Brother Saves Young Sisler A young Salem man held his youngsr sister afloat for several minutes in the cold Willamette river Sunday afternoon .until res cuers could get to the scene and pull them to safety.

Robert Elfstrom, Jr., 1775 North 24th street, saw the acci dent from his boat which was just ahead of the Shepherd boat and turned about to return to the scene. He and Frank Brown, who occupied the boat with their wives, grasped the pair and held them afloat until a third boat, piloted by Stan Ness, could be signaled from downstream and the two put aboard it. They were taken ashore, checked by first aid men and the girl taken to Salem General hospital for treatment of I severe head laceration. Shepherd told rescuers he was to exhausted from the struggle to keep himself and his sister afloat that he "couldn't have swum another stroke" when they reached them. They were some 50 feet from their own boat at the time of the rescue and too weak to get to it, rescuers said. Elfstrom said the pair was "darned lucky" that he happened to look back and see them when he did. Another minute and he "doubted that they would have been still afloat.
