Heroic Action - A Denver paper contains ncwa of the heroic action of Miss Ruth Ragan, in saving the life of a young lady from drowning. Miss Ragan and a Miss Page were on board ship bound from San Francisco to Japan when a heavy sea was encountered and the boat listed so heavily that Miss Tage was swept from the deck out into the sea. Miss Ragan was standing with her near the rail when the accident occurred and, without an instant's hesita tion, she threw off her wraps and plunged over after her friend. A life boat was at once sent to the rescue and despite the terrific sea, Miss Ragan sus tained her friend until the boat reached them.
