Miss Marguerite Linton Glentworth, niece of the Earl of Limerick, had a close brush with death while spending her summer in Ashbury Park, New Jersey, as reported by the “New York Herald”. Miss Glentworth, who was swimming in the rough sea with a group of friends, tried to reach a yacht anchored off the beach when a massive wave swept her underwater and far from shore. A lifeguard managed to rescue her just in time, as she was already unconscious when she resurfaced. Miss Glentworth eventually regained consciousness after a few hours.
