[Illustration: HARRY FOOTE AND W. SAXON.
_From a Photo. by Hill & Wakeling, Plymouth._]
"Harry Foote, a schoolboy, aged thirteen, saved W. Saxon, five years
old, on August 10th, 1891. The boy fell off the quay whilst playing.
Harry Foote ran to the place and jumped off the quay with all his
clothes on, and succeeded in bringing him to a landing place, a distance
of twelve yards. There were ten feet of water and the tide was running
swiftly."
