediately administered first

to patch up face cuts and bandage
a wounded head. Then her hus

removed four pieces of glass
from Mrs. Heinrich’s scalp.

others are willing to let them.
